Hey Junsters, now that we're all done (besides 3 happening tomorrow)...
I had lap RNY on 6/20, and have lost a total of 35 lb, including my 2 wk pre-op liquid diet. I was in the hospital however for 10 days because I had internal swelling post-op and couldn't have anything by mouth for 4 days, then had a post-op infection in my lungs. On day 6 post-op I had a stroke in the hospital. I am now home and feeling pretty good, just taking one day at a time. Liquids and pureed food are going great, just slowly recovering my strength.

WOW Anne, I'm so sorry for all that you have been through. I'm so happy that you are beginning to heal and get on the road to being a healthy you. Thank the Lord that it doesn't look like there was any permanent damage from the stroke.
You take care of yourself and continue to update us on your progress!

I had my RNY on 6/26/07 - it was a hand-assisted lap and I also had my gall bladder out and hiatal hernia fixed. I would like to know how many others had extra procedures done? Thought I was going to die in the hospital - my pain pump did not work for 5 hours the night of the surgery, second night my IV leaked. Was very glad to get home the 28th. Once home, however, I felt so good I overdid and felt bad again on the 30th.. Doing much better now.
Started at 232
After preop diet was at 226
Just weighed myself today and am at 216.
So 16 pounds lost already.
I am not toooo tired of the protein shakes yet, but having trouble getting enough water in me now that I have discovered this wonderful website!! Thank you all who post here for the great encouragement!
