Surgery went well!



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on Monday (4/28). My first 24 hours were pretty sore and I experienced a lot of nausea. I got to come home last night. I am not sure if it is because I am home now, but wow I am feeling so much better.

I am kind of afraid to drink too much, but am kind of just sipping away at my Water. I figure tomorrow morning I will start logging everything and trying to slowly push my Protein Shakes.

I am just so happy surgery is over and I can begin my new journey! :-)

Congratulations. I had a RNY Gastric Bypass 11 months ago, and I remember the first few weeks were rough. There was so much complexity built into the meal plan, Protein supplements, medicine, Vitamins, Water intake, etc. But it does get better. I reached my happy state at 6 months, when everything started to work and all the problems melted away.

Congratulations on your journey to better health.

To help get your Protein in may I suggest using unflavored Protein in crystal light.

I also used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken broth to help get my protein in because it has 20g of protein in each serving.

Good luck in what you are doing for yourself.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
