Anyone else having RNY on the 22, or that week???
I'm having my surgery on the 20th. the liquid diet has been a struggle to say the least. Today I take my son to his grandparents house and he'll stay there till me and my husband get home from the hospital. I'm going to miss him but he this part of the reason I'm doing this. I hope everything goes well! My surgeon is excellent. I know he will do a good job. Just Nervous.
Ok, so i have been a total slacker when it came to posting. I really meant for all of us April surgeries to unite, but life gets in the way sometimes...
I have been very lucky with no big complications. At week 2, I tore some scar tissue, but recoved quickly. Went back to work after 30 days (our disability department follow some strict guidelines).
I am happy with weight loss, but there are challenges also. I am extremely happy everytime I do something that I could not do before, like walk the grocery store all by myself or not have to sit and rest every 2 minutes while walking...
One big challenge I have is getting bored with the food...anyone come up with any creative ideas? I found I like to chew food, so sugar free jello, pudding andf yogurt are not my favs and I crave meat. Probably becasue I am not gettign enough protein.
Also, my hair began to fall out, first a few strands here and there, now seems like fistfuls (I am exaggerating)
So, how is everyone else doing 2+ months out??
