Had lapband done years ago! Wonderful surgeon!

Hello surgery 12/10/19. Surgery weight was 252, this morning I am at 223.2lbs. So, a weight loss of 28.8. When I went in for my first post op I was at 262 but believe it was the actual IV fluids and swelling. I can tell a big difference in my face and my clothing I was wearing 22 now in a 16. I feel great!

My dietician told me 1000 ca/day. I told her I was havinging difficulty getting in 600-800 and she told me I should be getting at least 1000 but people normally do not meet that goal until they are about 6mths out.

Wonderful so glad all went well, thank you for sharing!

Lololoo, love it!

You were right 29g to be exact, urggghhhh it was soooo goooodddd!

Today just tried the Health Wise Turkey Chili with beans! OMGoodness it was so amazing! I am getting on the bariatricpal food and order me some more of this, even my husband enjoyed it! I give it two thumbs up!

Yes it has sugar but it tasted as if we made it ourself! Homemade chili

So, tomorrow I will be 4weeks post-op. I have been experiencing what I believe is a rectocele. I have a bulge in my vaginal wall that I can press and then evacuate me poop! I have an appointment Wednesday for my 2nd post op visit and want to inform my surgeon about it! Embarrassing to talk about but it is rather worrisome on my part! Not wanting any more surgeries! Has anyone had the surgery to correct this or are you just taking it one day at a time?

Not sure, I will keep you posted after speaking with him Wednesday!

I had glue, no bandages!

@ArabesqueThank you so much! I will do just that! Yes, I pureed it with some 98% FF cream of chicken and chicken broth until it was smooth it looked lime Tuna fish and only used the dark meat, thought I read to use dark meat in my notes. Told my hubby I am only eating soups until I start feeling better! Thank you again!

Had RNY Dec 10, 2019 and on pureed stage. Haven't had any issues until last night I cramped so bad like horrible contractions ladies! I took a couple of gas x and it calmed down a bit. I am taking protonix daily and my last BM was 2 days ago and I emptied out everything! So, again today I had pureed rotisserie chicken and about an hour later I had the excruciating stomach cramps but started throwing up which was just spit and it seemed to have calmed my cramping! I do have phenergan I can take but I am feeling better now! Wonder if it is the chicken due to that is the only thing I had yesterday and today both and it was dark meat I pureed. Any ideas of what is happening? My 2nd post op is Jan. 8th. Getting in 48-64oz of fluids a day. Thanks in advance!

Don't worry you will do fine, yes a bit of nausea but they will give you something for that! Prayers your way for surgery tomorrow as well as speedy recovery!

@eporter, yes it has been quiet! Today I pureed some collard greens and garlic butter rotisserie chicken dark meat and I was so in heaven!!!!!! 3 Tbsps but I am so satisfied and wanted to give you something to look forward to! Have a wonderful Sunday!

@Billy Bob, Happy post Christmas Day, LOLOL My dietician informed me to eat 3 Tbsp 3 x per day, but I have been putting my pureed food in those plastic 4 oz cups with a lid and I usually eat most of it, probably with a bite or two left in the container and I discard it! Hope that helped! I noticed you had the sleeve and I had the RNY so, you may be able to tolerate a little more than I have not sure!

@cajunredpanda, hello, I am 16 days post op and today I tried the soft scrambled egg with pinch of low-fat cheese, went down well! Just waiting to have my decaf coffee. I have like you gotten over the broth on its own and I am struggling to get my protein in due to I am sick of them as well. I have been doing the unjury protein drinks which I can tolerate the ready mix ones but to mix on my own, blahhhh! I am getting in 64 oz of water in daily with no trouble trying to shoot for more, yesterday I had 2 Tbsp of pureed hashbrown casserole, today I am going to puree some ham and english peas and store in small containers to eat later. I am realling going to focus on getting in my protein. Again, I can pretty much tolerate the ready made unjury protein shakes, I purchased some premier caramel ones and they are to overwhelming with the caramel taste, blahhhh LOLOL, so I purchased the cookies and cream premier shakes and they too are overwhelming with the taste. I guess they are really just to sweet tasting! Good luck on your trial today and hope all goes well! Have a great day!

Omgoodness yes!Lololol

Had surgery December 10th and I am already pulling clothes out from skinnier days. I told my husband I am going to start purging my closet before I go back to work! The good thing about it, I am not moving smaller clothing to my daughter's closet but moving bigger clothing for a summer yard sale/goodwill! I love it! I wore a dress to church yesterday that was just hanging off of me and had me feeling kinda cute! LOLOL Confidence, slowly coming back but for sure! Everyone have a wonderful and safe Holidays coming up!

I had the band removed July 16, 2019 and had the RNY on December 10th. My wonderful, awesome surgeon would not do them on the same day. Informed my husband I had a lot of scar tissue from the previous surgeries when he performed my RNY but I do not and did not have any issues with healing afterwards. I feel wonderful! Good luck to you!

Yes, me too! I was concerned as well until I read some of the remarks here and my first post-op I told my doctor about it and he didn't seem concerned now, on Christmas day I will transition to the Pureed stage and I barely can now take in half a can of the soup. I think as each one has said is that the nerves are starting to talk to one another and now I am feeling the results of the RNY.

Hello Everyone, Had my post-op visit (first one) yesterday 9 days post-op. Surgery for RNY was December 10th. I was told I lost on my 14 day liver shrinking diet 10 lbs more pounds but my weight was at 254 today, I was so upset! That is like two pounds more than my last weigh in at the doctor's office! The doctor told me not to be alarmed that I was still swollen from the surgery and my legs were swollen as well and he was not concerned about it! It still bothered me, My scales showed a total of 248 but either way, I got home and programmed my scales to theirs and I have another follow-up appointment for January 8th. My rings are loose as well as my clothing feels looser so I truly believe I am and I say, I am on the losing side but got a bit discouraged when I am doing exactly what they have instructed on the full liquid diet! Merry Christmas to me because on Christmas day, I advance to the Pureed stage of my diet! WoooooHoooo! Anyone else have this happen to them post-surgery and if so what was your response as well to the news?

@jlb8080, thank you so much you all have been so encouraging and I am so appreciative of this forum and good friends like you all!

Had my surgery on the 10th, pain first day of surgery and had pain med given in IV and didnt take any after that just a couple of Aleve after I went to walmart 5 days after surgery and over did it! Hope all goes well!

Thank you so much for the words of encouragement! #looking forward to victoriestocome!
