Thoughts and prayers for one and all. I had my RNY on Monday the 19th and am home doing remarkably well. My new mantra is walk-sip-walk-sip... I suggest you keep on top of pain management and follow post-op schedule as strictly as you did the pre-op liquid diet. The toughest part for me is the 1oz of clear liquid every 15 minutes (48+ oz in the day). I am using ProSource berry Liquid Protein for 3 1oz Protein Shots throughout the day and doing my 30 minutes of walking in 3 10-minute sections in different day parts. Keep a pillow handy to cover your stomach with for coughing up post-op "guck". Feel free to reach out if you need someone to chat with in the days and months ahead.

Well the day is quickly approaching, 26th am I ready? Yes, I just want to get it done and start the rest of my new life. Still not nervous not scared, not excited. Prepo. Diet has not been too bad, some days I'm a little hungry. Just drink more Water. Just need to get thru Friday Saturday and Sunday.... I've got this!

I just got my business day-before scheduling confirmation call - all set for Monday morning at 8:15. I have to be there at 6am, which sucks, but I'm just ready to move on to the next step.

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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
