Good luck, my RNY was 8/10. I agree with the walking. The more you move around, the better you will feel. Also, one day at a time. Don’t be discouraged if you have a setback or a bad day. I’ve definitely had some not great days and struggle with fatigue and drinking enough liquids but give your body time to heal. This is a big, life/body changing ordeal! Be well!

Good Luck! I had mine July 23rd and I was a nervous wreck. I woke up before I knew it and was so glad it was over. Now, I'm on my next chapter. Just remember your fluids, Protein and walking.

This forum is great and everyone has been really helpful. Your not alone..

Good luck with your surgery. Just remember the goals they give you are just that- goals! Don't expect to drink the full requirement of fluids your first day post op. You can slowly work up to the desired goal and you will be fine. Don't worry you aren't losing weight fast enough...it will happen if you follow the process! Walk as much as you can after surgery and take your pain meds if you need them. This is a life changing decision you have made. Do the work and enjoy the reward! Most of all...never go back to what got you here in the first place! Best of luck with your new life!

Keeping you in my thoughts. My surgery was last week. I was nervous as well. One min I was being sent to the back and the next minute I was in recovery. Just do the best you can as no day is the same. Walking is a big help. I do my best to get up and walk several times a day. You got this!

      Happy Wednesday!
       
      I hope everyone is having a lovely week so far! 
      It's been a bit of a struggle this last week...I'm hungry ALL the time.

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
