Hello, I'm a newbie!



Recommended Posts

Hello!

I just joined this forum yesterday and am excited to learn more about everyone's experiences.

I just had RNY this past Monday. It was a rough couple of days at the hospital, but thankfully I was released Wednesday afternoon. I started on full liquids today and feel so much better compared to the past couple of days. However, I am craving so many things! It's so difficult!

On a different note...

My right eye has been twitching for a couple of days and was wondering if it could be surgery related and/or if anyone else has had the same thing happen to them?

Hi! I had lapband to RNY yesterday! I'm 26 at 5'10 240lb. Your eye twitching is most likely due to you being tired, try to get some rest. Are you able to do any liquids or just clear?

I had RNY 10/13 and three fingers on my right hand were numb for two months then all of a sudden they were fine. Lol. Looking forward to seeing your journey. I started at 409 and am now 148. My surgeon said I'm at goal! ????

Congrats! My RNY was on 07/29/15. Best decision ever! Each day will get better. I didn't experience the twitching so I can't help with that. Wishing you the best of luck!

Thank you for the kind replies!

I am able to drink Clear Liquids. I haven't been able to drink crystal light because it's just so sweet, but it might balance out the bitterness of my morning cream of wheat Breakfast.

As far as rest goes, I sleep well at night, but maybe not resting the way I should. Congrats on reaching your goal! I can't wait to get there!

You all are such an inspiration! :)

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
