How often have you gotten sick?
NYJenn replied to MN_Meg770's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Once, immediately after waking up from surgery. -

How often do you weigh yourself?
NYJenn replied to Tracy1978's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Every morning, but my only official weigh-ins are at the doctors office -

I’ve been drinking a cup of 1/2 caffeine coffee (17 days out) 🤷🏼♀️ -

Don’t make excuses and cut corners. That’s how I gained weight in the first place, and I wouldn’t risk it again. You’re only cheating yourself

My advice; don’t tell coworkers. You tell a couple, soon everyone knows. So unless you are comfortable with everyone knowing. Just don’t

I had surgery 7/10, today was one of the first days I had real, sustained energy. Cleaned the house, purged the kids toys, etc. It takes time

How do I eat healthy when my family doesn't?
NYJenn replied to luckyducky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Does your mom understand what it means to “help me out post op”? Anyway, I agree you and your spouse need to have a serious discussion about what will come into the house for the foreseeable future -
They will absolutely do a pregnancy test the day of surgery

How do I eat healthy when my family doesn't?
NYJenn replied to luckyducky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I’m not expecting the world to change. But to ask my family to avoid eating crap (at least right in front of me) for a short time, isn’t asking too much. If they love me, they should be happy to help -

NYJenn replied to luckyducky's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I would throw a fit if my husband/Mom/etc ordered pizza, brought home doughnuts, baked a cake, or came home with a Costco sized package of little Debbie’s this early in my journey (10 days out). I think it’s super inconsiderate. Down the line? Of course. But right now? That’s just jerky -
Take your pain pills if you need them, walk and sip

Question I'm trying to decide should I take 2 or 3 weeks off from work
NYJenn replied to Redapples's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
2 weeks should be fine -
How long was you in the hospital after gastric bypass?
NYJenn replied to GettingHealthyForMyKidsAndMyself's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I have two littles myself. My mom took them Monday night into Tuesday. My surgery was Tuesday morning. My husband got them back on Tuesday night. I stayed in the hospital alone all day Wednesday (all I was really doing was sleeping and walking anyway) and they picked me up Thursday morning -
I think if the decision isn’t banging you over the head as the right one...then you (or anyone) simply are not ready for the commitment. It’s a huge undertaking and if you aren’t ready, wait until you are.

more post-op pain than i expected
NYJenn replied to lizjones's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Get up, keep moving, try to resume some light daily chores. I know moving around sounds like the last thing you want to do, but honestly I felt like it helped my recovery so much. 2 days on pain meds and that was it -
Can someone please enlighten me.
NYJenn replied to damonlg's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I went bypass; it’s been around a lot longer so doctors know and have studied the long term effects. I didn’t feel as confident about the sleeve, it seemed as many of you said “the trendier option” -
Just my little cents; My surgeon and nutritionist both recommend only weighing yourself once a month. That way you don’t get hung up on the stalls or the little fluctuations we have

Just post op and kinda going 🥜
NYJenn replied to chefpaige's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had mine on Tuesday. Just super tired. No more pain pills, just Tylenol as needed. Hurts when I laugh, like I did a million sit ups 😂 -

Didn’t cheat...but thought about it -
Used my toothbrush, phone, charger and just went home in the same outfit I arrived in
