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.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

    • buildabetteranna

      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!
