I'm down 20 pounds as of today. I'm limited on exercise because I have a broken foot, so I'm losing slower than I'd like. I'm looking to join a gym near me with a pool so I can get some exercise that way. I'm following my docs orders too.

Hi.. I'm only down 10 pounds too since my RNY, It's been slow and I'm walking too. Going back to my yoga in the next week or so and adding the gym. The surgeon said 6/8 weeks recovery.

My surgery is schedules for July 25th! It's almost here! I am required to be on a low carb/high Protein diet for these 2 weeks before surgery. The primary reason for this is to shrink the liver some before surgery. Good luck to all here....Let's do this!!

Hi!! I'm new on the app, but have had my last appt and been submitted to insurance. I have a tentative RNY surgery date for August 7th. Being able to see everyone's experiences is very helpful! Any buddies for August 7th?

Stephi Congratulations!!! How are you doing?

Hi there! I'm doing well. The first couple of days were not the best. Gas was the worst! Since then it's been okay. I did the Optifast shake for 3 weeks before surgery, so afterwards Protein Shakes were honestly making me sick. As of Monday I was able to start some purées, so that helped a lot!
Where are you at in the process?

      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.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
