I'm 60. Anyone else over 50 doing RNY?
tsworkinger replied to Pam Peltz's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I was 50 when I had my surgery. July will be 2 years for me! I did great! Don't regret it for a moment. Was a size 22, now a size 6!! -
Congratulations! I too am waiting to see that goal. I had my surgery July 8th and have about 20 lbs to go until I hit my first goal!

New Food For Post Ops...
tsworkinger replied to lovelygirl01's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Please email me your spreadsheet. tsworkinger@comcast.net. Thank you so much! -
I started the soft foods phase this week and I have to say that almost every time I eat I feel nauseous! I've not thrown up but I certainly don't feel good. I'm so sick of protein shakes the thought of them make me gag! I was so excited to start this phase and get off the pureed. I just don't know what to do!!! :-(

How long does laprascopic RNY surgery normally take.
tsworkinger replied to jetson's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Not sure why mine took 3 hours... there were no complications. My surgeon used the Da Vinci Robot-don't know if that's why it took longer. -

July 2013 - Post Op Thread
tsworkinger replied to PittGuy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi everyone! Day 3 post op and I'm feeling pretty good. Sipping, walking and napping is all I'm doing right now. Sunday I start full liquids so I can start eating cream soups, SF pudding and yog urt... looking forward to that. Only real pain is around drain area especially when getting up and down. Thanks for all the well wishes and prayers! -

Loser's Bench Here I Come...
tsworkinger replied to tsworkinger's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Thanks everyone! I will post as soon as I'm able. @Carol, so glad it all went so well for you; I'm hoping for the same outcome. I had my gallbladder out years ago so I don't have to worry with that. My surgeon's during the procedure with the Da Vinci Robot; supposedly there's less chance of complications and a quicker recovery time. I'm hoping to go back to work in two weeks!! -

20 days until i hit the losers bench
tsworkinger replied to PittGuy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It hasn't been too bad! Sunday was my first rough day; I was supposed to go to our church picnic and I just couldn't. Once I got back to work on Monday things were better. Stay busy to keep your mind off food. I get hungry but not starving. About the time I start to get really hungry, it's time to drink another shake. I'm really sick of the shakes though! -

It is flying! I started this process back in January, thought it would never get here for so long. These past two weeks have gone by so fast! -
