My journey began in April 2016



Recommended Posts

I met with my surgeon in April and had my RNY on Sept 27, 2016. Yesterday made 3 wks post-op! I'm so thrilled that I had the surgery. I have tough days dealing with nausea and fatigue. I'm so thankful I haven't vomited one though! Here's my progress:

May: 264

Day of surgery: 240

Today: 218

Not sure if the pics are attached or not. But I feel great and can't wait to keep going with my journey!

You are doing absolutely amazing!!! Looking awesome! May I asked what made you choose RNY? Just trying to get an idea of both sides of the RNY or Sleeve patients for my own personal use. Good luck and keep up the GREAT work!!

I had a lap band in 2008 and had many issues with it. I met w/ my surgeon to discuss options. Having gained the weight back I had lost 8 yrs prior, I wanted to be sure I didn't do it again. I chose RNY because of the dumping syndrome. It may sound crazy to some. But I wanted to always have that in my mind to keep me on track and avoiding the fatty or sweet foods. I knew with the sleeve that it would be much easier to fall back into old habits & I want this change to be for life. Also, I knew I'd lose more w/ the RNY. I have MS and 3 herniated discs and getting the weight off is crucial to my mobility and health.

      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.
