How many oz of liquids is everyone getting? I’m 5 Days post op and nervous that I’m not getting enough. I’m not hungry but when I have my shakes or even just drink water, I never feel full and I haven’t pushed it to the limit where I feel like I’m going to throw up. I feel like I’m able to drink way more than I should because of that. I know I sound crazy but it’s still stressing me out!!

I’m just so scared that I’m going to mess something up, either drinking too much or drinking too little. Like you said, your feeling of being full is different now and I don’t want to push the limits, I’m trying to do everything to a T but the feelings are all so new

THANK YOU! Even in the hospital I asked one of my surgeon’s residents if I actually had the RNY because I didn’t feel that different and was able to have liquids and shakes pretty quickly. Definitely eased my mind a little bit. Wandering thoughts are no friends to me lol I just can’t wait to start seeing some progress.

Second day back home and I’m feeling okay. I know I might sound crazy but I feel like I’m not getting full of off liquids?? I’m not necessarily hungry but I’ve read so many people’s posts about how they get this full feeling and how it’s hard to take many liquids in but I feel like I can drink all the liquids in the world. I tend to obsess over and stress out about things I don’t have to but I haven’t been able to help think that my stomach isn’t as small as it should be or what not. I got the bypass and I my thoughts are just all over the place- any advice anyone? please tell me I’m just crazy and my stomach is actually the teeny tiny size it’s supposed to be

thank you!!

thank you! and the nurses and staff have been nothing less than incredible

I have a pretty high pain tolerance and it was a 9/10 last night. They are trying to get away from giving narcotics so they only had me on tylenol and eventually gave me morphine and something else but I didn’t have an relief until I was given oxy. Gas pains were/are pretty bad especially in my back and shoulders. I know it’s worth it so I would definitely do it again if I had to. I hear every day it’ll get easier at least pain wise! Good luck to you!!

Thank you!

so I had my bypass done yesterday and let’s just say last night was what I would believe to be the worst pain ever, but day 2 and feeling better, have to stay an extra night in hospital and I just can’t wait to be in my own bed

Aw well good luck!! I’m so excited but starting to get a little more nervous

Thank you!! And yes I am, I don’t think I could have found a better surgeon. Are you also going with him?

hey, I’m right near you!! My surgery is tomorrow at Bridgeport Hospital, I got approved in just a little under a week- started my process end of April
