So excited and nervous! Is anyone else having surgery on my date? I would like us all in one thread to give our own experiences. It'll be great! We will all be in pain at the same time. [emoji1]

I'm in the waiting room now, waiting to be called. I'll fill you guys in, in about an hour or two.

I get really sharp pains on my left side. My surgeon said it was the nerves healing.

one step at a time, one sip at a time, one pound at a time.

Yey, my doctor said everything is fine and I am doing great! He said I've lost 11 pounds since surgery. So I guess that means my weight was recorded for after surgery when I weighed 3.8 pounds more. I'll say surgery weight was 234 from now on.

He started me on phase 3. In a month, he said most likely I'll begin phase 4. I'm so nervous about starting phase 3. Is anyone else on phase 3 already? What are you eating? I need to look through my notes. He okayed cottage cheese, but do I have to blend it first? I forgot to ask.

20.2lbs from my start weight!

My doctor doesn't even start me on phase 1 till 2 weeks out (Monday)! I'm still on liquids, although I have tried some pudding and some scrambled egg and it set pretty well. Good luck steppin' up!

I don't start phase 3 for 5 more days. The list that they gave for when I do reach it though includes: hummus, refried Beans, cottage cheese, ricotta cheese, beans, peas, eggs, chicken, tuna. Everything has to be pureed though.

I have successfully eaten 1/4 cup of mashed potatoes. It took me an hour. IT WAS SO GOOD!

I am so jealous! I have another week before I can start eating sod food. I am looking forward to cottage cheese. I have been back at work and feel a little weak but not terrible. Someone brought in Krispy Creme doughnuts. It was easier than I thought to not want to eat one! I was shocked.

Yummmm, mashed potatoes does sound good, but I don't think that is on my diet for a long time....what I'm craving most is Pasta, that has always been my downfall!

My doctor told me it was just gas and moving around more will help.

I'm no doctor but, I do know my body. The night before, when I had the pain, I slept on my side.. but the last two nights, I slept on my back. No chest pain at all! What I think happened, my wounds from inside are still tender and when I slept on my side, maybe I put too much pressure on it (I'm not skinny yet hehehe) which caused it to hurt and feel sore. Also, I bought a real tight sports bra that is giving the girls some very good support. So that is something else keeping the pressure off my chest.

Again, I'm just guessing because I know my body. I know what gas feels like and this wasn't gas.

I'm May 26th... Feeling much better today. feelings are still on the over the place. Start weight 227 surgery date was 183. I got the RNY

I am waiting on a call from my surgeon this pain is unbearable even taking a deep breath hurts haven't been able to drink or eat anything if I walk too much I get lightheaded
