I am scheduled for RNY bypass on June 14, 2018. Currently, I’m on day four of my pre-op diet. So far, so good!

Ok, thank you for sharing! I just took two tiny sips. Maybe tomorrow will be easier! I did get the bags of vitamins/fluids this morning through the IV so hopefully I’ll be ok with the wee bit I got in by myself. Tomorrow is a New Day!

How you feeling today?

Hey Guys I also had surgery on the 20th. I'm feeling ok now just still having a hard time getting 64 oz of liquids a day but working toward it.

@Trixie82 - You're so sweet to check in on me. I do think today is better than yesterday but definitely slow and minimal improvements. I'm not sleeping as much as I was in the hospital so that's a plus. I have almost 30 oz. of liquids in, but man it's hard!!! Getting up from the couch or turning and getting up from bed is very painful still so I'm staying on the pain meds for a bit longer. Some of the bloating has gone down but it's very minimal. I'm so happy I still have 9 days left to heal before work. You have had an amazing healing and have lost so much weight already. That's so awesome. Keep up the amazing work. I'm headed into an evening of Netflix binging.

I had my surgery June 27th. Any surgery buddies sharing the 27th?

Welcome @BearsBeetsBarbells! Congrats on your surgery. How are you feeling? Mine was Monday, 6/25.

Hi! I’m feeling okay. We had to drive home yesterday (5 hours) and that was definitely uncomfortable. How are you doing with fluid intake?

I'm so sorry for that long drive. I can only imagine! My surgery was Monday and I stayed 3 nights in the hospital, so Thursday my Dad picked me up to take me to my house and the drive was 40 minutes or so and I literally felt every bump in the road. Is your left side killing you? Mine is. I basically move back and forth from the couch to bed. Yesterday I got in 29 ounces. It's so hard! I feel so full all day. Even the vitamins feel like a huge meal. Haha! I've been watching YouTube videos all morning and going back to weight loss surgery patients early videos post op to see if their experiences are similar to mine. I plan on taking a new video today or tomorrow and uploading. You can find me under "Little Kansas Kitty" and feel free to subscribe. How are you doing with your fluids? Did you weigh yourself already?

Vitamins are a chore! Several that I take are capsules and having to take just the powder is soooo unpleasant ?

I’m doing really well on fluids but as you said, I feel so full! I only had one instance of trying to drink too much too fast. I got light headed and nauseous.

No left side pain just a lot of pressure at the top of the stomach when I walk

I had my surgery on June 12th, still having problems with gas and heartburn, does it get better if you get more fluids in?

I actually made my fluid goal today! And had 2 protein shakes, and 2 small meals. (I mean real small). I am feeling pretty accomplished today. Last night i guess i ate too fast and i had terrible chest pain! I walked and burped and wiggled until i wanted to cry! Thank god it didnt last too long. Today I have been canning green beans from our garden, 52 quarts! Hope everyone is doing well!!

I had Gastric Bypass on June 11th. 20 pounds down but still getting stabbing pains in my left side. Is that normal? Also does anyone deal with head hunger? Any tips?

Yes on left side pain but mine was the 20th. It’s the biggest incision from what my surgeon said. Not really on head hunger. The only time I recognized I might have had head hunger was when I had not drank or ate anything for awhile took one bite of yogurt and was all set.

Thank you I hope this left side pain goes away. I'm a side sleeper and I have to sleep on my back so my sleep cycle sucks.

RNY on June 27th, terrible left side pain and was also sent home with a drain which is gross. Can’t really get comfortable in any position. My daughters went to a grad party today that was catered by olive garden, the host sent them home with 25 breadsticks, a large pan of fettuccine alfredo and a dish of marinara sauce. How sad is it that I was heartbroken, I wanted that food more than the surgery I was just blessed to have. This is going to be a wild journey.

It's hard to give up food I'm addicted to it. Not sure what your beliefs are but I pray for help often. Sorry about the side pain it totally sucks.
