Hey all! I looked around and couldn't find anything for June surgeries. I don't have my exact date yet, but it will be the 1st or 2nd week of June!! Sooo excited!! I had my lap band out on April 18th and they were supposed to do the bypass, but they weren't able to due to scar tissue. I saw my surgeon today and all should be a go for June! Yay!!!! RNY here I come!!!

For those that have had the surgery so far' date=' are you already noticing a change in how your clothes fit you?[/quote']

Yes. What I was wearing is too big but a size smaller is just barely too small. I'm two weeks post op.

It moved!!!!!!! 2lbs!!!! I think I just heard angels sing. Lol

Super Congrats Jeepchick. I understand the frustration of getting stuck so soon. I'm 2 weeks out and down 13 lbs and I've been stuck for days. I had my post op visit and talk to the nut and she said I'm simply not getting in enough calories. I'm trying hard but man some days are better than others. I know I need to up my protein and get in more calories but most days I'm hitting maybe 50 on protein and 400 calories. Argh! I never thought I would simply just not be interested in food to the point that I forget about eating until someone reminds me.

Tomorrow is the day. Have to be at hospital at 7am :-) getting butterflies now but still super excited

Yay! Yay! I am so happy for you! I thought I heard something singing in the sir! Hopefully, mine moves tomorrow.

Heard from the hospital and i have to be there at 530am tomorrow. It's finally sinking in, yay!

Well, my summer break has officially started! yay! Tomorrow I will make my shopping list and get shopping!

Had surgery on Monday and home now. Surgery went great and now trying to figure out how I'm supposed to drink 64oz of water and 4 protein shakes. I'm loving being on part two of this life changing journey!

Surgery went great! I've been doing well. The staff is impressed. I don't have a drain tube so I have vomited blood twice but feel better!

I have walked 6 laps and drank almost a 20ounce g2 in 12 hours which is slow but with all my nausea it is great.

I will update later. Once again Thank you for ALL the prayer!

Today is my pre op...nervous!!! Up doing a last chase workout...wish me luck!!!

Sip By Sip.....Take your time and "TRY" to get in all of you fluids and protien. while this is very important it may take you a day os too to get into the groove. be patient....this is s learning process

im 8 days post-op and just learned last night that since the nerves in your pouch are not really active "yet"..... a good indicator of fullness is belching.

just measure out your shakes, water etc. and just a sip or two then wait. my surgeon has in my pre op book i should be able to intake 6 oz of water per hour if i sip it.....check with you instructions/surgeon for their expectations....

good luck. keep us posted.
