40's New Beginnings

[Panda 354]

Hi and welcome!

[berniec 166]

Just stumbled on this thread for those of us in our forties! Just had RNY on 10/29. I am 41. Hangin in there. Felt better yesterday than I did today! The pain in my left side just sucks! Still getting used to my pouch.. Not hungry.. But I am thirsty.. It hurts to drink so I am struggling w getting enough fluids.

If your liquids are cold try switching to warm liquids. Good luck.

Hey guys! Just found this thread. I'm 40 and that was a major factor in me having RNY. Was not going to live the second half of my life like this. Had my surgeries ( and an intestine twist). the week of 11/19 and doing well so far!

Hello. My name is Pete. I am 48 and will be having surgery on 12/31. Through my three month insurance required diet and first few days of the pre-op liquid diet, I have lost 32 pounds.

Hi everyone, my name is Becky and I am 48 years young. So glad I had RNY done. Had surgery on March 7, 2012. Op went great, they also fixed my hiatal hernia. Problem after, spent four days in hospital vomiting. Turned out I was allergic to the morphine, made worse when did ct scan which uses iodine dye (which very allergic too). Once they got me all figured out it has been pretty smooth so far. Started at 298 and now am at 181. Feel great! Best part was having diabetes and high blood pressure gone immediately. Love the new me and love that I will be around to enjoy life with my sons

Well, I'm turning 40 in two months so I think I'm close enough to join.... I had my surgery Nov 19 and haven't had any problems. Today I have officially lost 40lbs. There have been so many wonderful benefits and I am so happy I had this done. However, I still can't really eat much other than shakes, broth, and malt I meal. But I am finding new things to help everyday. Jamba juice has a light menu with a sugar free yogurt blend that is fabulous. I can do Decaf coffee with soy from most coffee places although I found Srarbucks decaf sits the best. I have been pretty moody but I am hoping that evens out and strangely my face has been breaking out quite a bit. I'm guessing it is low energy and hormones going crazy. Anyone else?
