Hey everyone.... Just discovered this app!! I'm 18 days post op, full gastric bypass... and boy am I having a rocky beginning ... barely able to "eat" anything... Still on stage 2 for a couple more days and I'm so tired of all the sweet shizzz ... I've been sticking to pudding and sweet protein shakes.... Can't wait for stage 3!!!!!!!! My surgery was rough... Spent 5 days in ICU, 4 blood transfusions and my tummy was giant bruise.... Needless to say I live every day in fear of my complications.... But the name of the game is POSITIVE THOUGHTS!!! .... Happy to have found this board... I joined another one but i like that I'm able to do this from my phone!!!! Look forward to jumping right into the convos now!!!!

Hope u start feeling better soon

Hi there! Sorry to hear your surgery was so rough....that's awful! I hope your doing better now. Good luck =)

Thank you!!!! :-) Despite the rocky road I'm cruising on now, I try to stay positive and focused!!! :-)

Welcome to the group.. 4 blood transfusion. OMG!! I hope it doesn't happen to me. I had one blood transfusion when I gave birth,but if it happens it's ok. I'm a positive person,and I believe everything happens for a reason.

Hope your doing much better now. Sorry to hear you had so much trouble.

Thanks!!!! & mami, my experience isn't common ... Have no fear!! Just drink plenty of water before!

I thought the day of surgery your no suppose to drink water. I'm suppose to only drink liquid all day then after 12am no drinking at all.

Yes, I mean prior to your cut off

Oh ok LMFAO I thought I missed something. Oh yes I'm drinking plenty of water. Never drank so much water in my 32 years lolz..

Glad your doing better. That's the only way to be is positive.

Hope you feel better soon!

LOVE your attitude. I truly believe that so much of RNY and really health in general is attitude. When you can stay positive in spite of the rough start you had - nothing can stop you. You're gonna love the new you!!
