Hey there,

I had my surgery on 12/21/21. I am plugging along 1st week post. A lot of pain on my left upper and lower abdomen. My doctor said that is where the majority of the manipulation was. Each day is better. Already down 10 pounds. Anyone else having pain in their right side post op?

So I had a RNY revision on 12/13.
The first time I had surgery, I lost zero lbs in the first week and then it started falling off.
This time I lost 10 lbs preop diet, 5 lbs in the first week. It has now been almost 2 weeks since I have lost anything. I am using a food tracking ap and I am between 800-900 calories a day. Trying to push it up to 1000 - 1200 if I can. I feel better, my mom and boyfriend say my face looks thinner, but no scale movement. Frustrating.

Yes I do and it goes into my back. My surgeon said that because that is where they remove the stomach that he sutures the abdomen wall and muscle so that it doesn’t end up herniated later in at some point. I was the Dec 22nd it’s better every day except for sneezing or coughing. I’ll be glad when it’s better.

My bypass was 12/21/21. I am on my “soft food phase” and relearning how to listen to my body!

      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.
