I have 4 of my incisions right across my belly button line. I’m a week out and no way in heck would I want anything like that around my waist. I do wear a binder everyday an it has helped SOOOO much! I got mine at Lane Bryant. It never gets loose and stays put. Keeps everything nice and tight. And it’s smooth under my clothes. I had it for dressing up before. Now it’s everyday wear. I need to get another one.

I am a week out and on the full Liquids. I mix Isopure unflavored in everything. I just put it in refried beans and thinned it with V8...HELLO Taco Tuesday! I’m only eating about 4oz at a time so I only use 1/2 a scoop. I also am using the Isopure clear drinks. I have to doctor them up a little because I’m not crazy about the taste. But the lemonade flavor mixed with some sugar free lemonade is very doable to sip on all day. If you can get the whole bottle done it’s 20 grams. I’m saving my protein shakes for snacks. I’m supposed to have 3 per day. So if I drink a whole one divided in to 3 snacks it’s another 30 grams. Ten pounds this week since surgery. 27 pounds since I started this journey right before Christmas. I expect it’ll be slower. But I’m sticking to the plan and treating my tool like a precious gem!

I’ll be 54 in June I had my RNY a week ago today! I feel great! Everything I feared was for nothing. I was prepared for the worst, but got the best. So angry at myself for not doing this sooner. I’m type 2 diabetic. Was on a pump. Came home without the pump, BP meds at 1/2, and no other diabetes meds or cholesterol meds!!
