The way I see it is that you have to take the good with the bad. Ultimately it's all about which is the lesser of two evils. To stay at an unhealthy weight and all the complications that come along with that or to make some lifestyle changes that enable you to work with your revised plumbing. I'm still finding the balance but I've got faith that I will and that in the end, this will be a life saving and life enabling decision. I miss the guy I was 9 years ago and I'm bringing him back!

I was placing an order for some shakes on the Bariatric Advantage web site yesterday and I saw this:
"Chicken Soup flavor available to ship late November."
So if you don't like sweet shakes, it looks like they will have a solution soon. They are accepting pre-orders.

I think a lot of it depends on your starting weight and how good you were leading up to the start. I'm 8 days in right now, I don't weigh myself every day but two days ago I was down 11. In all fairness, I had at least a week of "Last Supper" syndrome and visited a few places that I won't go back to again for months (or ever) so that only inflated the loss a bit. YMMV.

I’m ok! My surgery was delayed by about 4 hours. Went in at 4:30pm and was in recovery about 7. Didn’t get to my room until almost midnight. All seemed to go ok, can’t believe I’m online so soon after. Pain was a solid 6 or 7 overnight. This am a PA came in and moved my drain - worst pain ever! I want to smack that dude. They want to bring me in for a GI test before anything else.
Onward and upward!

I'll tell you, the past two weeks were easier than I thought being on the liquid diet with some low-cal yogurt and one Proti-bar per day. However the last two days of clear liquid have officially sucked. I don't like the clear protein drink and I just feel weak and tired. On top of all that, nervous about tomorrow.
Mine is later in the day. 12:15pm, the hospital called on Friday to discuss last minute stuff and I hope it's not further delayed in the day and I'm done and through recovery with enough time to see my family. In the last week I've finally told my sister and my Mother so they want to be there now.
However I am also very encouraged. Both because I can't believe I've plowed through these last two weeks without a single mis-step and because I finally found this community. It's so nice to be here, even though I'm mostly a lurker and haven't posted much.
So, how are the rest of my November 11th brothers and sisters doing?

Congrats! Amazing that you are online just hours after...I'm encouraged by your success.

I've already come to terms with that. Although I agree that the smell may bother me in a new way...we shall see.

I wouldn’t be able to. No popcorn, no soda ☹️☹️☹️

Ok, I'm here...not having a sleeve but I suppose we're all in this together no matter what tool we end up using.

Hello All,
I'm Monday November 11th.
Revision from RNY (10 years and 1 month ago) to Long Limb Bypass RNY.
