You are a super parent! I will never forget your story. Best of luck to both! I always tell my children nevrr to give up. One door may close but soon after another will open.

Welcome and best of luck. I had RNY on 7.31.13. It has been the best thing Ive ever done, just wish I had done, just wish I had done it sooner.

Thanks for the link. I am having a hard time w my proteins. I like them now and 2 secs later I cant tolerate it.

Thats the spirit!

Incredible how pleple take advantage.

Congratulations! I perfectly understand how you feel. I had always been on the side line too. I remember going to my children parent teacher conference and not sitting because I was afraid the chair would break. I had my surgery on July 31st. I cant tell you how happy I am about this. When I saw my surgeon for the 1 st time on June 12 my weight was 328, I didnt have to do a 2 week liquid diet. Two weeks ago weighted 257.2. I have gone from a 4x to 1x and still blushing from the compliments. I am not going to lie and tell you it was easy and a smooth path. I had no complication; however the changes have been very drastic and difficult to adjust. But worth every single one of them. Best of luck and please keep us updated.

Doing well. Constant nausea still. Down to 265 as of last Sunday.

I had my surgery on July 31. All had gone well. I was feeling a bit tired here and there. If I ate too quickly I would vomit. So I was able to slow down and got with the program. That was until 3 weeks ago I got a boil under my armpit and about a week later i popped. I started having body aches nausea and fever. I went to the ER on Monday last week because the fever wouldnt stop and another 3 boils started to come out. I was put on antibiotics and sent home. Since then I cant barely eat anything or take my fluids. I dont even like anything I used to like. Not even the ice from my ice maker. The smell of food makes me gag. Liquids too. Yesterday all I had was a popcicle and 1/4 diet snapple also ice and bits of water. Today I forced myself to eat 1/2 of a tiny tenderloin of chicken breast. What can I do? I am scare, I feel exhausted and constantly salivating.

Thanks. After getting my ears pulled by my doctor I have gotten my act together. The constant nausea he says is due to the lack of fluids and protein. I was dehydrated his office is at the hospital tower so he ordered admission to monitor me. The IV is horrible but after the 3 bag I felt better. I had a small pouched tilapia w cilantro my husband brought and started by chewing crushed ice. I feel muvh better now.

My surgery was on July 31st without any complications. This has been the best decision I have ever taken. The only problem I see is that I am never hungry. I do not like anything. I like it in the morning and then I don’t like it. I take my vitamins regularly. It took me a while to keep my food and not vomit it, but I fixed it by cutting everything with scissors. The only set back has been that I got an abscess and it got infected. I have been taking antibiotics for 1 week and it has gotten better but the fever is still present. Total weight loss 67 lbs.

I tried watermelon. No sugar or anything. 2 seconds after swallowing the first bite I started to salivate and vomited. No watermelon dor my pouch!

My Mr.Wilson definitely does not like solids. I am starting to think that I should go and take a chewing 101 class. Suggestions?

My surgery was 21 days ago. Although I can eat some solids still prefer colr ultra cold icy fluids. My taste buds have changed dratically and my sense of smell is more acute.

I named mine Mr Wilson. He means well, but latetly he doesnt like anything but popsicles, specifically the pinnaple flavor.

is exactly the same as mine. My doc said that as long as there was no faul smell or pain to let it run its course.

I dont know if it is the same but 6 day post op my belly botton started to drain first drops but after the doc examined it it was much more. Just last night the drainage stopped. Now is from the inner belly botton just a drip.

Cant wait to see the fam after significantly loosing the weight

I am 12 days post op. They weighht is normal. I weighted myself 5 days after surgery and hsd gained 1.5 lbs. I flipped! I reweighted 4 days later and had lost 10.8 lbs. Gas pain is normal and the easiest and most effective way is to walk walk walk. At your own pace lil by lil. Like baby steps!

It inspires me to read these posts. I had my surgery 12 days ago and keep asking myself if this rny would actually work. So many drastic changea so quickly. I am 5'6 a month b4 surgery I was at my highest 338 on surgery day I was 318 two days ago I was 308. Thanks for shsring your stories and congrats

Congrats! It gets better and easier as long as you walk and sip sip sip. Every lil sip counts. Keeping a log hels me a lot. Today it has been a wk from my surgery.

Dear all finally the day has arrived. I feel very happy, like when I was lil and went to Disney for the first time. Wish me luck

I was released from the hospital on Friday evenung after finally being able to pass gas. I feel well showerer in my bathroom and slept a max of 3 consecutive hrs. I was able to only drink 30 oz pushing it yeaterday.
