Hello!

[ChatCat 24]

Am brand new here. Had laparoscopic RNY 4 weeks ago today. I live in Oregon, I am married and work full time. Looking forward to getting to know you all.

Welcome. How is everything going?

[ChatCat 24]

Everything is going real well. I am still figuring out the magic to becoming "regular" every day so I don't end up having stomach pain that I have had and I got a case of hives too. But those are manageable things, I am feeling awesome and walking every day at least a mile but usually 2. I am so glad I did this and thankful I was able to lose the weight I had to lose to get to the starting gate!

That's awesome to hear! I'm scheduled for tomorrow. Stories like yours give me excitement!

[ChatCat 24]

Wow! Tomorrow will be a great new start for you. I am so glad I had this surgery, not one regret (and I am asked that a lot!). So far my experience has been nothing but positive, yes a few bumps in the road, but worth it. My incisions are healed for the most part and I am back in business! Good luck tomorrow. It will be great!

It's been 4 days. I actually got most of my liquids in yesterday, but it was a chore. I get to start full liquids today. Ehh.,. Did you have trouble with anything? The gas is horrible. I'm just trying to walk a lot. What was your starting weight? Mine was 227, 219 pre op, 224... Current ( I think I still have all that stuff they pump into you at the hospital).

I started at 324 back in Feb. and I lost 23lbs prior to surgery and I am down another 30 today. So I have lost 53 total. I had gas pain as well but I got up and walked a lot and it went away after 4 or 5 days. Takes a while but once it is gone, you will feel better.

I had no trouble with liquids. I drank a lot of Water before (gallon a day) so I love to drink Water. My only problems have been getting my bowel movements regular (using Probiotics for that) and I have hives which I think are caused by stress. Other than feeling tired some days, I feel really good. Hope you get feeling better soon and just drink as much as you can. SF Jello and Popsicles really help and count as fluids!
