My surgery is tomorrow and I’m hoping to go back to work Monday the 20th. My surgery was Dec 4. I only stayed one night in the hospital. Was able to get up and walk, no problems. The first couple of days were a blur. Once I got home I almost panicked not knowing what to do, even though I had prepared. I was sore for several days. Still sore, not as bad. Dr did have to repair a hernia that we didn't know about. Now I have occasional cramping, struggle with some nausea, but my zofran takes care of that quickly. Finding myself being a little weak. I think most of this is normal. Follow up with doc Tuesday. Stats: Sw: 256 Surgery date 229 Cw: 219 By the way, I gained about 6 or 7 lbs while in the hospital, so don't let that freak you out! 2 ShannonCorbin and huskymama reacted to this Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
ShannonCorbin 11 Posted December 12, 2021 Thanks, I remember that I lost nothing for a full week after my original surgery, so I’m good. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

BRNYK 1 Posted December 14, 2021 I'm scheduled for RNY bypass on December 22nd! Currently suffering through the liquid diet and counting down the days! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Andie Brown 1 Posted December 24, 2021 I'm post op 8 days and I'm really struggling with craving to just eat something since I am still only on liquids. I just want something to sink my teeth into and chew. Anyone else experience this or have tips? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
BRNYK 1 Posted December 24, 2021 I had my RNY three days ago and everything went well. I’m still really sore, but the pain is manageable with pain meds. Still belching gas from surgery out, and hoping that will stop soon. I’ve been content just drinking Water. I don’t feel any hunger at all, and that’s been a relief since I was starving during the 2 week Preop liquid diet. I would like to know when the pain subsides. Everyone keeps saying it gets a little better each day, but when is it gone? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Jodyco 1 Posted December 26, 2021 I had a full gastric bypass over 20 yrs ago and have struggled to eat any meat. I needed to lose almost 100 lbs because of heart issues and that worked out well, but have since gained just a few back. I am now losing so much hair because I can’t get enough Protein. I am doing Keto because it makes me feel better not to eat breads and Beans. Anybody struggling with this that has had the surgery a while ago? I can’t drink enough protein. My family dr doesn’t seem to know much about more than broken bones and colds. HELP, I’m going to go bald if I can’t fix this. Any suggestions for my doctor?
