How's everyone doing? My RNY was July 25, 2017 ... When I began this journey in January I weighed 244 ... I'm down 44 lbs since January, 36 since 2 wks before surgery and 27 since surgery ... I definitely consider myself a slow loser and am going to have to work for every ounce I have to lose ... how's everyone else feeling or doing?

Any one out there want to start their Mon to Fri out with a great start by touching base between 7:30 and 8:30 AM and be each other's accountability partner? Help each other with such things meal planning and other bariatric and non bariatric things?

I'm very interested. I originally started this post!

I have my last Appt for Medical weight management in June ... Hoping to have my surgery July or August ... Any one else planning on having gastric bypass around then? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was told if I am not finished in 45 minutes, I should stop ... currently on 1/4 cup of puréed, usually done in 20 to 30 minutes.

I'm 15 days out today. I am feeling pretty good. So things that helped me are the fact that I can get my fluids in really well. I credit that to the fact I bought 2 oz red solo cups and it reminded me to sip consistently. The other thing I did was walk. On 4 days out I began walking for 10 minutes every waking hour. Then on day 6 increased the time to 15 minutes every 2 hours. Day 10 - 20 minutes every 2 hours. I also rested in between because that promotes healing also.

Stephi Congratulations!!! How are you doing?

Lynmar we are surgery twinning .... I am the same date as you July 25th @ the University of Penn in Philadelphia, PA ... on a 1000 calorie liver shrinking diet ... Good luck to you also ... We got this!!

What could happen if you don't sip after bariatric surgery?

Yes I mean take bigger drinks

It amazes me how different dr's are when it comes to what we can and can not have ... sugar free/fat free pudding is on my list of ok foods along with creamy soups

I called my insurance company to check if I was approved and was also told nothing was submitted ... then I checked in with the Dr's office assistant and she re assured me it was submitted but the costumer service can't see it because it goes through the pre-approval dept

Your user name gives the impression you may be from the Philadelphia area. I'm about 30 minutes south of Philly .... Dr Williams is doing my surgery at the University of Penn ... where was yours done and by who?

I'm on the same agenda as you. Preop diet starts July 11th and RNY July 25th

SouthDakota had RNY. That is what I am having also .... what about you amyemer? Refresh my memory on your surgery date

My surgery date isn't until July 25th.

Hi SouthDakotaSomeone - How are things going for? Hope you are doing well!

Lalaredd111 how are things going for you? I'm hoping well!

Got my surgery date last week ... RYN July 25th ... feeling nervous

I wish you the best also!

Sent a FB request too

I started the process in January. Very nervous also. I never did as I was told to start logging my food, with the exception of a few weeks.

I'm July 25th too. Having gastric bypass though.

Pennsylvania, 30 minutes south of Philadelphia .... Having my surgery at the University of Penn .. and you?

Just got my date today for July 25th. Also excited and nervous.
