Anyone having surgery in Oct ?

I'm having my surgery Oct 5th my per op class is Sept 23rd. I'm getting super excited only thing that worries me is missing classes I just enrolled into two classes and they start the 14th I'll be missing 3 classes plus a whole week of surgery. Hoping my teachers will be okay and let me work it out so I don't fall behind or get knocked for missing class.

I'm having a rough time with this post op liquid diet. On top of me being nauseous all the time nothing that I can have sounds appealing so I sometimes just don't eat, which I know is wrong. I am getting all my water in and taking all my vitamins. I'm basically just counting down the days until puréed foods. Sigh.

Been out, lots of gas pain. But I'm doing good with walking and water

I'm also having extreme problems getting sips in. Feels so tight and causes LOUD tummy and intestine rumbles. Thank goodness I don't have to be in public.

Also scared of being undernourished and dehydrated.

Luckily all of you do better each day.

Hey y'all. I'm home and doing okay. Sore and gassy, but alive and well. I'm happy.

I'm off my diabetic meds and my blood pressure meds. If everything stays as it is now, I'll stay off of them. Going back for my follow up on Nov. 9th.

Ugh...super super super bad day...work was horrible...hurting tonight. ..not getting my protein and water in. Scared to death I am going to end up malnourished and dehydrated. Hormones all over the place...could cry on command...just needed to vent...love you guys...going to bed

Hey everyone I had my 3 week follow up today, my surgeon was so happy with my numbers today. I have lost 20 pounds since my surgery date and finally had my staples removed (ouch). Incision sites are a little sore but he says I'm healing beautifully. I was bummed out when I seen I had only lost 20 pounds but seeing how happy the surgeon was made me rethink my mentality. My husband says I'm too hard on myself. Maybe I am. All I know is I'm happy if the surgeon is happy. Only bad part about the appt was I'm still in the liquid phase for another 2 weeks but after today I know if I can do it for 3 weeks, I can do another 2.

Hope everyone is having a wonderful day, and for anyone who had a follow up today I hope it was great!

You are doing great with your weight loss!!!! Much better than I!!! I think your husband is right!!! besides I think a constant even loosing is best. I had a great day today!! Was able to walk farther & not as tired or a head ache! You go girl!!

I had RNY on 10/20, and I was hoping my belly swelling would have been better by now. I'm passing gas okay, but I look like I'm 6 months pregnant. LOL. I have my 2-week follow up next Weds. Is it common to still look bloated?

I had my RNY the 21st and although the swelling has subsided some I am still swollen too.

Just wanted to say a big thank you to everyone for the sweet comments. It was a much better day today. I was able to get in almost 40 ounces of water and 42 grams of protein . I know this is still not goal but it is soooo much better then I have been doing! The encouragement from this group helps me each and every day!
