@Kittymom@wendilin. had my surgery on Sept 14 th. No real complications or anything to make me regret it. Surgery was on a Wednesday. Went home on Saturday. For the most part it was pain free. You wake up drugged. Over next two days you drink an once or two at a time and walk You may gain weight as I did from IV. This weight comes off in next week. as you did the pre op diet just another couple weeks of liquids and your new life begins.

I hope this relieves some of your anxieties. Best of luck. s

Had a rough morning, I guess it has all hit me, that I'm having WLS tomorrow, my emotions are all over the place. I question, should I do this, I don't want to, then I do. I'm pretty sure this is normal.

I feel the same, my surgery is Wednesday. I've been able to lose 40 pounds on my own, so I'm questioning if I really need it. But then I think that I do need it, but then I worry ......hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

I had my RNY done last Monday and was discharged late Tuesday afternoon. No issues before, during or after. My bariatric team has been first rate! The doctor has been doing these procedures for years and has developed a bariatric bible for his patients to follow and refer to throughout the process. He is very thorough and conservative in his approach. Trust your bariatric team to help you get to where you've always wanted to go but we're unable to get there. Whenever I started to have a doubt, I reflected back onto a statement made by my primary doctor: "I can't remember ever treating a 300 lb 80 yearold."

I'm two days out, so I'm curious as to what has been more difficult? At this point, I'm worried much less about weight loss, and more about hydration and recovery.

Hydration for me

Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App

To get proper hydration, I've found it helpful to use Propel throughout the day. 2 bottles provide almost 38oz and 3 1 oz shots of ProSource liquid Protein (45 grams total) and 8 oz of 100% apple juice provides base of 49 oz hydration. That is supplemented by sugar-free Gelatin, sugar-free popsicles and Decaf coffee to increase the hydration level.

I'm also two days out and besides the gas pain and feeling like I've done a thousand crunches, I feel pretty good. I am definitely not looking at the scale yet, and am just focused on getting what I need in my body. Good luck to everyone! It will all be worth it!

I just got home from my first post-op followup on my Sept 19th RNY. I was given the go ahead to move to phase 2 of the post-op diet and discovered I've lost 9.2 lbs since the morning of surgery. New weight is 383. Total loss from high point of 428 is 45 pounds.

To this point it has been a matter of just putting one step in front of the other and moving forward. Wishing all a fantastic weekend

      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? 🤷‍♀️
