Fran B had surgery with Dr. Villares on July 26th. Her surgery went well, but she has been kind of down emotionally since surgery. She wanted to go to a nursing home so they could assist her in recovery after she was discharged from hospital and she went to one for a few days. Then she went back to Dr. Villares this week for a surgical follow up appt and he removed the drain from her and readmitted her to hospital for dehydration. She also might have an infection - they are looking into it now. She needs our support and prayers! Please post to her surgery page below and her daughter (who had RNY last year) will print off and take to her in hospital this weekend. Let's fill this page up with support. No need to reply to this message, just click link below and post her your support.

I read posts like yours and I feel SO bad for you! I'm 3 days ahead of you and I have no problems eating anything,never really have either.I'm down from 333 to 255 this morning. I have a friend that had surgery a month ahead of me and she's lost 100lbs but she had the same eating problems you do...it is normal to be that way in some cases. I think as lucky as I've been with being able to eat anything I've tried it isn't really the "normal" reaction so many have. The bright light is my friend is now able to eat more things and is feeling MUCH better about having had the surgery. I'm sure you'll get there the same as she did! Good luck and hang in there Cathy

Carol, I am in the same place as you it seems. I had my surgery on the 27th, down 70 pounds and feel like crap most days *lol*. I can't eat hardly anything...no milk, eggs, chicken, tuna, pasta, rice.....pretty much most foods. I have been living on crackers and cheese,sunflower seeds and soups pretty much. I am really sick of feeling bad......hopefully it will get better soon!!!! Best of luck to you. Shree

Thanks...I know in my head it will get better, because I do have good days, but Im sick this already. So much for patience...never my strongest virtue!

Carol I had my surgery on 4-12-05 and it does get better. Just hang in there. I know some people are more sensitive to things then others but it will get better. Have you tried other things besides eggs and cheese? at this point I try anything except sweets. I don't even want to know what dumping feels like. It's all trial and error unfortunately for us the error part hurts and makes us feel sick. It will get better though. Hope this helps some have a great day.
