32 female in Cali looking for a RNY buddy



Recommended Posts

I came across this site looking for some sort of support. I had rny gastric bypass on 6/10 so I'm fairly new to this. Looking for someone to bounce ideas off of and share experiences about our WLS Journey. Don't have to be close by to text each other. I love to be positive and try to motivate those around me and i do believe sharing and learning from peers will help a great deal. Anyone out there? Lol.

Hi there, I remember those days like they were yesterday. I am 7 years post op and would be happy to correspond with you about all of this. I needed a big support team when I first started, its a lot to handle and take on. Feel free to message me anytime!

I had RNY on 2/23 and have been on and off this site, hoping to connect with some like minded people for support. I am 34 (for another month, anyway) and have 2 little ones at home, and would love to have a couple of buddies to help keep me honest through this process. Kika - if you're still looking for a buddy, I am here!

      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.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
