This space is dedicated to all the “Magnificent March 2013” people that have decided to make major changes in their lives. This is the space to celebrate our NEW LIFE together!

I had my surgery yesterday and doing well so far. I do not have much pain until I get out of bed and today I was able to go full liquids today. No nausea. Did get dizzy a bit today but I think it was because I over did it showering so they had to wheel me back to my room. Doing fine now.

There must be something wrong with my doctor. I only get 2 days of liquid. Then its pureed for for 2 weeks then 6 weeks of soft foods. I don't even see him until a month after surgery.

He is not crazy i get the same with the exception my soft stage is two months. But i do see my doc two weeks after surgery.

I'm on day 1 of liquids -- what a rough day-- thank goodness for popsicles and jello and green tea- decaf I'm slowly working on just getting past this OMG I'm so hungry filling -- nothing's filling me up

Day 3 post RNY. I've managed to get down 360 mls clear liquids more during the night. Still have some nausea, haven't passed gas but I can feel it rumbling in there! The abdominal pain is brutal, though. ESP the left side. My surgeon said they had to clean up a lot of adhesions while they were i there so maybe that's why I still have such pain. I'm afraid to advance the diet for fear I'll vomit, which would be excruciating. I keep thinking just get through this week & things will get better.

I'm on day one of clear liquids also. I loved jello before, now the jello and broth just taste icky and I can't handle it. I can drink the heck out of some decaf tea and water though. Hang in there. I think that being hungry thing will improve. I'm glad I haven't had that so far. I'm thinking about you and wishing you a speedy recovery.

Thank you so much -- I think some of this is me living with family n smelling everything driving me wild knowing I simply can not have it :x --

Did my measurements today: so far 27 days ago I'm down only 5 pounds but I've lost 22 1/2" all across my body- I can feel a little bit of the difference, but the biggest part is seeing it on paper - I'm going to do it again the DOS and then with each doc visit

That left side hurts for a while....mine still bothers me over a week later...BUT it's very manageable and you just have to be careful. Icing it really helps...I used that in the hospital and it made a significant difference...

Hello all, finally on the losers bench... will post more when I feel better... hope everyone is doing great

Thanks for checking in!!!! Hope your better soon!

It finally happened. I cried. I keep telling myself no regrets...no regrets....but dang it sometimes a girl just wants to be able to eat fried chicken and fart. Ughh...sorry about that visual. I suppose this horrendous left sided belly pain will be around a few more days. Any advice getting through "hell week"?

I'm not sure i have any exact advice for hell week, but on day 4 I had almost a night and day change for the better. I'm day 6 right now, and feel great- a little weak and shaky maybe from lack of food, but otherwise good!!

The pain meds I was given didn't really help, but the anti-inflammatories did a smidgen of help. For the gas and bloating, I'm downing gas x and papaya enzymes. Seems to be helping a lil with that. Good luck!!!

I had my surgery on March 4th can you add me to this thread.

For my friends farther out: how long does the back and shoulder pain last? My abdomen is not sore, I am not really nauseous, but my back is killing me. Any tips or tricks?

HEATING PAD, HEATING PAD, HEATING PAD!! This has probably been the biggest lifesaver so far- my back was killing me- for days, but almost instant relief with that. I used it often and I can't even tell you how much it helped!
