I'm going in September 5th. At first it all seemed to take forever, pre surgery clearances, nutritionist meetings and now it's speeding up fast.

What a journey this is. Half the people think I am crazy and the other half think I am brave.

1 more day of liquid diet tomorrow and 1 day of Clear Liquids on Wednesday and the next day, Thursday 9/5, is my surgery. Almost don't believe it. It's been a long process. Can't wait til it's over and the first few weeks go by. I have a cruise NOV 1 to look forward to at least.

Had surgery on 9/4 and I feel great! I have not had any side effects, (no nausea, vomiting, very minimal pain) since I have been home I have not even taken any Tylenol or pain meds). The only thing that has been a problem is I have very little endurance, I tried to walk for about 15 minutes yesterday and it wiped me out. I almost forgot, no one warned me that they would be putting in a catheter! That was quite a surprise when I woke up! Once they took it out, it was pretty painful urinating for a few days. Honestly, that was the worst part of the entire surgery!

The clear liquid diet is not the most fun in the world but certainly doable. I have been alternating between beef broth and chicken broth for meals and a variety of diet Snapple flavors and crystal light and of course Water.

Good Luck all September RNY's! Keep up the great work!

HW: 385, Surgery day weight: 347, Current Weight:??? (Going to wait until my 2-week follow-up to get the good news)

I had my surgery on September 4th and came home September 6th. I am feeling good except having a hard time getting enough Water in. But I'm going to keep trying.

surgery went great on 9/5. I had almost the same experience as everyone else but a little more discomfort with extra gas in my abdominal cavity. The first day home, 9/7, the liquids were very hard to get in but today, 9/8, was easier. I am just taking 2 pain pills today for a little bit of ache type pain in my midsection. The walking has been fine. I feel my best when I walk but it does tire me out fast.

Congratulations everyone!!!! I am just so glad it's over and I am on my way. :D

My surgey was yesterday. Went well! Hiatal (sp) hernia repaired too. Clear liquids today. No more IV fluids as my intake is good and output good too.small pain, easily managed. Walking worked to get rid of gas pain, and I can feel air rolling around in my tummy! No doubt I will be passing gas soon, sorry if tmi. Nurses are very helpful and encouraging. Hooray, hoping to go home tomorrow or Friday.

Great news!!! :)

The gas can take a few days but everyone is different. I came home Saturday and the gas did not fully leave until about yesterday, Tuesday. I did a lot of walking, some gas-x and a hot pad helped. Just remember every day it gets better and better.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
