Just got home! Had RNY surgery yesterday. I couldn't be happier. No nausea, practically no pain, and am able to drink Water without difficulty. Apparently, I had a hiatal hernia that needed repairing, too.

The only weird thing so far is that I can't burp intentionally like I used to in order to release air after drinking. I have to wait until my stomach decides the time is right, then it finally just happens. A little uncomfortable but certainly not worrisome.

I hope that’s the way mine goes I have had a c section and a mini abdominal surgery and avoided painkillers they tend to make me sick hoping I don’t have a lot of pain either

So I’m in my room and Doing ok. Woke up in a LOT of pain. They won’t let me get up and walk and I am a little annoyed. I’m also nodding off when I am trying to type. Good luck everyone on the schedule tomorrow or this week New me is ready to rock and roll.

Good Evening Funky June Bunch,

Today I survived the all liquid diet.< /span>

But with one step forward there is always one step backwards.

I am suffering from a case of yup you guessed it!!!!! Constipation

I haven’t had it this bad in years. But it is getting better.

Well within 24 hours I will have entered the Post stage of WLS.

I got on the scale this evening and what do you know……….216!!!!!

Well I can’t wait to get tomorrow over with.

I will possibly check in the morning or even afterwards to let you all know I made it!!!

June Bunch….. We Go This!!!!!!

Hey Purpledva... I’m curious to know how you’re doing & how everything went yesterday with surgery....

Hello June Siblings! My RNY was yesterday. I didn’t know quite what to expect as my last surgery was 35 yrs ago. Very pleasantly surprised. The Bariatric unit staff were great no matter their role on this team.
Got home this evening around 6PM. now having my last full liquid for the day. I was given a Scopolamine patch in Pre-Op yesterday AM. Will take it off tomorrow. So far no nausea. Have been walking as prescribed. Will be glad when all the gas is gone. 🤣🤣

Three days down in the liquid diet. So far so good. It’s boring, no doubt about it, but I’m being a good girl and sticking to it. 12 days till surgery.

Hi all 😊 I still need to go back and read through this all of this thread, but I just wanted to introduce myself!

I’m 24 years old, 5’2 and 245 pounds - a bit young, but I’ve been overweight all my life and have tried everything - fat camps as a child/youth, medically supervised programs, wellness retreats (basically adult fat camp lol), diet pills... I want to start living my life more fully and ward off all the health problems I’ve seen my parents struggle with for years, and VSG seemed like the most effective tool to get me there!

I actually got the call to schedule surgery this morning - VERY unexpectedly - and it’s set for next Friday, June 14th. My doc usually requires a 2 week liquid diet beforehand, but he’s going on vacay and I’m “young and healthy”, so I get to start today 😱 A tiny part of me was disappointed b/c there were things I wanted to eat before, but I actually think it’s for the best and I’m very excited to start this journey! (we’ll see if I’m still so optimistic once I’m a few days into this liquid diet 😉)

[JamesL73 151]

@Janet G Burch and @grl499 Welcome to both of you. Grl499, you're a day before me and Janet is a day after. Mine is 6/15. The pre and post OP liquids aren't bad (once you find Protein Shakes you can actually stomach). Once you get past the first week or so of detoxing from all the carbs your energy will start to come back as you'll be in ketosis and your body burning fat for energy. Good luck to you both on this life changing journey.

So I started my liquid diet today and I'm happy to say that even though it's soooo hard to see my kids eat, I'm staying focused. I keep reminding myself that I have worked my ass off for this and this is what I want.

[starladustangel 269]

I am miserable right now. I have anti nausea meds and pain meds . I am struggling to keep Water down without vomiting but sugar free popsicles seem to do a little better.
