I miss caaaaaaaaaaaaaaarrrrrrbbbbbbbsss! I actually miss corn more than rice but I love rice too.

Today I barely scrambled 1 XL egg and could only handle half of it within a 20min setting. It was an interesting experience.

It's not just you. My surgeon is GREAT but I'm admittedly not good with pain in general. I woke up kind of miserable too. I was given liquid oxycodone my first few hours which did nothing so they gave me Dilaudid the rest of my 2 day stay. Dilaudid was awesome when it wasn't wearing of. Day 3 was rough (1st day home), Day 4 was better and so on.

Congrats :).

This. It's weird though this feeling for me will be there one day but then it won't be the next.

Ughhh that fresh surgery pain -_-. Dilaudid (IV) was my jam tho.

Today my dietitian and surgeon told me not to obsess. Because they said they've seen people drop only 2lbs in 2 wks post-op and some as much as 30lbs in 2wks post-op. They were like starting weight, gender, genetics, how well you follow the plan etc are all factors BUT they both said 2-2.5 lbs a week is pretty good.

Well I got the bypass but I started Day 3 (which was my first day home). flinstones compete and celebrate chewables. I am thinking about those patches though.

I didn't become obsessed until I got my date (well my first one on 5/15 (real surgery happened 6/28)) but lol i've gotten it done and i'm still obsessed but about different things. Now it's post-op what I can drink, eat, recipes for every stage etc.

Just want to say congrats to all in here. Technically i'm June 28th (barely feel like a June-er) but just wanted to peek my head in. My post-hospital recovery began July 1st **waves**

You really really need to practice chewing and sipping as thoroughly and as slowly as you can. Trial and error with things like water, broth and tea etc. Like.....room temp fluids makes me gag and nauseous but ice cold or very warm fluids are easy peasy.

DO IT! My hurrah was eating a personal flatbread pizza that I shouldn't have eaten with bbq pulled pork & banana peppers with a peach margarita I shouldn't have drank lol.

I almost came on to ask the same thing a few days ago omg. I started itching like a mofo on Day 5 and by Day 7 I was going crazy and finally paged the nurse (and doctor). Nurse responded first and said if it's not red streaks around the incision sites or swelling or any green/brown/yellow pus then it's just itching because it's healing. If there's none of that (there was none of that for me) then you're alright :). I've been popping a Benadryl here and there and also lightly rubbing around the incision areas with Aquaphor for relief.

I barely feel like a June sibling lol. But here I am! I got it done June 28th :).

Glad you're doing well. That looks like ProSource Gelatein 20 .... they kept giving me the citrus flavor lol I got so tired of that flavor -_-. Cheers to a good recovery in the hospital and when you get home!

I've had a Mirena IUD since March 2017. No problems but then again i'm a person that no matter what birth control method I switch to I don't get hit with any side effects. I get my next Mirena in March/April 2022.

I can FINALLY get on soft foods now. I'm so excited to have scrambled eggs (well 1 at a time lol) or some chicken salad or soft tuna etc lol.

I've been cleared for light exercise.....nothing strenuous on my core (abdomen) though.

THANK YOU! And it did. I feel alright and after my first post-op meet with the Dietitian and my surgeon they like how things are going for me too :).

My brother and mom have come around a little but not much (they eat tempting stuff around me a bit less (marginally)). I'm glad to have everyone's support here and eager to give it back in kind.

Didn't end up getting my 5/15 surgery (i'm a June bypasser instead (June 28th)).

Hey I’m having my RNY on 6/18. How did everything go with your surgery & how are you feeling now? It's a looooonnnggg story but ended up getting it June 28th. So....you actually got yours 10 days before me. I'm Day 11 post-op and just had my 1st post-op with my Dietician & the surgeon today :). I'm doing ok...2 of my 5 incisions are pretty much completely healed and the other 3 are healing slow (but healing) and a bit tender. But i'm doing pretty good still....23lbs down as of now. How are you?

I plan to ask my doctor about this when I can eat things a little more than just super soft foods. I met him today for my first post-op session but I see him again August 8th.

I didn't mean to bump an old thread lol. It would be nice to connect in particular with other bw that have gotten the gastric bypass. My surgery date is May 15th and i'm getting the gastric bypass :).

This may be old but relevant for me in 2019. It never occurred to me they might not operate if they see someone's liver is too big on the operating table. I probably shouldn't have found this just 9 days away from my surgery date lol. I had a small cheat on day 2 of my pre-op diet but i've been a good girl ever since (now on Day 5).
