Yes it is hard to tell who had what surgery, most important thing to do that I learned in my pre-op class is filter, filter everything you read or hear from others and try to remember what is specific to your surgery. At the beginning of my journey my doctors office gave us a handbook with do and don'ts to our specific surgery. What we can have at each stage and foods to avoid. I had RNY with the silastic ring. My stage one was clear liquid no red liquid from day 1 thru 7. Stage 2 day 8-14 full liquids including puréed. Stage 3 day15-31 soft foods small bites. Chew everything 20-30 times. But foods I was told to avoid that can either stretch your pouch or make you gassy I see a lot of people having, like beans, mash potatoes, hot cereal. I was given a guide of watch labels nothing over 10 grams of carbs or sugar. No broccoli, cauliflower, onions, and pineapple, citrus. For the first six months. Or until losing 70% of excess weight. Most all veterans I know have told me not to get discouraged with the stalls or plateau, they all went through them. Good luck to everyone. Did anyone have the Da Vinci robotic surgery? I had it I was the second person to have it done by my surgeon, I didn't have hardly any pain or gas feeling after surgery. My recovery has been great. But at my post-op class I met the person who was his first patient and she was miserable saying she regretted having the surgery done.

My surgery was March 3 also.

I felt so good today went for a walk, put new flags and solar light on flag pole and started water sealing the deck... Man I'm feeling it now, I'm pooped!!! I'll pay dearly tomorrow, probably. Supposed to be 75 here tomorrow time to lay out and start soaking up the rays!!! Got my chair and cushion out ready to bake.

Hi all! New to group!! I had my surgery on March 17! I'm having a really hard time mentally. It's like as soon as I start eating I'm full and I want to keep eating. I have a family and I have to smell the things their cooking so that is hard too. Wednesday I get to start eatting some real food (meats, lunch meats, veggies) so I am hoping this helps some. I am so tired of the protein shakes as I read from a lot of other members. I use unjury and ever since surgery it just seems so sweet to me, anyone else have this problem?? But good news is it's been 12 days and I'm down 20lbs! It doesn't feel like it to me yet still sore but trying take it one day at a time!!
