My surgery was September 12 also. I’d love to have some surgery buddies!

I really love salads all kinds . Love the kale salad at chick filet wondering if I’ll ever be able to eat them again .

I have to say for myself.. it’s feels like that exactly that I ate a huge meal and I’m at the point of about to pop . I know I am not overeating because I’m measuring my food but I can’t even finish what I do have in front of me because I do get full … it’s one day at a time and lil by lil I know we will be able to listen to our new stomach

Hi,
First of all , am so happy I found this site. I think it will be more than a little helpful!
I am 62 yrs old so anyone my age that is going through or has gone through this I would appreciate any tips you could give. I am looking forward to having energy again and just being able to be healthy. This all started because I have to have my gall bladder removed and they are going to do the Bypass at the same time. I guess I am more nervous about taking all the Vitamins and the liquid portion of the diet. I am finishing up some appointments next week. I am hoping I can do an at home sleep apnea test instead of going in. I still work and wondering about how much time I will need to recover.
I have only told a few close friends and close family but I have'nt told my daughter who is an RN and not a fan of WLS. I am hoping it will not be a difficult conversation.

Thanks again for all the good information! Good luck on your journeys.

For those who have had the surgery already, what does full feel like? I'm so scared of eating/drinking too much and ruining all this hard work. I'm still taking the pain meds so I don't know if that is masking the signal but I'm not sure what I'm exactly looking for. Before surgery I don't know if I really ever felt full without it being over full. Like thanksgiving stuffed equaled full. I don't want to over stuff myself ever again but its hard to know when to stop.

I have heard great things about magnesium citrate as well and also Smooth Move tea with senna.

Did very well on the preop diet. Lost about 12#. Had my sleeve surgery on the 19th. So far so good. No pain after surgery. I however hate the phase 11 diet.

Has anyone els felt nauseous while on the liquid diet? Well my doctor called it the fatty liver liquid diet ?? Idk if that makes a difference or not .... but I've been nauseous since the night of the 19th, the day I started the diet and am still nauseous... anyone els have this issue?

Just had my surgery yesterday. Driving home now. Ouch. The gas pain is no joke but it does get better. Yesterday was a blur. Looking forward to being able to drink without pain and for this gas to go.

Just know that it’s completely normal and if you need help with the liquid diet I am pretty new but def here to help

hi everyone! newbie here.

my surgery is in two days, 9/22. the nerves have set in, and the liquid diet is stressing me a bit lol excited for the journey but full of “what ifs”

I'm on the 21st too, at 7am, day 2 of the fatty liquid diet, witch just means different liquids I guess, I'm sorry you have all the negative... but I'm here if you need a surgery buddy...

Hi September Friends! Question...I had my RNY on 9/14/22 and am doing pretty well for the most part. The only issue is that I'm still having quite a bit of pain on my left side, near the largest incision. It's not the incision that hurts, it internal. Anyone else experience pain that seems to be lingering? Or is it maybe normal?

@Mrs.Solis, doing pretty well for the most part. Thanks so much for asking!

Good luck @Garfield1987 and @JoshCanDoIt you guys got this !!!

Sept 8th I had my Gastric Bypass done … 10 days post opt and working towards getting better every day . I have my first apt with the surgeon tomorrow so I’m hoping to get some answers to questions I have . Like Vitamins and trying to get my Protein and fluids in .

@PriscillaRebekka wow that’s awesome congrats .. how are you coming along ?

Thanks for the suggestions definitely going to look into that and I’ll speak to them today at my first check up .

Good luck @Garfield1987 and @JoshCanDoIt you guys got this !!!

Surgery is tomorrow. I’m terrified. Anyone on the same boat? I hugged my kid a little bit tighter than usual and I am ready to get to bed. Congrats to all who have gone through it and good luck to the rest of us . ❤️

My surgery is tomorrow morning (Sept 20) bright and early at 5:30 am. After the first surgery date was canceled at the last minute I’m so happy this day is nearly here. Excited to start this next part of the journey!
