Hi everyone.

I am sort of new to this forum. I am still trying to figure it out. I had my rny surgery on June 6 th. I must say that I do not feel great. I feel bloated all the time. The Protein shakes are not good. I need to call my weight center today 6/11 to talk to them about this. I have not had a bowel movement since before my surgery. Not sure if that is normal since I am not eating real food. I have no energy although I did take a two mile walk yesterday that felt good, I then tried to drink my carnation instant Breakfast and since then have just felt gross. I love when I sleep as I don't feel the discomfort, but as you can see its now 4am and I am typing this:-(. I really need help and need to know what other people are eating on their stage 3 liquid diet? Any help would be so appreciated. I bought some Boost drink and it's gross.

I can't wait to feel normal again

I like the Atkins strawberry banana shake. It's really good and it has 15 grams.

I wish I had smaller clothes for you....I haven't had the surgery yet. But...it may be something we massachusetts folks want to do as a group at some point. :)

Hi everyone! Having my surgery tomorrow at Newton- Wellesley with Dr. Partridge. So excited but a little nervous about dealing with the recovery and three small children. Tonight will be tough as I drop them off with grandparents. They wiling well cared for and have fun on their "vacation" but I will miss them!

Thinking about inexpensive transition clothes. Anyone checked out Savers or Goodwill in Framingham?

I'll be going there too!

Hi I'm from Ma I had my surgery at Tufts Medical in Boston. I am 6 yrs out and wanted to go to meetings in the area. I tried to go to Tobey's and they said I could not join their groups because I did not have the surgery there..... So I have started my own. I have taken a leadership program from Obesity Help and I have meetings at the Sr Citezen Center in Fairhaven Ma We are on break until September. We meet the second Saturday of the month at 9:30. Right now we are a small group but we are there helping each other. Support groups are very important from the get go. All are welcome. If interested please let me know.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
