Im a week post op and gained 5lbs! What the heck is this about? Im kinda upset about this.

At this point Ill take the pureed stage...Im so over the liquids..I want something with some substance. ..I already have some meals planned out lol

Its great to have a good support system..I think it makes it even more difficult if you have ppl around who just dont get it. Im just 5 days post op and still learning how to deal with all of this...Just gotta take it day by day. And with the help of everyone here...it makes each day a little easier. Especially seeing ppl who had their surgery months ago and know exactly what we are dealing with. With this weightloss community you are not alone!

Same here! I didn't realize how hard it was going to be either...it hit me today and i had a melt down for a sec lol Gotta hold it together...We got this! Lol

Every morning since surgery I wake up and i feel like crap. Is this normal? It doesn't last all day just in the morning... 6 days Post Op

I was curious to know if the surgeon will still perform surgery if your on your period? If so, which is okay to wear, a tampon or a pad? Hope this isn't too weird of a question lol

Same here. Im only 6 days post op and started to get hungry..or so i thought. Lol but whenever i get that feeling ill just have some broth, which actually acts like a meal for me..I look forward to it lol Or ill eat jello...orange jello has become my fav lol.

Thanks ladies, I had my surgery July 18th and i thought i was going to b on my period since it usually lasts a week, but that pre op diet i was on for two weeks changed it! Lol and only lasted 4 days! Im happy i didnt have to deal with the surgery AND my period at the same time..lol

How long after having RNY do you notice any weight loss? I lost 16 lbs before my surgery, and couldn't even tell.

Ugh..yeah...Im feeling like thats going to b my situation. I mean looking in the mirror now, my stomach sticks out way more than it did pre op...although im on a liquid diet still...my scale stopped working so im not sure if ive lost any weight, but just looking at me, it sure doesn't look like it...but i guess i gotta b patient.

Ok, so im on my fourth day of my pre op diet and OMG....today i felt like passing out. Im not even on a liquid diet yet, thats two days before surgery..but i feel like crap today! Really dizzy, shaky, nauseated, having cold sweats and everything. ...is this normal?! I was fine the first three days, but today was NOT a good day...ugh i hope this feeling goes away..

Wow...Im only 4 days post op, and since surgery crushed ice has been my new best friend! I love it...i eat it all day long actually lol

So I just had my surgery 4 days ago...I didnt really have any gas pains until the third day..I woke up at 3am to walk around my house because I was hurting so bad!...Will this last forever? Or is this still gas from the air they put in my stomach?

I have prescriptions i have to take and I find it soooo difficult to swallow the pills...Even my pain meds are in pill form. I feel like the pills get stuck on my throat. I dont want to drink to much Water when i take them so it makes it hard. Any tips on how to make it a little easier?? 4 days post op

So I had my surgery yesterday! My surgeon said everything went great. When i woke up my stomach was killing me! I kept falling asleep and waking up while in recovery..Today they started my liquid diet, but i have no desire to put anything in my mouth except these ice chips. They took away my PCA this morning so now im forced to drink liquid medicine for the pain. It is so nasty. And hardly WORKING. I walked last night, that was painful, and walked again not too long ago this morning..and felt a little better. But after my morning walk im feeling a little crappy again. :/

Well, the time is almost here! My surgery is scheduled for tomorrow at 11:30am! Im kind of freaking out lol. Im nervous and excited at the same time. I've never been under general anesthesia so i am a little nervous about that..But anywho, I had to do a one day liquid diet(today) and i thought it was going to be difficult but i guess since im so nervous im not even hungry! I have to force myself to drink a protein drink lol..
