I'm also a single mom. Two days pre-op I spent about 8 hours bawling while writing my 'if you're reading this then something went very wrong' letters....I have since shredded them cuz, well, drama much??? In reality the chances of me dying from complication from obesity are much higher than dying from surgery....but you couldn't tell me that on that night!!! It's scary, but chances are you'll do fine and be a healthier, happier mom for your babies . Good luck!!!

Good luck guys!!!! You're almost there!!!!!

My docs office told me specifically NOT to drink the shakes they make you do for pre-op after surgery cuz they will make you dump.... HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 238

Mine had me on 2 flintstones complete chewables except my Iron just came back a tad high (first time EVER!) so I had to switch to one without iron and all I could find were gummies, they are tasty!!!!

First day I've actually been on purée/mushies and focusing on Protein....oh my how I feel like I spent every second either eating or drinking!!!! (Or having just eaten and am now waiting to drink!). Ugh, this shall be a bit of a challenge....and I shall kick its ass! ( but I DID get the protein, and I'll have the Water in by bedtime!) take that my fat butt, take that!!!

Yay!!!!! Thoughts and prayers with you. It's so nice to be on this side (and give it up, you're not gonna sleep!!!) HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 238

In a word? Grumpy this too shall pass!!! I was actually whining earlier because I lost 3 pounds the week I had surgery while watching others who have like 10+ lb losses during that same time frame. But again, 3 pounds gone is three pounds gone! Physically I'm good. Went to the grocery store today, exhausted by the time I got home but even with the walking, shopping, loading, unloading had no real pain, just a little stiffness (I only lifted a bag or two at a time). Ready to be back at work but my MD harassed me into taking off today and tomorrow so back to work Wednesday! Yay!!!! But I am moody!!!! Easy to tears, not feeling myself, not liking this part!!

And then the walls come tumbling down!! I need our resident psych nurse!!! (Or a cookie) My son is an awesome young man, great manners, kind, caring, a joy to mother....usually. Last week he got in trouble for talking, a repeat offense which we had already discussed consequences if it happened again. Now, I never enjoy punishing the boy, he gets his feelings hurt easily and hates it when I'm disappointed in him. Tonight, halfway through my lecture, I had to send him to his room so I could break down and bawl. Then he came back out, saw I'd been crying, thought it was because of him....ugh, way too many tears around here tonight!!!! Freaking hormones!!!! I want my chipper back!!!!

Port site pain is a BEAR!!!!! Bothered me for over a month. My doc says he literally had to scrape y port off my abdominal wall....OUCH. Even with my band already gone and healed my revision was 3 hours....RNY is not an easy surgery, add in that we're revisions and it really can be a mess! Oh how I love life without my band though'!!!!!! HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 238

I had a week on liquids, 4 weeks on smooth softs (kinda like puréed), 4 weeks on ground soft then I'm free. So, 2 months give or take. HW 312, pre-op (lap-band) 294, pre-op (RNY) 255, surgery date 2/11/13, goal weight 154, current weight 238

My current Breakfast of choice is vanilla Greek non-fat yogurt (6 oz) mixed with a scoop of the Syntrax double stuffed cookie. I divide it in to 4 serving so 1.5 ounces was about 9 grams of Protein.....doesn't sound that impressive but it is only 1.5 ounces.... I also like the syntrax fuzzy navel, but it has to be over tons of ice and I sip slowly. I just do not care for the protein taste though, it's a struggle!!!!!
