  1. Thank u all for taking the time to reply it was a major concern for me and I love your facts. Thank you!! ❤️?
  2. If not dumping then do I need to go to hospital? Is this life threatening?
  3. I had rny 2 weeks ago and I think I’m going through dumping syndrome. I think I ate too fast and had a sip of water. I ate ricotta bake. Can y’all please tell me what your experience is like? Mine is stomach feels like Charlie horse cramp in my stomach followed with cold chills. This is happening every few minutes. Then I feel nauseated and want to puke but I’m dry heaving. Any ideas or facts how to make this feel better should I be drinking water during this?? I don’t know. And it’s lasted 1 hour and a half. Help plz.
  4. I’m 9 days post op and have lost 13 pounds this week. It’s been crazy. I’m doing loads better now surgery wise but my back decided to give me issues now so I’ve been down and out bc of that. I’m now on soft foods. Everything so far seems to be great. I wanted to add my sugar levels have been really high still so dr is telling me to take metformin still. Today my sugars are finally seeing low so doc said I can go off meds once there normal.
  5. Exactly totally agree with this comment! We’re all in this together ❤️ no need to differentiate.
  6. 6 days post op and still haven’t pooped. Anyone help plz???? Is this ok? When u have one finally does it hurt? I just took myralax to help. I had rny done and I’m still in a lot of pain from my left insicion site. So hard to push out.
  7. Would it be a good idea to wear a compression belt? I have big staples.
  8. Aliyah many blessings to you and speedy recovery as well. Cheers to our new journey! ?????
  9. Tomorrow morning at 7am is the big day ??
  10. Preop testing tomorrow (go fig I have a sore throat) then next wed is surgery! Happy to hear about everyone who had or will be having surgery. Been praying for y’all!
  11. Darcie that’s great love!! We have the same goals. ? blessings to you!
  12. Ty so much for this!! I’ll be having my surgery in 20 more days and it was great seeing this post!!
  13. Thanks for the reply’s everyone. But it’s more curiosity than anything. I see a lot of shorter people on here and not really height testimonies. I know everyone is different and their bodies and using your tool as best as possible with eating right and exercise. I’m new to all this .. scared but determined. Just nice and encouraging to here EVERYONES testimony about there weight loss esp in height bc I am a tall obese woman.
  14. Curious to see how much weight y’all lost at 3-4 months???? ?
  15. I’m counting down the days…36 left to be exact. Ready to get it over with and begin the newness of it all.. which scares me of taking care of myself better and not knowing what to expect afterwards. Knowing people have gone before me helps out a lot and knowing people have not regret it also helps!
  16. I love dr. V!! I haven’t had surgery yet (june30)but I’ve been watching also reset your pouch protein shakes/ videos dr. Wiener is another good one to watch. Take it back to the basics and imagine u just first having surgery and your in honey moon phase and drink protein shakes maybe some walking for exercise.
  17. Ty for answering this I think I’m more scared of routine afterwards. Maybe bc I’m brain farting or not knowing what to expect of the unknown. My usual job is working warehouse so I’m not sure how that’s going to go or maybe switch to doing a different job. My surgery date is June 30th or possibly sooner now that I got insurance approval today.
  18. When did y’all get back to work after surgery ??and what was it like for the eating schedule when u have only (2) 15 min breaks and a 30 min lunch?
  19. @dani I too am scheduled for the 30th
  20. Not only that think about those inches falling off rather than the numbers on the scale. ?
  21. @shoppgirl ty so much! ?
  22. I’ve heard people buy the baby food and for extra protein, mix unflavored protein powder in it.
