Anyone else having surgery in April? Maybe we can find surgery twins here. I thought I could start it off by asking a few questions.

When is your surgery? April 4th
What kind of surgery? Revision from sleeve to Mini Gastric Bypass
Height? 5’8”
Starting weight? 285
Goal weight? 175

Tape measure out- stretched out sweats Bye Bye- sounds like a Good Game plan for TODAY!

Thanks for the advice. True story I am a jalopy at this point working on being a speed racer. Lol

Your doing great. Any pound is a great loss remember none of us got where we are overnight.

Even if you lose 2 lbs a week in a year that's 104 lbs.lost.Look at the big picture.

Thank you all for your words of wisdom. The nutritionist took my measurements before surgery. I will have to get those from her. And 104 lbs in a year? Didn’t think about it like that. Thank you, thank you, thank you!

I had RNY on Monday, 4/29/19. I gained 14 lbs in the first 3 days after surgery. The nurses were always hanging new bags of liquids. The Dr said I must have been very dehydrated upon admittance.
No one told me that I could GAIN weight after surgery. I was shocked and disappointed when I got on the scale for the first post-surgery weigh-in!!! I’ve lost all 14 lbs in the first 12 days but I still feel as though I’m on an up-hill battle. My mind can’t wrap around the idea that I WILL lose weight because I’ve not been able to lose weight on my own. I’m past ready to continue this journey!

Looking for RNY Bypass twins for 4/29/19 to compare, help and cheer each other throughout our new journeys!!!

Been a while since I posted, nice to read all the updates. I had my sleeve done on 4/9 and so far weight loss is 26 pounds from that morning:) I am still on mushy food until June 12 not that I am watching the calendar very closely lol.. But I have noticed that I can not eat a full 2oz like they say.. Does anyone else have this issue? I can get 1/2oz - maybe a little over an ounce but by then my stomach is so uncomfortable I know it is time to stop. I am having a hard time with the protein I am now at the point every time I start to drink one I want to puke.

I just joined bariatric pals. I had my surgery 04.30.19
I HATE the post op liquid diet. It is necessary, but I am doing everything I can to not kill anyone. Lol

I cant drink the protein either...it tastes so sweet. One of my friends said to freeze it and eat it like ice cream....I'm gonna try that. I am also having a hard time going #2...its awful. I feel if I eat liquids or purees all day that I never feel full. It's weird. I bought chicken meatballs and started to mush them up and put it with some mashed potatoes or I make some soup with it

Thank you. I am trying so hard. This is the hardest thing I have ever had to do. I see my surgeon on the 20th. I hope he then places me on the soft food diet.

On May 18 it will be a month since my surgery. I never had a problem with liquids other than I never really felt full. I still however, have a problem getting the protein shakes down. To me they are way to sweet. Even with that I am down about 33lbs from my post surgery weigh in, I am also hoping that I get the go ahead for more solid/semi solod foods. I have been mashing down chicken and Turkey meatballs for the last week to try and get more protein in...I tried to puree them but I couldnt get past the texture so I just make sure to mash them as good as possible and then chew each bite at least 20-30 times. I also bought baby food for some different tastes. Mostly the fruit but some veges like carrots, sweet potatoes and squash. You got this, remember everyone is different!
