@girlaccountant I hope you’re doing well, thinking of you!

How is everyone doing?

I’m fine here! Only bit of tiny gas pain in my shoulder.

I’m still on oxygen, have compression stockings and massage wraps around my calf muscles.

Easy breezy so far.

I have a swallow X-ray tomorrow and then Friday allowed to have fluids. (Currently on IV)

Be well everyone xo

Yaaaaasss this!!! I’m still struggling to get in enough Fluid today. I just don’t want to end up needing IV fluids. I’ve been trying to take a sip every time a commercial comes on. So weird not to be “starving”. I did manage a shower today, that felt great. Cheers...Keep drinking my friend!!

I finally went pee and I’m already home:) omg:) so happy to be home, my son don’t know I’m here so he will get a surprise ha ha. Now just to figure out how to get all these liquid and Protein requirements in my body. I found out the top of my stomach hurts more because I had a hernia repaired while I was under. Best of luck to everyone and thank you all for all the support you all are amazing!!

17april🙋‍♂️ This time next week it will all be over/beginning! To say I’m nervous is a massive understatement! The pre op diet is testing to say the least as I live away with work in hotels surrounded by fast food. I’ve made a few rubbish choices last week and with a week to go I hope I’ll be ok and haven’t done to much damage. Good luck everyone!

Yay! Doctor just came in. Vitals and blood work look good and I tolerated my liquid diet so he said I could go home anytime.

My liquid diet started today--surgery is tomorrow, won't know what time until this afternoon when they call...
Excited, very nervous, but love reading how everyone who has gone ahead of me this month is doing now! Trying to get myself good an hydrated. I expect I probably won't be able to sleep tonight...

Hope everyone is recovering well my surgery is tomorrow and my period came today has that happened to anyone

So I am 2 days post RNY. Pain is less, mostly just gas I think. I am up walking around every 30min to and hour, burping and finally passing gas but no BM yet. The discharge nurse told us that if we don't see a BM by Saturday to try milk of magnesia, if that doesn't work, try suppositories. Aside from that just to keep taking the senokot they prescribed. Hopefully it comes without issue by Saturday!!! Its 3pm and today I have had a cup of broth and a cup of apple juice diluted. It's taking me about 2hrs to finish a cup. I should get about 5 cups in today of the recommended 4-6 cups so I'm happy. Going to try some tea next I think.

I'm so glad it's getting better and better every day! Thank you for the thoughts and prayers...officially I have to arrive at the hospital at 4:45AM tomorrow so it will be a 7pm bedtime tonight hahahaha

Doing well today finally peeing ok, no bm and I have not passed gas yet but I am walking laps. I have eaten some broth the Jello was too sweet. I’m taking hydrocodone for pain it’s not bad. All of you who have the preop diet follow it, that was the first thing they told my husband, he could tell I followed my diet and had no problems because I did. I was so scared for surgery but honestly it was as everyone else said not bad. Good luck to everyone who’s surgery is coming up!

Yay I’m glad everyone that has had it seems to be doing well!! Mine is tomorrow as well—getting a little more nervous and lots more excited! Been a long time coming I feel like.

I love hearing about everyone who has already had their surgery. I hope you all are recovering well.
My bypass is tomorrow, so I am on a clear liquid diet all day today. I have to drink magnesium citrate today also. I know that is supposed to “clean out” my digestive track 😃, so I am a little nervous about the timing. I have to leave the house to get my girls from school and I need to go to Target at some point today. I really don’t want any embarrassing bathroom situations to occur.
Other than that, I am going to pack my bag today and do some cleaning around the house in case I don’t feel like doing that for a while. I also need to remember to have my husband take some “before” pictures tonight.
I hope I’m not forgetting anything!

Doing all ok here. On pain meds from an IV. Compression socks on. And also these calf wraps that massage. Just feel tired. I also have oxygen.

I’m so grateful for this forum and all the lovely people on who have shared, to the women who have also shared on instagram & YouTube. I feel blessed to have had that as a support to inform me.

I hope everyone is doing great. Sending everyone much love, support and whatever it is you need. We can all do this, this has given me hope for great change to make life so much better. I can feel happiness sifting in. Things will be difficult but no matter what challenges lay ahead, we can all do this step by step. It’s a big thing we’ve all made the decision to do to help ourselves.

My weigh in at surgery was 293.3 so down.

Night night everyone. 😊☺️🤩

All done., surgery over. No pain.
Xoxoxo o

So I was taken off my iv sometime mid morning the day after my surgery since I'm drinking well and urinating. I was also discharged and home less than 24hrs after surgery. I'm tired and tender but most of my pain I think is gas related so I'm just drinking my Water and trying to move around as much as possible. No flatulence or BM yet, just burps. It's really nice to see my little one. Missed him so much.

Congrats, I was just discharged from hospital. Super sore & kinda tired. Walking & Water helps

They put a nausea patch behind my ear. They told me they’d remove it if I had trouble urinating. Supposedly it can cause Water retention. If you have that you might want to remove it. Hope you’re feeling better! I’m still trying to get my water in for the day. Never realized how big the bottle was, lol.

Good luck!! They just discharged me, you’ve got this!! See you on the loser bench!! ☺️

I brought most of things everyone listed and my Sherpa blanket. Everything feels ok except my stomach really hurts because I can’t pee!! Been trying for 4 hours off n on and can’t go ugh!! I feel like I need to but just can’t this sucks! I’m doing the breathing exercises and everything just that 1 thing I can’t seem to get thru!! Hope everyone is doing great and if I don’t say it later.. Best wishes and luck for anyone who goes tomorrow!!

I am right before you @cowboychesney28 April 29th.

Mine is April 30th. I’m having the sleeve done. Getting ready to start my liquid diet before surgery in a couple days. I’m a whole bunch of emotions. Nervous, excited, scared, anxious. Just wanna get it done and move forward
