17 days post op from Rny. All seems good except the feeling of pressure in the lower abdomen. I had my first post op appt and lost 9 lbs and the doctor was more than pleased. She said it's only two weeks out and there is still swelling etc but all is looking great.

Having a little problem getting enough protein. Started stage 3 diet and it felt a little heavy so stepping back to cream of wheat and protein pudding. Time will heal all and I just have to be patient.

1 week out thank you for the add❤️❤️

One day out from rny. It's still surreal that I finally got my surgery. I'm on clear liquids for another day then I can go to full liquids. I've been sipping water and premier protein clear all day. Had an ounce of chicken broth for breakfast and another one for dinner. Oh and like 3 tiny bites of jello. Don't want to push it lol

8 days post-op from sleeve! Feeling better and actually went to my surgeon’s office’s monthly support group tonight. Granted, I’m exhausted now, but I met some awesome people who helped me feel better (I’m currently feeling crappy about mom guilt and just so tired of liquids) and I’m looking forward to seeing them next month.
2 days post op here! And miserable lol but glad I made the decision to get this surgery.
Can’t wait to be apart of this group! I have 10 days and I will be able to share my progress as well! Good luck to all those who just had your surgeries! I’m right there behind you and I know you will do great!
Thanks for the add!! I'm still pre op, enduring the two week pre op diet, but July 3rd will soon be here. Good luck to those that have had their surgeries and I look forward to reading your stories.

Three weeks from today! Can’t wait. Post-op here I come!

That's July 13th, probably close to my time. As soon as I know I will tell everyone but we may be transitioning,over together! I can hardly wait!???

I'm so excited for everyone that has surgery coming up soon. I'm still a ways out, but I'm leaving on vacation soon and when I get back I'll only be one month away. So yay!!

July 12 actually, but who’s counting...1,2,3. LOL

good luck! The wait to get scheduled is the worse!! Once you know the date, it helps but it’s still exciting.

One week post op here. Struggling with clear liquid diet. Ready to move on to next phase and still have two weeks to go.
3 days out, curious how others were doing 3 days out!
My surgery was Wed morning so I'm 2 days out. I'm tired and sore. I miss my morphine pump [emoji852]️ I don't regret it at all but I can't wait to feel better. But I can shower when I get up on Friday! I'm having trouble sleeping so I told my husband we are buying a recliner asap. We need a new one anyways. Ours broke and we never replaced it. How are you feeling?
