Hi all - I had RNY on 2/23 and would love to connect with some of you. I have told a few friends and family members about my decision to have WLS but am not sure anyone can really understand this path without walking it.

Would love to connect! Also, how do I post a "profile picture?" ????

Hello honey bun ???? I too had the RNY done on 2/23 unfortunately due to the bad gas pains I didnt come home until thursday/yesterday. I have also only told a few family members about my procedure. I basically told my circle of support. The ones I knew would cheer me on and motivate me. I still have yet to put up a profile pic I think I will tonight. Anyways how are you feeling?

Click the 3 lines at the top left next to timeline. Then click on the icon of the person at the right top hand. Then just hit the picture symbol below your blank profile pic and go from there.

For some reason I don't have the "person" icon - maybe I need to be on my computer vs. phone? Thanks for trying to help!

I feel pretty good now - walking around and one gas x chewable per day has made all the difference - that gas pain was rough! It still sort of feels like I swallowed a big glob of Peanut Butter - not sure if it's because I am full or if that's still some gas working that's trapped. Definitely going to take some time to learn what is what in there!

I did it from my phone but I notice you have to keep pressing that menu area at the top and the timeline. And yes that gas pain is the worse I have been passing since thursday. Make you wonder how much was put in us. I have that same fweling and still trying to figure it out. Those gas x pills are magic Lol

Hello Ladies. I had my bypass done on 1/26/15. I am down almost 30lbs but it has been a hard road for me emotionally. I feel like I will never be myself again. My emotions and hormones are all over the place. I told people of my decision mostly after I already had it done. I did this for me. To make myself healthier for myself, my children and my grandchildren. I am 45 years old and I have alot of living left to do! lol

I know thats right, good for you! A decision loke this is not easy to tell everyone. We live in such a judgemental word. Sometimes its best to tell a few instead of a million Lol. As of now I feel nothing but pain Lol. No emotions or hormones just yet

Jean Marie - hold on to the positive and beautiful part of what you said - you have a lot of life left to live and people who love you, and need you. It is a hard road but we can help support each other through it. 30lbs is fantastic!

Ditto - feeling better than I thought I would but definitely still have some pain - it's all up in my chest after I drink especially, and I can't tell if I'm full or if it's gas. I guess I'll figure it out one of these days!

Oh interesting, good to know! I thought that could be it but it's so high up I was doubting myself.

That's scary! How much were you drinking each day? I am struggling to get in more than 30 oz.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
