My surgery was July 23 as well. I'm only down 37 pounds since surgery but 57 since the start of the journey. I have not had any problems with food but I seem to be able to eat more then I did before. It's making me nervous. I'm slow too but know I need to start exercising. I'm having trouble with my ankle which is keeping me from doing much.

Where are all of the July post ops? We seem to be a quiet bunch. I'm doing well. I'm down 56 pounds since the start of this journey and my pouch seems to be ok with just about everything I eat. I need to increase exercise though. I'm having trouble with my ankle and knees so it makes it a challenge. How is everyone else doing?

Hi everyone I'm 50 ( as of 5 days ago) and had rny on 7/23/13. I'm 54 pounds down since the start of my journey. I'm feeling good overall although ankle and knee pain has not been good and keeps me from walking a lot. You ate right Darcylyn this would be very hard to go through alone.

Good luck-wishing you a smooth recovery.

I had a gallbladder removal ( lap) and a complete hysterectomy (open). He spent an extra 45 minutes removing scar tissue but he was able to do the surgery lap. -

I felt terrible for the first couple weeks. Phenergan was a life saver. It did get better. I'm now about 4 1/2 weeks and have not felt nauseous for quite awhile. My first couple weeks I never thought it would end. Hang in there! I drank g2 and powerade zero the first week.

You look awesome! -
The preop diet was the hardest for me. It got better after about day 4 but I was really glad it ended after 14 days! Hang in there.

Severe bowel impaction = er visit.

Just a warning... If constipation gets worse, dont wait. Call your surgeon's office. The procedures to take care of this were horrible, but I feel so much better. I hope I never have to deal with that again! -

The hospital did give miralax to take now but I was way past that working. I had an extremely compassionate nurse which definitely helped but it was still humiliating and painful. -

I felt like I had to go all the time but when I would try it was extremely painful and either nothing would happen or a small amount of liquid. I told the er doc it felt like a "plug". Unfortunately I was right. -
