Kaseyn2boys 69 Posted August 12, 2018 I had surgery the 8th. I thought i would be getting around a little better, but there is this one part of my stomach, maybe where the hernia was, that is still killing me! I try walking, but can't make it too far because of the pain. One step at a time I know. Everything else is going great though. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Good luck to you too! I hope it goes well. I am nervous and a bit scared too. My hubby had his surgery in May and I just hope mine goes as well as his did.

TaylorMade4One 105 Posted August 13, 2018 Well, tomorrow’s the big day! RNY bypass first thing in the morning Today is day three of my liquid diet. It’s not as bad as I thought it would be. I’m not hungry, I just want to chew something and Jello just doesn’t cut it. I was planning on sleeping the day away so tomorrow would come and I could just get this over with, but my back just isn’t going to let that happen. So, I guess I’ll try and keep busy. Heyyy surgery buddy!!! Tomorrow is our big day!!! Can you believe it??Sent from my SM-G928T using BariatricPal mobile app Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
