First Post - Revised Sept. 1st

[Sleeved2RNY 10]

Hi everyone! I just wanted to introduce myself to the forum. :-)

My Story:

After being sleeved on 8/12/13, I had complications with nonstop vomiting. No matter what I ate or drank, it would get stuck and come right back up. A balloon dilation, 2 surgeries, and after being hospitalized for 2 weeks, I was finally revised to RNY last Sunday morning.

Even though this wasn't my initial plan, I'm still upbeat and looking forward to dropping these pounds!!! *Whoop*

Good luck to you all!!!

HW: 317

Pre-Op: 298

Goal: 170

Totally agree with soccermomma73, you do deserve a break, so sleeve2RNY keep that positive attitude you are an inspiration to those of us that are having surgery. Just keep us posted and how you are doing.

I surely will! Unfortunately, I had to be apart of the small percent of WLS community to have complications. Its just a few extra bumps in the road.

That's great! We have to keep in touch. I feel fine for the most part. I had pain on my left side, but regular Tylenol helps with that. I'm fine with getting my liquids in...I'm just having trouble getting in Protein. But, it's getting easier.

How are you feeling?

I"m tired all the time. And I find I have to move slower than normal. I'm also taking tylenol to help with incisional pain and it helps.

As for eating, I've been on clear fluids all along. But as of an hour ago, i've started experimenting with my first Protein shake. I want to start incorporating full liquids and thicker Soups into my diet. I don't really have any issues with drinking Water which is great.

And yes we absolutely have to keep in touch.
