Congrats! And it is very strange. It is hard for me to get in fluids or protein because I just don't want any thing. I could go all day but of course my surgeon just said..well would you like me to admit you now because the hospital is where you will be! Lol. Which I know but it's hard. I did much better today! So weird not wanting to eat anymore!!

So happy happy for you that you were able to have this done! I am also in Va! Richmond Had RNY on 12/17. Good luck to you and your husband both! My husband has been dieting with me and plans on having the surgery as well at some point. It's great to have that support!

That's awesome! I haven't tried Muscle Milk since surgery but I used it before surgery. They have a cookies n cream and also banana creme too! I was hoping for more loss by now but I ended up back in the hospital last weekend ..my blood pressure dropped. So maybe the fluids I got..who knows.

2 weeks post op. 16lbs gone since surgery and 28lbs total since pre op diet on 12/2! Happy to see the pounds dropping!!

I'm 2 weeks post op today. I've been on pureed food since I got home. Week 1 I was not eating much just liquids, shakes and some soup. But lately as long as it's something I can eat like fish or veggies. I make sure to chew very well and it's pureed before it goes down. I haven't had any issues. Everything I've eaten has went down very well. I will have pain once in in a while from drinking to fast. Sometimes ice water is so good I just go to chug it and obviously. .Can't do that!! Lol. Soft foods for me start now but I have my 2 week post op thursday so I will see what he says!

You will do amazing! I had minimal pain for about 24-36 hours and then that was it! After that was the normal I just had surgery so had to walk slow..sit down easy ect but I'm 2 weeks post op today and no regrets!

I found a New whey protein tube at walmart it's a little less than 4oz. It doesn't taste bad and I'd much rather drink that than a 8-11oz shake. Plus it has 42 grams of protein

Sorry guys this was for the post op thread but hey! Lol. Sorry!

Hello December Post ops! Hard to belive surgery is behind us and we are on the losers bench! I started my pre op diet on 12/2 and surgery was 12/17. Total weight loss has been 25lbs and 14.5 of those pounds since surgery. Truly I struggle with protein and water..probably water more than protein. I'm just not interested lol. But I'm doing my best and better each day. Water, shakes and food go down with no issues..no pain. Get some gas after drinking fluids...find myself burping a lot. I will start soft foods next week and I can't wait! Lol. I am never really hungry so I try to go in order of a shake, water, then food. .usually water again..then a shake, then food. Of course time in between but I try to eat 3x a day but that's rough. I'm just over pureed foods. Once I have more options I think I will be better!

If it's public I wear sweats..if it's family I rock my pajama pants! Lol. Jeans rub where my worst incision is and my incisions are looking so good I won't dare chance hurting them. So hoping to get into some jeans next week. I did slip mine on to see if they fit different. They are a little bit loose but after 25lbs lost I was expecting a bit more. Oh well!

I have realized when I start getting very moodu. It's time to eat. I have a rough time remembering since I don't get hungry but I think my blood sugar drops some. I eat a littke. And I'm good lol

I'm about the same. Ham for me too. I took very soft pieces and chewed it very well. I finally knew what it meant when people say " it felt good on my pouch". So I've had that here and there the last few days. I got some cheese grits and one instant pack last several meals. It's not a lot of Protein but I needed something. Eggs have been good. I hade purchased yogurt and baby food for fruit. Does not appetize me AT ALL. I bought some frozen fruit tonight. I thaw thaw a piece or 2 at a time and it's cold and did very refreshing. Oh and I've done salmon. I bake that and mash it up real good. Great protein! That's pretty much it! I go to soft foods next week. Pretty excited! Lol

That liquid potassium is no joke. They gave me that in the hospital. .one sip and I told her they better find me a shot or something because there was NO way that was going down. And I'm usually usually a suck up kinda person..I'll do what's required but that stuff was impossible. She put it in a small cup of apple juice for me. It helped but still a no go. Good luck :/

I am the 17th as well and literally just in the past 24-48 hours I've been like ok where is my life ? I'm bored and finally getting some energy back so today I cleaned house, did some dishes and even made my husband dinner. It felt good to move around and do something. Tomorrow organizing my daughter's play room is on the list because it looks like Christmas threw up in there haha. I also will have her back tomorrow..she has been at my mom's when my husband works..He works nights and I can't lift her ( she is almost 2) so picking her up is pretty much a must but it's been long enough and I finally have the energy to do so! Emotions stink! I hope u are feeling better. When I see pounds coming off that always helps!

Merry Christmas Eve!! So my very sweet neighbors brought a bucket full of homemade goodies. When I came back inside I opened it and just laughed. Last Christmas me and that bucket would have been sitting on the couch! But I closed it back up and will give it away! Weighed myself today and I and 283.3. That's about 22lbs since 12/2 and almost 10 lbs since surgery on 12/17. Today marks 1 week post op. I can get down with 10 lbs a week! Lol. I hope everyone has a wonderful Christmas. Food will be tempting but WE CAN DO THIS!!!

Week One Post Op! Down 9lbs! Plus the weight I gained while in the hospital which was 11 or 12 lbs but I'm not including thay since I already lost it once! Lol

Hi All! I found you! Lol. RNY was on the 17th. SW eas 292.9 however I came home weighing 304lbs!! But today I am 289.7lbs! I guess that's really only 3.2lbs from surgery weight but I'll take it!! Going great. Minimal pain. Never hungry nor thirsty. Working on a schedule for that and vitamins!! Hope all is well with u guys!

292.9 SW. Oops!

RNY on 12-17. Surgery weight was 292.2, came home 12-19 weighting 304! And today - 289.7! Can u say excited! I will NEVER see 300 on my scale again ! Yes!!! Hope everyone is doing well! I'm still working on getting in all my water and protein!

Hi everyone! Surgery was 12/17 @ 8am. The surgeon said everything went fantastic and he was impressed with my liver! Now that made me happy bc I worked really hard on my diet. The 17th was rough. Almost had to let the nurses see my other not so nice side because they took WAY to long to give me my medicine. But the quoth was better. Still in this odd scrambled guts pain..Very weird. I had had a hard time feeling full or if anything going down hurt bc I was already in pain! But I woke up about 5am Thursday and was in no pain! Minus getting up and down or standing at first but that was nothing. I have had no problem getting water or broth down. Had my first shake yesterday. ..actually got 2 down! So total of 58 grams protein and about 25 ozs water yesterday. Pretty good for first day home I'd say! I can had pureed but right now I'm concentrating on the fluids. I did have 1 oz banana yesterday that set well and I was FULL. Super strange but glad. I have yet to have the remorse feeling or miss food or crave anything. Just praying that continues for a while!!

Love that your a boys fan !!! Lol

Yes it does!! And welcome! My pre op was 2 weeks. It can be rough at first but it becomes normal. Once my body was used to it my head had to get involved. Lol. So then I did that battle and now I'm pretty good. 4 mote days of diet and then surgery on Tuesday!!! So happy for you. I am finally not nervous...and only excited! I love u!

Good luck. You will do amazing! !

Good luck!!
