I enjoyed my house slippers over those I'll fitting socks. You'll be walking a lot. And make sure whatever you're wearing there is nice and loose.

I'm reading a book right now called "Bariatric Mindset". Got it on Amazon and I really like it. Very helpful.

Do you have an "Aldi" near you? Their prices are way cheaper than anywhere else. They also have a Protein powder that I believe is very similar to the Unjury, about 90 calories more per serving, but actually has more protein and it's only $14 for a much larger size.

Hi Everyone!
Well, it has been about 48 hours since I came out of my RNY surgery. I am feeling really pretty good! I haven't taken anything for pain and I am able to get Water down pretty easy. I have done some walks and I seem to sleep comfortably when I need to. So far. I feel super lucky as far as recovery goes, I expected it to be much worse.
To my fellow June surgery friends- I am sending you all good thoughts in hopes that each of you do well and continue to get better every day. 💙

So I started my liquid diet today and I'm happy to say that even though it's soooo hard to see my kids eat, I'm staying focused. I keep reminding myself that I have worked my ass off for this and this is what I want.

Hi all 😊 I still need to go back and read through this all of this thread, but I just wanted to introduce myself!

I’m 24 years old, 5’2 and 245 pounds - a bit young, but I’ve been overweight all my life and have tried everything - fat camps as a child/youth, medically supervised programs, wellness retreats (basically adult fat camp lol), diet pills... I want to start living my life more fully and ward off all the health problems I’ve seen my parents struggle with for years, and VSG seemed like the most effective tool to get me there!

I actually got the call to schedule surgery this morning - VERY unexpectedly - and it’s set for next Friday, June 14th. My doc usually requires a 2 week liquid diet beforehand, but he’s going on vacay and I’m “young and healthy”, so I get to start today 😱 A tiny part of me was disappointed b/c there were things I wanted to eat before, but I actually think it’s for the best and I’m very excited to start this journey! (we’ll see if I’m still so optimistic once I’m a few days into this liquid diet 😉)

Three days down in the liquid diet. So far so good. It’s boring, no doubt about it, but I’m being a good girl and sticking to it. 12 days till surgery.

Getting ready to go to hospital. Yikes

Hello June Siblings! My RNY was yesterday. I didn’t know quite what to expect as my last surgery was 35 yrs ago. Very pleasantly surprised. The Bariatric unit staff were great no matter their role on this team.
Got home this evening around 6PM. now having my last full liquid for the day. I was given a Scopolamine patch in Pre-Op yesterday AM. Will take it off tomorrow. So far no nausea. Have been walking as prescribed. Will be glad when all the gas is gone. 🤣🤣

Happened to me as well; and low BP too. They told me it was due to anesthesia after effects and also from scopolamine patch. Good luck!

Maybe just Maybe, your Heart is filing an complaint! Sort of like " You Cut That Out!" LOL😛

mine drops after surgeries as well (not just WLS - it's always dropped after I've had a surgery - any surgery)
