I am a retired nurse and spent most of my professional life working in labor and delivery. I cannot tell you how many times women get on the phone and talk about the terrible, near death, experience they had. I would just snicker because I had been with them and they had short labors, easy deliveries and no complications. I am not minimizing the pain of L & D but there is some gratification they get out of the exaggeration. My point is there are those that love to tell horror stories. Just click off and move on.

Just had my RNY this morning. I was definitely prepared to experience a lot of pain and discomfort. But let me tell y’all...i feel amazing!! Hardly any pain, no nausea, not much gas. So those who have surgeries coming up, DONT BE AFRAID! I am your reassurance that not every story is a horror story. Be brave and remember that it’s so worth it! So blessed!


I'm sitting in the hospital waiting to be discharged. I had no pain, other than feeling like i did too many sit ups, from the rny. I will stay in Mexico a few more days, then flying home to Seattle. So ready to be back to some sort of normal routine. Im so bored lying in bed at the hospital.

Thank you so much for this. I have surgery on the 23rd and have been having the jitters.

Mine was Tuesday and it was not that bad. The nurse messed with my IF and that hurt worse
Occasionally I do get a pain in my left side. I had more pain when I had the band 11 years ago.

      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.
