Surgery was October 15



Recommended Posts

I had my Roux en y on October 15th. My first weigh in was today and I'm down 25 lbs! We don't have a scale at home so I have been unable to weigh myself but that's how I wanted it. There are so few surprises in life anymore. Now that I've had this weigh in im off to get scales. So far things have gone pretty well. I had a drain for the first 10 days and having it removed was no picnic. I've not thrown up and don't plan on it if I can help it! Started out on this journey on May 26th at 387. On surgery date I was at 380 now I'm down to 355 as of today!

CONGRATULATIONS! Great job, stay on program. I too don't want to get sick. I have gotten close, I have learned that its because I drank to much. The other is eating or drinking too fast. Make sure you are taking your time! I wish you luck with your journey. Enjoy the freedom losing the weight will bring!

Congratulations! Keep up the amazing work. I can't wait to see how far you go in a year. Having a scale is a blessing and a curse. Just be sure you try and only weigh yourself once a week. This will keep you from falling into the traps that a lot of post surgery patients succumb to. At first it is exciting to see weight loss every day, but as things progress and your losses start leveling out it can get very frustrating to not see weight loss every day. Just something to keep in mind now.

      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.

        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.

      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!
