May 2014 RNY/Bypass Post Op Support Group

Hi May buddies!!! We made to the other side of the losers bench. Congratulations.

My surgery was May 5 and I came home yesterday. I still have quite a bit of gas inside, but that's making it's out and I'm pretty sore where the incisions are.

My question is....is anyone exhausted? I seem to be able to stay a wake for maybe an hour and then I have to lie down. It's not giving me a whole lotta time to get all my food, Water and Vitamins in. Any suggesstions?

Hi everyone I had my RNY on May 19, doing great so far 88 pounds left until my idea eight, I am 4 months post out and will be 5 months on 10/19/14 I still can't tolerate eggs , cheese or dairy and work out 5 days a week during aerobics.

Hi great job cupcake! I have 26 pounds left until I am a normal bmi of 22. :) love my bypass. I can't tolerate fats, alcohol, more than 10 g of sugar at a time, processed and fried foods.. I pretty much can only eat healthy foods which is awesome!

Allielee Thanks and congrats on your weight lose as well keep up the great work.

Hi everybody I am so glad you posted back on this thread. I had surgery May 5th and I'm down 77 pounds. I have 23 more to go. I never dreamed I would be at this stage yet. I am a size 10 now started as an 18. I was wondering do any of you have tummy tenderness from time to time? The only thing I really struggle with is constipation. But hopefully as I add more foods that will improve. Still doing miralax and Metamucil...I do have a lazy bowel. One really neat thing. I was able to mentor my best friend and she just had her RNY. She did have melena...old rectal blood come out but it stopped. I'm afraid she is going to push it to fast but I hope she listens to her body.

I will be having my 6 month post op on a few weeks and praying that all my numbers and counts are good.

I had my surgery May 19/2014 and I am doing great , congrats to everyone on being healthy.

So glad you are doing great cupcake!!! I hit my normal bmi so trying to maintain and not lose much more.

Hi guys this is angelface. I am so glad to hear from you guys. My surgery was also May 5th, 2014. I have been doing great! I have already hit my doctor's goal (100 pound loss) and am currently working on my personal goal (11 pounds to go). I am trying to increase my muscle mass as well. I have been very involved with the Bariatric Center (university) I had surgery at. I love encouraging and supporting others. No deficiencies at all bloodwork looks great. Co-morbidities gone!
