I also gave an Aria Scale and it is amazing! I just love it! I use it with my Fitbit Force. It has helped keep me accountable! I'll never buy another Scale unless it's to replace my Aria!

Hi ladies! It's been a while but......my surgery went well. I did have a slight issue after surgery as I am allergic to codeine and EVERY pain med narcotic gave me a full body rash that drive me crazy along with the pain. A long story short, I had to stay in the hospital an extra day for not being able to drink and pain management. They gave me Tylenol and I dumped on that then they sent me home on tramadol which did absolutely nothing! 10 days post op I'm feeling a lot better and can walk but not alone. I'm moving a lot better but not 100% yet. I have lost a total of 20 lbs with pre-op diet. 6 lbs post-op as of post-op day 7. Now I do not regret having my surgery but while I was in pain I was regretting my choice. I hope everyone is doing well! And good luck to all those having surgery this week! -

Hi everybody. I had my rny surgery on May 16th. My surgery itself went well but I was allergic to all of the pain meds they gave me and ended up with a full body rash that itched and drove me crazy and the only thing they could give me for pain was Tylenol and Tramadol. I dumped on the Tylenol and I was in agony and pure *ell! I stayed in the hospital for an extra day. I stayed for four days. I could not sip anything because of the pain. I was dehydrated. I constantly thought that I made a mistake about having the surgery. After 10 days post op I am doing much better. My pain is almost gone, I'm healing well, I'm able to get my fluids down somewhat and I'm working on my protein thanks to isopure. I have my post op visit tomorrow. I'm walking pretty good just not alone and while at the store I did have to use a motor cart. All and all I am glad that I had my surgery I'm just sorry I had to go through what I went through. I have lost 6lbs as of post-op day 7. I'm happy about that! Word of advice to anyone having surgery, if you are allergic to codeine as I am, make sure that the doc has a real pain med to give you for pain control BEFORE you have your surgery! -

Lol. I gave up on Popsicles on day one. They did absolutely nothing for me! My stomach isn't growling but it sure is having a burning sensation right now. Just ready for my surgery!!!! -
Minkypop, have you ever heard of Prostat medical grade liquid Protein? My sister has used this for the last 10 yrs since the day she got home from the hospital (post RNY) and swears by it. I have not tried it yet as my surgery is not until tomorrow. I ordered it off Amazon and that is where she gets it as well. Just thought I would pass my info along because you are struggling. I hope everything works out!
