Congratulations I had my revision from sleeve to gastric bypass on September 04, 2015. You will love the GB much better than the lapband.

I also had the RNY on December 1. I don't live in your area but we can compare notes!

Hi there. I also had RNY done on Dec 1st. I live in TX, but would love to have an online support system. Have just started on soft proteins...cottage cheese, mashed up black beans, fat free string cheese, and my protein shakes are all going down very well. I'm not having any issues with liquids at all. I find if I take my time, I can pretty much drink all my shakes and water. The weight game has always been such an emotional deal for me. I'm down 14 lbs since surgery date on the 1st. That's averaging about a pound a day. Start weight was 226. Wondering if I'm just being too hard on myself because I read so many others that lose twice as much within the first 2 weeks. Thoughts?

@@Lisee45 You're doing great! I had my RNY on Dec 1, too. I lost some in the pre-surgery diet and all in all, i'm down 24 pounds. It's like a pound a day for me now, too. I lost more in the beginning, which makes sense. But I have a lot more to lose than you do, too.And like I said, that includes ten days pre-surgery, all the way to today.

I'm still on full liquids (creamed Soups, yogurt etc) but move to pureed on Dec 23 and can start having even more choices. It's so exciting, like "Christmas!" hahahahaha...

I also have had no problems with eating or drinking, so far.

Good luck!

Hi - I had the exact same surgery (band to bypass) on the 7th so we are a week apart! I also live in California, near Sacramento! I'd be happy to have a friend in this journey!

I hope you are feeling well!

at bugsy72...thank you for the reply! I guess I should feel fortunate that I can literally "stomach" what I am supposed to be eating just fine. Congrats on your weight loss. This should be a wonderful journey! Good luck!
