Hey twin! How's the liquids going for you?!

I had my RNY Monday the 3rd, how is everyone doing post op so far if you’ve been in this week? Luckily, I dodge the nausea which had me terrified and liquids are going down easy. But this hunger, I’ve never experienced more discomfort in my life. I can deal with the pain, even that was more intense than I had planned. I have my first post op visits Tuesday and will ask about incorporating some soft foods. I’m so uncomfortable I can’t even communicate with family and friends. Wetting all my protein in and plus some. Hoping everyone is recovering well!

I had RNY on 12/3 as well. I can relate to the hunger. I just try to focus on all my liquids. If Im hungry, I'll just make some turkey bone broth an add vegetables. I don't eat the veggies but seeing them makes me think I am. Im usually full after that. Also staying on a routine the entire day helps. Hope this helps, if not remember this is only temporary.

I'm in Michigan. I start Liquid diet one week prior to surgery so the 27th....I have my few hour long pre-op class on the 26th. Thanksgiving will be my last big meal! Excited for 2019......a life-changing year!!!

My bypass is scheduled for the 26th. [emoji4] It was interesting eating a Thanksgiving meal with abandon. That is the last time. I did enjoy it.

I’m having mine December 11th

Hey everyone I am having my bypass this Monday the 10th. I am so excited and nervous. I don't have to do a preop diet, I am glad about this but also a little worried. What if I gain a few pounds will this increase the risk of surgery?please if any body else on here didn't have to do a preop diet how was your surgery?

I’m scheduled for the 14th.

No pre op diet for me either. I just watched what I ate the week before to be certain I didn’t gain. I had one great meal at my favorite restaurant with wine but ate healthy the remainder, worked for me. Good luck, I’m 5 days post op and it’s been tough for me.

nursenays thanks for your reply. I am so sorry you are having a tough time. I hope all gets better for you soon.

Gastric bypass on the 17th. Nothing like surgery for Christmas!
