A few days away for my RNY!



Recommended Posts

Hello gentlemen!

Happy to see there is a guy's forum on here, seems all the others are dominated by the "other-half" [emoji23]

I'm scheduled for my RNY this coming Monday 7/12. Excited, nervous and all those other emotions that come with it.. I'll be posting my progress as I go, as I'm sure I'll need some advice from our seasoned WLS

But at the moment, I've been on the liquid diet now for about a week and a 1/2 and have noticed issues getting an erection the last couple of days. Anyone else experiance this while on liquids only? If so did it all clear up post op? It's pretty troubling to say the least.

Thanks a lot!

No issues other than the norm with the liquid diet. I do have issues from time to time but I think it's due to the meds I'm on. Killed my libido and when I was drinking it didn't last long when it did work.

I'm 2 days post op, had my VSG on the 12th this past thursday. (Think you typed your numbers wrong). I think do to the trauma of the surgery or the pain pills or combo of everything, Junior has no interest in coming out to play at all. BUT from all I read and heard from other WLS male patients that all goes away and it's like we are teenagers again. Can't wait for that stage. I know the wife won't be happy.....

Maybe it's just the emotions of what's to come. I wouldn't worry about it to much. Give it time and see how things go. If you have issues down the line bring it up with your PCP. Good luck with it all, especially your surgery and recovery!!!

      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.
