Hello,

i am a 44 year old male now 3-weeks post-op RNY seeking a male buddy for support.

I am having my procedure on 4-18. I'm also a 44yr male. How's things going now that it's been several weeks since your surgery?

Hi there! Thank you for responding. Things are going well, just taking it one day at a time. My first week was pretty painful and rough, but much better now. Are you having the RNY?

Yes RNY, getting nervous as my surgery approaches. It's my first surgery of any type.

Not gonna lie, it is rough the first few days but does get better each day. How's the pre-op liquid diet coming along?

I start my liquid diet tomorrow. Only three days required pre-op. That said I did have to drop 15 pounds prior to scheduling. I'm not overly concern don't with the liquid diet, I've done all liquid before without much issue. I am most concerned with staying hydrated post op.

How are progressing?

Hi there. Things have gone pretty well. I am down 47# since my Sx on 3/21/17. This past week I've had several days of nausea and vomiting so back on clear and full liquids for a few days. Almost everything makes me nauseous. How's it going for you?

Great job on the loss so far. I hope you get the vomiting resolved quickly. I'm doing pretty well so far. My surgery was 4/18 and I came home from hospital on 4/21. They wanted to keep me there an extra day since I am 2 hours from that hospital. My biggest challenge so far has been getting my fluid intake up. Yesterday I was up to 30oz and today around 40 but still a ways to go to get to the 64 they would like. Overall pain has been pretty minimal, however I did have two nights of no sleep due to severe discomfort in my back. I assume it was gas related but today has been really good. I'm really looking forward to next week when I can add yogurt, applesauce, and oatmeal to my food list too a little worried about vomiting that may come with it.

Hang in there and sip fluids. I have learned that if I am nauseous, I need to stop eating and let my tummy rest. I feel much better these past few days.

How are things going? I am starting to feel somewhat normal, although still a bit fatigued. Down 56lbs so far so I'm excited about that.

Hi there. Congrats! How many weeks post-op are you? Things are going ok. Still get quite nauseated and have vomiting but can't pin point when or what triggers it. I'm down 60 pounds and am going on 9 weeks. I only have 15 pounds more to goal. I'm still fatigued as well. I'm hoping it will get better. Where do you live? I'm in CA.

I'm six weeks post. It's great you're so close to goal. My goal is another 90lbs away. I've been fortunate not to have much nausea and I haven't vomited yet. Just starting to add in more foods so I know it will happen. I'm in Va.
