Hi all....I had my surgery on the 25th of July and am doing really good! I healed nicely and went back to work on light duty after 2 and a half weeks. My surgeon and other docs are happy with my healing and progress so far. It's difficult for me to remember to eat slow and with small bites and to sip not gulp my water/drinks, but I'm working on it!

How are the rest of you doing?

I had Gastric Sleeve on July 25 also. I had a post op infection that put me back in the hospital for 5 days a week after my surgery.

I am recovering but still on antibiotics. I've lost 34 pounds so far.

I'm another person who had surgery on 7/25. Doing well, still some lingering pain but nothing that needs tylenol let alone opiates. Still feeling tired and a little wore down. Down 30lbs!

How's everyone doing? My RNY was July 25, 2017 ... When I began this journey in January I weighed 244 ... I'm down 44 lbs since January, 36 since 2 wks before surgery and 27 since surgery ... I definitely consider myself a slow loser and am going to have to work for every ounce I have to lose ... how's everyone else feeling or doing?

My surgery was the same day. I was 402 on surgery day and today I''m 333. 69 pounds down and more to go. But I am happy with my results, as you should be pleased with yours.

      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.
