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?

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
