Steven1954 89 Posted September 25, 2016 @Kittymom@wendilin. had my surgery on Sept 14 th. No real complications or anything to make me regret it. Surgery was on a Wednesday. Went home on Saturday. For the most part it was pain free. You wake up drugged. Over next two days you drink an once or two at a time and walk You may gain weight as I did from IV. This weight comes off in next week. as you did the pre op diet just another couple weeks of liquids and your new life begins. I hope this relieves some of your anxieties. Best of luck. s Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonnieBob 29 Posted September 25, 2016 Had a rough morning, I guess it has all hit me, that I'm having WLS tomorrow, my emotions are all over the place. I question, should I do this, I don't want to, then I do. I'm pretty sure this is normal. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App I feel the same, my surgery is Wednesday. I've been able to lose 40 pounds on my own, so I'm questioning if I really need it. But then I think that I do need it, but then I worry ......hope all goes well for you tomorrow!

Wendilin I had my RNY done last Monday and was discharged late Tuesday afternoon. No issues before, during or after. My bariatric team has been first rate! The doctor has been doing these procedures for years and has developed a bariatric bible for his patients to follow and refer to throughout the process. He is very thorough and conservative in his approach. Trust your bariatric team to help you get to where you've always wanted to go but we're unable to get there. Whenever I started to have a doubt, I reflected back onto a statement made by my primary doctor: "I can't remember ever treating a 300 lb 80 yearold."

cheneisew 52 Posted September 28, 2016 Dear post op week 2, You gave been far more difficult than week 1.

Sirmikael 59 Posted September 28, 2016 I'm two days out, so I'm curious as to what has been more difficult? At this point, I'm worried much less about weight loss, and more about hydration and recovery. Sent from my Nexus 5X using the BariatricPal App Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

RonnieBob 29 Posted September 29, 2016 Hydration for me Sent from my SAMSUNG-SM-G920A using the BariatricPal App To get proper hydration, I've found it helpful to use Propel throughout the day. 2 bottles provide almost 38oz and 3 1 oz shots of ProSource liquid Protein (45 grams total) and 8 oz of 100% apple juice provides base of 49 oz hydration. That is supplemented by sugar-free Gelatin, sugar-free popsicles and Decaf coffee to increase the hydration level. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

At this point, I'm worried much less about weight loss, and more about hydration and recovery. Sent from my Nexus 5X using the BariatricPal App I'm also two days out and besides the gas pain and feeling like I've done a thousand crunches, I feel pretty good. I am definitely not looking at the scale yet, and am just focused on getting what I need in my body. Good luck to everyone! It will all be worth it! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
RonnieBob 29 Posted September 30, 2016 (edited) I just got home from my first post-op followup on my Sept 19th RNY. I was given the go ahead to move to phase 2 of the post-op diet and discovered I've lost 9.2 lbs since the morning of surgery. New weight is 383. Total loss from high point of 428 is 45 pounds. To this point it has been a matter of just putting one step in front of the other and moving forward. Wishing all a fantastic weekend .
