Hi I am post op and you are way ahead on foods! Go you!!! I just was allowed to start mushy today and so I tried cottage cheese and it went well. I was able to tolerate about 1/2 oz . I am down 14 pounds since surgery and the scale has been removed from my house because I was obsessing... BAD!
-
Praying for you. I am struggling taking the antibotics .. The pouch doesn't like it!
-
They are trying to bring 2 new docs on to help.. Where are you in the process?
-
Thanks today has been long .. Keeping my chin up. Has anyone gotten on the scale yet?
-
Also... My hospital filled all Rx before we left. Make sure to ask if they will!

I keep having moments of remorse and tears... Day 4 post op with a kidney and bladder infection.
-
Morning ... Dr. Paul Enochs did my surgery. He was wonderful! Recovery is slow but we figured out that I have a bladder and kidney infection and that is where the fevers are coming from. I am giving up looking at the scale until my post op appointment on aug 5th. Please feel free to ask any questions I will be honest and not sugar coat anything!!!

I am post op 4 days... We submitted all paper work on July 2 and I was approved that Monday. My doctors office now has 600 people who were in the 6 month process wanting surgery asap. I wonder how long people will have to wait for surgery with this influx of everyone . I was happy to do the six months . I learned a lot. This isn't something that should be rushed . Make sure you are ready ! Good luck to all!

Body feels like it is ripping apart, even where there are no incisions!

Try and not stretch it out for a day and see how you feel. I really am starting to think that it will help. I am going to do the same! -

Make sure to stay ahead of the pain meds... If I go over even 30 min I am doubled over... -

Yes it's been a hard and long struggle... Even getting 64 ounces and 60 g of protein is exhausting ... I didn't think I would be hurting so bad still. My mantra is one day at a time. We can do this! -

Pik I am going through the same thing.. Surgery was 7/21 ... Please feel free to message me and we can walk this walk together. One day at a time... -
Please remember that everyone's recovery is different. I am post op day 4 and I am starting to feel alive again. I had lots of pain and gas pains on top of fever. It's been a rough couple if days but it's all part of the journey. I am ready to see the scale start dropping!
-
That's good ... I have had some pain and I hope to go home today. I am drinking water and mushing sugar free jello. But the procedure itself went great! Just having some bumps on recovery. I ran fever last night but it's gone today. Who knows! Yay to us!

How is day 1 post op???
-
Sorrrrrry!!!!!!
-
Ok y'all.. Do you worry you won't lose weight after surgery and it's all for nothing? Going through a range of emotions tonight...
-
Oh thank goodness I have a time! Praying your time is early!
-
What time is everyone's surgery? Mine is at 10am on 7/21!!
-
So I am having an allergic reaction to something in the protein shakes .. I was covered in hives this morning.
-
It's to shrink your liver. I only have to do a weeks worth since I lost 30 pounds and my blood work was good .. I guess? That's what the doc said anyway. He was willing to do it without me even doing one but since I had a week before surgery he said to do it anyway.
-
That's the best thought ever!!! We get a do over in 6 days! Whohoooo .. Day 1 if this diet was a challenge.
-
Hi! I am scheduled for the RNY bypass in 7 days! So excited.. Started my liquid diet tomorrow .. Would love a buddy to chat with!
-
Started this morning.... Missing my coffee
