I had my RNY on 11/05. I feel like I am doing really well. I am down about 14 lbs. I struggle getting enough Protein every day. My Dr wants 60-90 grams per day. I am typically on the lower end of that. I am able to get my Fluid in although not drinking 30 min before and waiting for 30 minutes after is always a challenge. I go back for my 1 month check up this week. Looking forward to getting my lab work results. Hopefully everything is on track. How are you doing since surgery?

RNY was on 11/6. So far so good. Slower progress than wha I hoped at 21 pounds down. But, I try to remember that it takes a 3500 calories deficit to loose a pound. That is about 18K calories in a week. I’ll take it.

Hope everyone else in the Nov 3rd week is doing well also.

Hi there. I had my RNY on 11/5 and I'm doing well for the most part. However, if I eat too much, or eat something my tummy isn't ready for, I pay the price. I'm learning to take things a bit slower and am adding just one food at a time to see how it goes. I've had trouble when I try to eat ground beef, chicken or fish (shrimp is okay). I'll try those foods again after the first of the year and then have just a very small amount to start out. I'm down about 20 pounds from my surgery date. I love the fact that my clothes are feeling looser! I cleaned some clothes out of my closet today and took them to Goodwill. That felt good! How are you doing since your surgery?

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      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!!
