Hey all. Just an update on first day back to work. I was tired. And came back to mass emails and stuff to do at work. Went to dinner with my bff and an out of town friend. The bff knows about surgery but the other doesn’t. Had a little smooth Tomato Soup and brought the rest home.

Definitely more tired than normal, but I did power through. I have already been to town a few times and walking in Target and such since 6/7.

Thank you! I guess I am scared of the pain I’ll wake up to and I don’t want to take to many pain killers (I’m recovered) so just a bunch of emotions thank you for being such a positive light for me

Good luck to all of you having surgery today and to those who have returned to work, stay strong; you have this. I had my surgery on 1st June and am still feeling pretty good; not in any pain, am driving and can move around easily. I commenced a pureed diet right out of surgery and it will be this way for a full month - its ok but would like some texture! Over the last coupe of days, the very thought of food has left me feeling nauseous as has some smells. I have been advised this is not uncommon for bypass patients. we're doing great xx

Hi June friends! I’m having RNY June 2nd. I had a lapband for about ten years and just had that removed a few weeks ago due to lack of success and negative side effects. Now I have no restriction, no side effects, and feel like I can’t stop eating, ugh! Surgery day can’t come soon enough.



Good luck to you all!

I too had a lap band for 18 years no success and many complications. New doc sent me to Bariatric surgeon, many tests, counseling and he said, let’s get the band out and do an RNY bypass. Wonderful doctors here in Temple Tx. Woke sore and in a bit of pain, but not horrible. The constant pain from the band was gone! I feel so much better.

      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.
