God luck!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 234.8

We went in to the first surgery expecting to be able to complete the RNY but had so much damage from my slip and prolapse he didn't think he could do his best job for me at that time. Healing from the band removal was no biggie other than the port site being sore a hell. And the emotional melt down after waking up and discovering my band was gone and I couldn't get the RNY....cried for days. Then it was okay. My RNY was about 3 hours due to the amount of scar tissue he had to take down but really it's been an easy recovery. I'm tired and get nauseated more than I'd like but that is improving. I ache some but I really only have pain when I try to be Wonder Woman :/ I trust my surgeon to do what's best for me and I hate that I've had to have 2 surgeries and recoveries but I'm judging by how well I'm doing that he did the right thing in my case You'll get there!!!!

It's night and day!!!! I only had to do liquids a week post-op but at 15 days out I'm still really not getting hungry so liquids were more 'oh yeah I need to eat' instead of 'oh my God I'm starving to death feed me now!!!!' It's pretty awesome the difference a day makes!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 234.8

My mom is 30 years post gastric bypass (at that time known as stomach stapling). She called this morning and last night, for the first time since she had her surgery,she got stuck on a food and had the whole chest pain, nausea, misery...30 years later! She was shredding carrots for slaw and ate a hunk of carrot and thinks she just didn't chew as much as usual (all is well today, scared the crud out of her though!!)

Liquid passes through faster....doesn't hang around like solid food does.
