Any fellow nurses that have advice for me?
RNY_NY replied to lovelylala's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I am a floor nurse and went back 1 week post op from having gastric bypass. A huge mistake. I struggle getting fluids in. Fellow staff get angry due to me not being able to assist with lifts. I have not been able to meet my protein goals since returning which i think caused a 3 week stall. Thankfully I have been able to avoid dehydration but i really advise you to take the time your dr recommends. I didnt listen and I have been paying for it. Good luck. -

I am 3 weeks post op and have been @ a stall for 2 weeks. I know stalls happen and I am trying to stay positive but i am finding it hard to. I mean why did I even go through this whole ordeal if I am not seeing a decrease in weight or measurements. I am following my plans and have not cheated. I don't know what else to do. Uugghhhhh. I need help.

How long did you have between ins approv. and surgery?
RNY_NY replied to SarahLovy's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@skyjones I'm doing well. The first 2 days post op were challenging but now im starting to figure things out. Once the staples were removed a lot of the discomfort subsided. I have the same challenges as everyone else: figuring out how to get all protein and fluids in on a daily basis and figuring out more variety in my meal choices. Im staying positive and active (i've been walking a lot) trying to avoid disappointment by not weighing too often ( goal is maybe 1/wk) -

How long did your nausea last?
RNY_NY replied to ozgirl14's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had my bypass on 7/8. I was nauseous for the first 2 days post op. Eventually is subsided. Hope it gets better. -
I had my first post op appt today. Staples removed and down 8lbs. My SW: 267, pre surgery weight: 244, CW: 236. I'm 5'5". I was really down about not having a double digit loss. Am I expecting too much?

Everything went well. Yesterday was rough. I had a lot of nausea and pain all day yesterday. Probably because i had the hernia repair as well. Today is a lot smoother. No nausea. Minimal pain. Thank you all for the words of support.

Congrats. You are leaving and I'm beginning. Well wishes to you. Hoping for a speedy recovery for the both of us.

Just arriving at the hospital. Nervous. Guess I will talk with you all on the post side.

Anyone else as scared as i am?
RNY_NY replied to Joanncann's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am having the same feelings. My RNY is scheduled for tomorrow. I know logically this is the best thing I can do but the fear keeps creeping in. I will pray for your peace of mind. -
Surgery scheduled for 1pm tomorrow. My emotions are all over the place. I'm excited, anxious, and afraid. Doubts make me question if I should cancel but I know I have to go through with this to ensure that I am able to watch my children grow older. I can't believe my time has finally come. Please keep me in your prayers.

Scheduled for July 8th. I only have to do the clear liquid diet for the 24 hrs prior to my surgery day. I am so excited to finally be able to say it's my turn. Good luck to everyone and see you all on the post side.
