That is awesome congrats that is a good feeling. My clothes are starting to get bigger on me which is a great feeling. I have jeans from 10 years ago that I loved but are a size 12,14 which I haven't a fit in for about 10 years looking a forward to slipping those guys on and shopping at my fab old clothes stores.

Some people do gain the weight back and when I her people say that to me I just think to myself well that's not me so what someone else did doesn't affect how I lose weight and keep it off, people don't understand exactly what a douchy thing that is to say to people. I just consider them ignorant roll my eyes and move on or if I'm in a good mood try and educate them. As my mom has always said to me and I say to my kids don't let the turkeys get ya down.

Post op weight now 246

So am laying here in bed slepted til 8 am went back down at 11 and got up at 2 and it's 4 and I am going back to sleep I have no energy and am so tiered I am 2 weeks post op today ugh hope this fatigue passes

I figured out what's making me feel like I wanna crawl out of my skin and feel so jittery its a side effect to compazine an anti nauseous med I was given. I react the same way to reglan I've oh my josh I hate this feeling but at least I found the cause and hopefully will be out of my system in 24 hours.

Totally with ya there I can't wait for this to pass total of 24 pounds down and am sure feeling run down.

It's so weird I had more then enough energy up to a few days ago and how when I sleep I have to be careful I'm actually tired or I can't sleep and my body feels really anxious I can't stop moving and just lay there and toss and turn, my head is so tired all the time but my body is not its the weirdest thing I have ever felt an I hate it.

Am taking zantac

So I am now moved on to puréed and I can't do it, it reminds me of puke and I get nauseas after I eat no matter what I eat. So I guess I'll be sticking to protein drinks and I dunno maybe just chew things real good. Blah

I dunno what it is I now for the last 2 days have been sick to my stomach and barely getting anything in am 11 days post op ugh thought I was gunna be lucky and never get nauseas

I am down to 254 16lbs and feeling good still having some pain though so that's the only bad thing. I am going to puréed tomorrow which I am not to thrilled about I want to be eating food already but I know my pouch needs to heal. I ordered my family a pizza last night man did it smell good, I thought about doing the chew and spit thing but knew I was better then that. Hope everyone is doing well that's had surgery and to those who soon will be having surgery good luck!

Am 7 days post op no nausea getting in all my protein and liquids only able to hold about 2 oz in the new little guy (my pouch). Am down about 13 pounds down since surgery went on a 2 mile walk this morning. Probable over doing it still having pain but eh.

All yours stories sound all to familar. I have always been a bigger girl but until I had my first son at 17 I never went over 170, I ballooned up to 240 and eventually lost the weight through starving myself. Started nurses training and got back up to 230 and had another child which made me go up to 270 and I have stayed there. I look back and can't believe I have been severely obese for almost 10 years. Sleeping all the time being depressed to where I can't even work, never spending the quality time I needed to with my kids. Watching my life pass by. I had lap band a year and a half ago but it didn't work, it wasn't the right tool for me and I knew it but the RNY was to major of a surgery. Then I came to realize I NEEDED the RNY if I was ever going to be the person I wanted to be. I am a week post op today an have changed so much already I can't wait to see what the future holds.

I am 5 days post op and damn am I missing food am on full liquids right now getting all my protein and water in, I have to admit last night i had some cottage cheese and a banana chewed until they where pureed and man where they good. I just wanna eat normal again ugh, I don't miss junk food just regular food. And the scale hasn't moved yet either which I am trying not to freak out about.

Stupid phone cut my thread short so here's the rest able to get all my liquids in and protein via shakes still takin my pain meds just waiting for the scale to start moving

Well I'm feeling pretty good today had survey on Monday

I am 4 days post op and have been getting my protein and water in but at no time do I feel restriction when I drink, I havent takin In any big gulps but I can sip sip sip sip and stil not feel my pouch getting full is that normal?

It just scares me that I won't have restriction, I had a lap band and that was my problem with the band I had no restriction so a little worried.

Well my surgey was on monday and I'm doing good. First 2 days I was extremly painful, I have had 2 c-sections and had the lap band. And this surgery was the most painful. But I am so glad I did it. I hope everyone is doing well!

I am having the revison from band to rny on monday also. I didn't realize how nervous/anxious I was till this morning when I awoke to my lips almost chewed off. i must of bit the poop out of um last night. Bad idea to brush your teeth when your mouth is so tore up burned like hell. I got a weird message from my ex-step mom today on facebook asking if she could come see me at this hospital after I have surgery, for one I haven't seen this women in a good 6 years and was never even close to her. I told her no thanks to her coming, she is not in my life for good reasons, weird.

I chewed the poo put of my lips when I was sleeping last noght mthere double in size and hurt so bad, guess I'm more nervous then I thought about surgery Monday. I thought I would be eating everything on sight today but just had a yogurt and could care less about the whole last meal affect. Man am I gunna miss my coke though.

So surgery is in 2 days am getting excited. I work today from 3p-3a then 8 hours later I work from 11a-11p boy am I going to be tired. Trying to get as much over time as possible due to having no short term disabilty when I am off for 4-6 weeks. Going to spend time with the family on Sunday, my 10 year old said he wanted to spend a whole day with me before surgery such a cute kid. I am so ready for this I can't wait. Going to be fun to do clears on sunday when I go out to dinner with the whole family for my sisters birthday, I will just have to bring stuff with me.

So I got my surgery time I arrive at the hospital at 9 and 1-2 hours later I should be having my surgery I'm glad it's not at 6 am cuz I might work the day before and would get no sleep. So excited got my first protein shakes in the mail today today!
