Just starting journey
ApollosMommy replied to photoman06's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Michael, congrats on making this decision. For me, the liquid diet wasn't as hard as I had psyched myself up for. I was able to sit at the table while my family ate dinner and I drank my shake. Have plenty of Jello and Popsicles available so you can chew if you feel the need. I had RNY on January 20, 2016. I'm happy to answer any questions you may have. Read up on this site and keep yourself informed of what to expect at each phase. It helped me a lot to know that what I was experiencing/feeling was "normal".

I've had 2 Mirenas, one before kids and 1 after. The 1 after was much less painful. The one before hurt, like severe cramping, while they inserted it and I was a little sore for an hour or so after. I would have been able to go out that evening though. I did bleed pretty heavily for almost a month after the first one. Sent from my SM-G900V using the BariatricPal App

Surgery after pregnancy
ApollosMommy replied to nina587's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
It was mine also. Just make sure you listen to your body and don't overdo it. Do you have someone who can help the first 5 days or so? My mom stayed 5 days and that helped us a lot. -
Surgery after pregnancy
ApollosMommy replied to nina587's topic in Pregnancy with Weight Loss Surgery
My son was 16 months old and 25 lbs when I had my bypass. I didn't pick him up for the first week and a half. I picked him up the second week and only held him for small periods of time. I'm now 4 weeks out and hold him as needed with no issues. Sent from my SM-G900V using BariatricPal -

Mine was on 1/20. I'm on purees for 1 more week then move to soft foods. I've had no problems. -
How long until you can go back to sedentary office job after RNY GBP?
ApollosMommy replied to swizzle's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I'm 33 and I had my surgery on a Wednesday then was able to start work the next Monday. I worked from home just so I could rest if needed but I ended up working 8s each day. I could have gone into the office but was on FMLA so I enjoyed avoiding people for a week if I wanted to. -
2 days postop... How did you feel?
ApollosMommy replied to BrightEyes42's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
@@BrightEyes42 I'm ending week 1 of purees and it really hasn't been bad. I eat a lot of soups, tomato and basil, split pea, lentil with Italian sausage, or I make the ricotta bake mentioned above or refried beans with cheese. I'm making a chili this weekend and will see how it is blended. -
I'm 10 days post op and dizzy every time I stand up or sometimes when just walking around. I thought it was my body adjusting to the changes.

Preop diet in a house full of people eating whatever
ApollosMommy replied to BrightEyes42's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
@@BrightEyes42 I am a few hours post op and just told my husband that I'm so grateful my dr had me do the 2 week liquid diet. I feel like it's help me mentally prepare so I can focus on physical healing after. It's absolutely worth it. Hang in there, it'll go by fast! -

Pre-Op Liquid Diet Shakes.....?
ApollosMommy replied to BlueBongo's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You can order online from BariatricAdvantage.com and they'll get to you within a week. You can order your vitamins from them as well. It's cheaper than what my doctor sells them for. -
I'm also on Jan 20. I start my pre-op this week.
