Hooch

Day 3 of new me. I feel good if I dont move. Sitting still I feel like nothing happened. Standing, or going to a sit of stand, it's very painful. Walking is about a 3 on the pain scale but I can manage it with pain meds.

I just cant get over the... what hunger. I feel no need for food. It's so weird not to be hungry( wish it stayed) .

How long does the not being hungry last?

I will be 3 weeks tomorrow. I've eaten tuna fish in the packets, string cheese, oatmeal, scrambled eggs, apple sauce, chicken salad

I've found that as my incision pain gets better, my stomach itself is a little crampier.

I had no pain at all post-surgery and still none six weeks later. I guess I got lucky.

I had almost no pain at all, but people are all across the board when it comes to post-surgical pain. The fact you had hernia repair might be a factor, too...

Had mine on Monday. Terrible pain. Can get liquids, vitamins and meds down. Feels like I was kicked in the stomach by a bull. Large hiatal hernia was repaired as well.

Surgery twin!!! 1/21 too. I’m so nervous!!!!

Doing my high protein low carb diet around 800 calories a day, and no meat during the week I definitely need to drink a **** tone of water in order to have a proper daily ****! A gallon does the trick. It's going to be hell not drinking a gallon a day after WLS. Ah first world country problems.

RNY is short for Roux-en-Y gastric bypass

I've been having mixed feelings as well - from fear to euphoria to terror to uncertainty to wondering if I'll miss certain foods, to wondering if my husband will hate me b/c we won't be able to eat out for a while or the way we used to...to wondering if I'm strong enough. But then I read these forums and the success stories and I get pumped again@!
You can do it. You will do well. It will do wonders for your health and for YOU want in your life.<3

Ladies, make sure to wear a sports bra post-op! I wore one all yesterday and took it off before bed and never put it back on. The lack of support was adding pressure to core, making me more sore throughout today. I put it back on a few minutes ago and already feel much better.

I’m on the 21st. Same as you. Scared, nervous, excited. I will really rely on this group for help, comfort, support and encouragement.

So I had my surgery at 55. I was 260 ish pounds at surgery. My high was over 300 and I'm 5'3". I was wearing a 24. I wear a 6 now. I'm a nationally ranked fencer in my age group and I didn't start fencing until I started to lose weight. (Been fencing 18 months, currently ranked no. 24 among women 50-59 and no. 30 among women over 40). I've lost about 150 pounds. I look hot. I haven't had plastics - if I did, I'd probably be a size 4. I deadlift 235 pounds and squat 225. I vomited when I got e coli from a salad and was sick for four days. I eat pretty much what I want now - so long as I stay under about 1500 calories a day.
Do what you need to do. I only regret not doing this sooner.

Headed to the hospital. Super nervous. Didn’t sleep last night. Wish me luck.
