I cant believe I'm 2 and a half weeks post OP!



Recommended Posts

6/24/19 was my rny surgery date. The first 2 weeks was emotionally hard for me. Thinking of all the things I can’t have. Not being able to go out to eat like I used to. Just feeling sorry for myself. But since I have been advanced to the next stage of my post op diet I feel much better physically and emotionally. I have eaten some things I am not supposed to. Even though it’s just a little nibble I feel so bad and get upset with myself. I feel like I’m not losing as fast as others but in reality I think I am doing ok. My clothes don’t fit me anymore and I have way more energy. I’m am starting to accept my new life with my new pouch. It’s been a roller coaster of emotions in a short time but I’m glad I went through with it.

I'm 11 days post op and still on full liquid diet til July 20. Yesterday was a tough day for me where I just missed food, biting, and chewing. I got through it with warm broth and sf popsicles, but couldn't stomach another Protein Shake. I'm hoping things will get better once i can have puree foods.

It's exciting, isn't it? I'm 7 months post-op sleeve now and so happy I did the surgery.

I'm 12 days out, and weight isn't falling off me fast, but then I didn't expect it to. At least it's a steady downward trend

I'm having no problems with anything, though I am tired of shakes. 2 a day is fine, but that 3rd one is not pleasant. Mashed potatoes with shaved ham tomorrow though, as I move into purees!!

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
