Hi everyone.

I am sort of new to this forum. I am still trying to figure it out. I had my rny surgery on June 6 th. I must say that I do not feel great. I feel bloated all the time. The Protein shakes are not good. I need to call my weight center today 6/11 to talk to them about this. I have not had a bowel movement since before my surgery. Not sure if that is normal since I am not eating real food. I have no energy although I did take a two mile walk yesterday that felt good, I then tried to drink my carnation instant Breakfast and since then have just felt gross. I love when I sleep as I don't feel the discomfort, but as you can see its now 4am and I am typing this:-(. I really need help and need to know what other people are eating on their stage 3 liquid diet? Any help would be so appreciated. I bought some Boost drink and it's gross.

I can't wait to feel normal again

I like the Atkins strawberry banana shake. It's really good and it has 15 grams.

I wish I had smaller clothes for you....I haven't had the surgery yet. But...it may be something we massachusetts folks want to do as a group at some point. :)

Hi everyone! Having my surgery tomorrow at Newton- Wellesley with Dr. Partridge. So excited but a little nervous about dealing with the recovery and three small children. Tonight will be tough as I drop them off with grandparents. They wiling well cared for and have fun on their "vacation" but I will miss them!

Thinking about inexpensive transition clothes. Anyone checked out Savers or Goodwill in Framingham?

I'll be going there too!

Hi I'm from Ma I had my surgery at Tufts Medical in Boston. I am 6 yrs out and wanted to go to meetings in the area. I tried to go to Tobey's and they said I could not join their groups because I did not have the surgery there..... So I have started my own. I have taken a leadership program from Obesity Help and I have meetings at the Sr Citezen Center in Fairhaven Ma We are on break until September. We meet the second Saturday of the month at 9:30. Right now we are a small group but we are there helping each other. Support groups are very important from the get go. All are welcome. If interested please let me know.

Niecie

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
