So I have a (likely) surgery date of December 13th, pending insurance approval. Any other people having a gastric bypass in December and want to be buddies? I hope we can keep this thread going as we prepare for surgery, and after!

Surgery TOMORROW! Looking for a Surgery Twin! Preferably RNY like me! <3

And I will send you good vibes! So many post from us RNYers so nervous the day before, then relieved the day after, then delighted as the struggles, and the weight, fall away.

Hi everyone, I'm new on here and wishing I'd found it before my RNY surgery on 12/18. I wish I was feeling as successful as some of yall. I feel like I'm struggling to get in my Protein and fluids daily. I'm still really sore internally and struggling with motivation to get up and around because I hurt so bad. The number on the scale is dropping...I've lost 19 pounds since I started my pre op diet on 12/11...but I'm just feeling miserable and having a hard time fighting off the feelings of deep regret.

It's definitely a struggle for to get the fluids and proteins in as well. I will tell you that when I do better at it (not even at goal!) I feel better. I'm using timers to help with my pacing. Plus them going off reminds me to start another cycle.

Best surgery wishes for those going in tomorrow!

Hi! Newbie here. I had my surgery on 12/7. Since my pre-op diet & now surgery, I’ve lost a total of 64 pounds. 30 of that is since surgery. For the most part, I’m doing well. The problems I am having is feeling nauseated with drinking most fluids and fatigue. I am told this will pass.

Have you been exercising since you arrived from the hospital? how many minutes or hours per day? I lost 24 since the surgery but in the last 2-3 days I have not lost any weight. I'm still doing my liquid diet.

Me neither! Nothing lost since Tuesday! Still, I have dropped a pants size. But wasn’t expecting a 2-week stall !

I need to pick up the exercise...

Glad I am not the only one! I'm down 21 lbs since VSG on the 18th of Dec.but no loss in 3 days...

Thank you all so much! I'm on my way to the hospital now, pre op starts at 5:30am.

Got my sleeve yesterday. Had a rough night with a lot of pain and nausea. Not a lot of gas pains like I thought I’d have, but I am burping a lot. My nurse has been great with bringing me pain/nausea meds. How’s everyone else doing?
