That sounds great! At my post-op visit yesterday, I was not released from weight restriction and could start walking. I took a trip to Walmart that Sunday after I had surgery and was plumb wore out and was hurting but haven't had any issues since. I have been pooping since I have gotten home but it has started to become formed and asked doctor about taking Miralax and was told as long as I am going I am okay and as long as I am not straining to go! Hoping my next visit I am released from any other restrictions due to I am ready to adventure out more! I am feeling good! Wishing you a speedy recovery!

Hello Everyone,
Had my post-op visit (first one) yesterday 9 days post-op. Surgery for RNY was December 10th. I was told I lost on my 14 day liver shrinking diet 10 lbs more pounds but my weight was at 254 today, I was so upset! That is like two pounds more than my last weigh in at the doctor's office! The doctor told me not to be alarmed that I was still swollen from the surgery and my legs were swollen as well and he was not concerned about it! It still bothered me, My scales showed a total of 248 but either way, I got home and programmed my scales to theirs and I have another follow-up appointment for January 8th. My rings are loose as well as my clothing feels looser so I truly believe I am and I say, I am on the losing side but got a bit discouraged when I am doing exactly what they have instructed on the full liquid diet! Merry Christmas to me because on Christmas day, I advance to the pureed stage of my diet! WoooooHoooo! Anyone else have this happen to them post-surgery and if so what was your response as well to the news?

Hello from the other side....
Woke up from surgery around 3pm, slept off and on until 6pm, and now I'm chilling in my room watching Survivor! LOL!!
Pain level is 3-4, but don't know if it's just the IV pain meds talking. A little pain increase when getting and out of bed, but doing pretty good with standing/walking.
Dry mouth is no fun, but I've been sucking on my ice chips. Can't wait for Clear Liquids tomorrow!
Will keep checking in to see how everyone else is doing!

So, I don't really ever cheat. Aside from a few mozzarella sticks, I've stuck to the plan. Yes, I've gotten dumping A LOT because stuff on the "plan" isn't always Kosher for my particular tummy.
But today. Today I set myself for failure on purpose. I ate a shortbread cookie, a ferrero rocher, and a cordial cherry. At the same time. Yes. The epitome of all that is sugar and anti-WLS. I warned my coworkers that in 20 minutes I would be dying. I knew it would happen. I did it anyway.
It only took 10 minutes. I spent half an hour in the work bathroom foaming and dry-heaving. I dry-heaved so much snot up my nose started to bleed... profusely. I was hot. I had heart palpitations. I couldn't speak for an hour.
It wasn't worth it. LOL. But damn the "normies" have it good being able to enjoy those treats without weight issues or dying in workplace restrooms.
And no. No plans for a repeat ever again. So that's my contribution to the cheat thread. Except this cheat was a big one with consequences of suffering. lol.
Don't cheat, kids.

Congrats and speedy recovery!

That is what I have done. I have a Walmart neighborhood market close by. I go online to place my order and husband goes to pick it up.

@Losingit2018, yes we got this with the help of our Bariatricpal family, I will take it easy and let my hubby or family do the shopping without me until I get better!

Had surgery Dec. 10th RNY, today I decided to go to Walmart and pick up a small mixer that puree food as well, my daughter pushed the buggy and loaded items into cart but I was plum wore out once we got home, I am talking all Vitamins without difficulty and on full liquid diet, getting in 3 Unjury Protein Shakes a day, 1 1/2 8oz cups of chicken broth a day! Should I be doing anything different or just slow my roll? Had to take a couple Aleve!

Thank you so much!

Oh my goodness surgery went, my surgeon came in and prayed for us and was so kind and am a little sore but other than that feeling fine. Waiting now to be discharged and yes I have been walking, walking and walking! broth, Protein Drink, sugar free popsicles, Decaf coffee and tea! First day I was nauseated but feel fine now!

@shrinkingkris, I had my surgery Dec. 10th and I too was very nauseous, Did not receive any thing to drink or eat the day of my surgery but the next day received the broth, Decaf tea/coffee, sf popsicles, apple juice and a Bariatric Advantage fruit punch Protein Drink. Only when I got home yesterday I took the gas x and what a relief it was. I am feeling pretty good but have just a little pressure in my chest area. Have not had pain medication since first night of surgery. I hope all goes well with you! Get you some rest!

My program is not until post op visit and doctor clears me!

I will keep you posted, it was listed on my clear liquid diet! I am not drinking anymore of it tonight!

Thank you so much for your response @Losingit2018 I am going to drink a few bottles of Water and see what happens and then give a call if not clear, I was almost clear until I started drinking the soup! Thank you again!

@JanLPhun, we are surgery twins, same here, today I made a visit with my daughter I hadnt seen in quite a while due to her being incarcerated they had a party for the families and yes I ate, I have been on my liver shrinking diet 21 days just because I wanted to see how disciplined I could be but today yes I failed horribly but started right back once I got home! I thought of everything I wont be aloud to eat anymore and ate what they served which was chick fa la sandwich which I only ate the chicken no bread, no cookie, no chips and drank diet lipton green tea,they had also served us for Breakfast we had these sausage links wrapped with croissants I had 2 of those. I feel so guilty but made sure, I didnt go overboard! I am so ready for this new journey of not hurting, feeling socially unacceptable because of my weight and to just be healthier!

Only a couple more days til surgery, been on my liver reduction diet for 14 days now I started early, going well but I’m more aware of everyone’s conversations when they talk food and it annoys me so I tend to leave the room. Don’t know how my family is gonna be able to survive the next month, as I’m the cook in the house and these last 2 weeks have been a struggle for them as I’ve made easier meals and things I don’t really like but they do for them just to get out of the kitchen so that I wouldn’t be tempted. I have informed them that I needed their support in this and they may have to fend for themselves. It’s not like the 2 freezers aren’t full and the refrigerator isn’t stocked. Cupboards are full too. Just don’t burn down my house, or ruin my cooking equipment. LOL

That and the 8 incision trocar ports cut into me lol

That would make my stomach hurt as well!

Day before my surgery during the pre admit after 1 1/2 hr with the RN going over EVERYTHING the finance guy pops in and says my insurance approvel statis is still pending and needed to cancel or fork over 40K. I ended up zipping over to the surgeon office and got a copy of the approval letter then back to the Hospital . Now sitting here in stomache pain ...
