Hi guys!! Like Alex, recovery of RNY was very manageable. I still haven’t passed any gas, so belly is still pretty distended. But pain is under control and I was able to tolerate Bari 3 diet today, sooooo I just left the hospital!! Yay!

Hola! I made it to the Loser's Bench!!! My bypass went smoothly.

Recovery (so far) has been manageable, and I'm grateful for that. I have talked/ laughed with family and friends, walked my hospital wing twice, and am now sitting in a chair in a sunny spot of my room getting ready to read a book.

I am taking it hour by hour, and the past few hours have been good to me. I hope all the other July Losers are having a good day too

Feeling a little better this morning!

Got sleeved Monday
Today I woke up at 299.8- first time under 3 bills in a long time.
First attempt at a Protein Shake this am and see how it goes.
Being under 300lbs doesn't seem like much of a victory in the long run, but it is a start

Hello guys. New here. Surgery date next week 7/10/19!!!!

Feeling a little better this morning!

Finally awake enough... Dr said surgery couldn’t have been more perfect when he talked to my fiancé. I Haven’t seen him yet. Slept most of the day... lots of morphine PCA which is helpful. Just got up tonpee for the first time, wasn’t too awful. Because of my csections I had more scar tissue so he had to do a 6th incision. I had RNY. Keeping fluids down. Drank 2oz in the last hour.

I am a nurse at the hospital I am having surgery at so lots of familiar faces today. T-minus 1 hour!

Better than I thought! Very little gas pain or pain at all.

Alex76, good luck today!! You’ve got this!! The nerves went away as soon as they gave me Versed and were wheeling me to OR asking about my babies. Great way to fall asleep...

Hello! Leaving for the hospital in about 6 hours. I'm mostly excited, but a little anxious too.
I'm pretty sure that most surgeons wanted the long holiday weekend off too! LOL

Gotta say pain isn’t as bad as I thought it would be! 👍🏼

Oh wow! I didn't know they could use them for bariatric surgeries

Ok, y'all, my turn to post.
I can't believe my surgery will be here in about 10 hours. I will spend tonight binge watching Law and Order SVU, packing my bag, taking my shower, and using my CHG wipes. I naturally overthink and panic about everything, but I'm trying to stay positive and just get through the next few hours by reminding myself why I started this journey years ago.
Please send positive vibes my way and I'll post another update as soon as I'm feeling up to it.
Thank you all for coming along on this crazy ride with me!

Alright @alex76 you’re up! You are the last one of us this week! Apparently all our surgeons like the beginning of the week!

How are all all you guys from Monday & Tuesday doing?

They used a robot which I guess has better outcomes for pain and people go home quicker usually

I have 6 incisions too. I had two previous csections and that hiatal hernia to get fixed. Hopefully we heal nicely and won’t even be able to tell. 🤞🏽
