  1. I’m 2 weeks post op. What are you now starting to eat?
  2. I’ll be 6 days post op tomorrow from having RNY. My gas pains are brutal. I feel it wrapped around to my lower back & in between my belly button & breasts. I started gas x today for some relief. Also when do our stools stop being explosive liquid?
  3. Does anyone have any tricks for crushed pills to taste better? I’ve tried taking them with a shot of whatever protein drink I’m having & they’re still vile.
  4. I’m day 2 post op. They weighted me today & I’m up 9lbs. I know it’s water retention & swelling but man it’s disheartening to see the scale creeping up.
  5. Three 8 oz cups. I’ve been tolerating liquids quite well
  6. I’m sore & the gas pains are the worst. I’ve managed to get down 3 cups of water/crystal light since 2pm. I’ve gotten up twice to walk my laps on the unit. 5 laps each time They’re keeping an eye on my heart rate as my resting heart rate is a bit high 115-120’s HW: 289 SW: 270 First Goal weight: 175 Second gold weight: 145

  14. The pre op is hard. But this journey is supposed to be hard. Every time I’m tempted to cheat, I remind myself that the reason I’m heading into Bariatric surgery is due to a lifetime of a chest here, and there. I’m on day 6 of my 14 day pre op & Down 10lbs.

  16. Oh my gosh, I feel you. Where are you from?
  17. Where are you from? I’m in Massachusetts
  18. I’m in Massachusetts. Surgery on May 10th
  19. Hi everyone, I’m having rny on May 10th. I’m on day three of my liquid pre op diet. I’ll admit to be really tempted to eat some food. I cannot be in the same room with my husband/kids while they’re eating dinner. Too many temptations. Best of luck to all of you.
  20. You’ll start a 2 week partial liquid diet. Two protein shakes a day & a lean cuisine for dinner. I’m opting to do straight liquid to get used to doing it after surgery. You’ll also get a body wash for the night before surgery & a bottle of Gatorade for the night & morning before surgery
