I have to have lots of ice in my Water and then I can sip it without issues. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

I am in week 4 and in soft foods. Down 32lbs and doing well. I take a bottle of Water everywhere with me.

I had very little pain and went back to work after a week. I wish I had been prepared for the buyers regret phase. I had about a week (while I was recovering) when I kept having mental attacks of "holy crap, what did I do!" I know it was frustration over not eating, feeling wonky and all that but it did pass and now 1 month post op I have no regrets or doubts. Another thing that has been learn as I go is getting used to sipping Water. I live in the south and it gets to be 110 outside and I feel like I am constantly thirsty. I keep sipping but have learned that crushed ice and SF pop cycles work the best on helping you feel hydrated. I am still struggling on timing out my eating too. It seems so odd to put my fork or spoon down after each bite and savor the meal instead of cleaning my plate in 30 seconds. I am getting better though.

I am now 1 week post op and just now feeling 100% positive I made the right move. Still struggling with the whole 2 tbsps thing but I think I am starting to get better at it. Did any of you have a "what did I just do!!!!" moment or have any adjustments to make post op?

That is going to be hard. For me moving to pureed helped with the buyers remorse Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

@@Moogle @ Yikes, I am so glad I got moved to the pureed stage at day 7. Still doing mostly Jello and popcicles and other full liquids but the chicken salad and stuff like that helps me feel a little more normal and less What did I just do to myself! @@waterwoman what caused the obstructions? That is no way to start the new journey. I hope you get some healing done!

I had two nights no complications.

So I had a band for 5 years until it slipped and wash removed a year ago. I went with RNY and am 1 week post op. So, I thought it would be an easy transition but the fullness feels different and I don't know my stop signals anymore. With my band it was a runny nose or a heavy sigh. Also having a year without anything put me back into some pretty bad habits on portion and speed eating. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

That was very informative and a good reminder.

@@jessakate I was the 15th. so we are in the same place.

When I had the band I always knew I could reverse it with an unfill, it seemed like I always had an escape plan. I never used it that way but it was nice to know that if one day I wanted out and to eat whatever I wanted that it was there. Unfortunately, my band had an out plan too and decided it didn't want to hang out anymore. 1 year later and with all the 160lbs I lost back I am 1 week post op on the RNY and having the same mental issues as you. It was really bad the first day or two when I could barely get down a medicine cup of Water and then thinking that it will be like this forever no escape plan. I feel better mentally each day and now that I am on pureed food it is really better. I am still stuggling with the mental part of eating and portion sizes but overall I feel good.

I agree with the others. Don't cheat again and get back to it. I think that the preop liquid diet is about preparing us mentally as much as physically. I will tell you that I am 1 week post op and the pain is gone and I am healing but I am struggling with the mental part of RNY. It is really hard to measure out 2 tbsp of food for dinner and to not drink during the meal. Just because they changed my physical body doesn't mean my brain did. Use this preop time to start working on those mental changes.

No drain for me. I am excited to have the surgery over with but have had a few moments in the past 2 days about if I made a huge mistake. I know I didn't but my emotions are running on full steam. I think I will start to feel better as swelling goes down and I start to feel like myself. Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Bypass is what I had. Being home has been a game changer for me. No iv poles to trip over my own shoes and space. Ahhhhh Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Had mine on the 15th. Should get to go home today. Bit more pain than I expected but feeling better everyday Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G900A using the BariatricPal App

Just finished my preop testing and now just waiting for tomorrow morning! I really should have taken the day off today!!!

I was able to have Jello and stuff like that so it gave me variety but I did have some issues in the bathroom for the entire 2 weeks.

@@cb11 I have only lost about 7 pounds in the liquids. I was on my ToM for some of that and feel that did not help things!!!

I am getting so excited. Pre op testing tomorrow morning and surgery Wednesday morning. It seemed like 2 weeks would never end when I started the liquid diet and now I am so close. I am packing tonight and shopping for post op supplies too. Just trying to keep my mind distracted. Other good news is that my replacement fit bit came in today! I have missed it this past week.

I am 36 so not in my 20's but I am 370lbs and 5'6" my BMI is 60. My bypass is on Wednesday and I am so nervous and excited. I almost done with the liquid 2 week diet and ready to move forward with my next step in life!!!!!

@@Bobbieswife are you taking Vitamins and B12? That helped me. I only lost 5 pounds but I am almost there. 2 days until surgery!!!!
