I had my Lap. RNY 9-6-07 & I have lost as of today 27lbs! Yeah..

Good morning, I had my surgery on 9-13 and have lost almost 23 pounds so far! I am so excited, yet I also know I am in for a stall here pretty soon! Have a great Friday! Holly

Hi Rocco! I am so glad your pain finally went away, that alone would make me exhausted and less than fun to be around! Great job with the fluids, I wouldn't worry too much about the food part yet, your pouch is still healing and I understand that if you eat dense foods, you eat less of them. 20 pounds is awesome! especially since you lost so much pre-op. Good luck and I hope you continue to feel good! Holly

I had my open RNY on sept 6th and have been the exact same way. The first few weeks I had to go in and get extra fluids too. I am on Reglan which helps some but the last few weeks I have ate pretty much nothing. I continue to drink but only cuz I know I have to but I dont get in near what I'm suppose to. Next week they are going to do a scope to check my opening size to make sure that I dont have a stricture, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that with the scope they will find what the problem is and get it taken care of. I have lost 39 pounds and would love to be able to enjoy that instead of wishing I had never did this.

Hello Rocco, 3 weeks of surgery pain that sounds brutal. Sounds like you are doing good with your liquids though. I seem to be getting about 50 oz of liquid now and I know 64 oz would be much better. I know what you mean about worrying if you are eating too much, I worry too. Even though I am barely eating anything it seems like sometimes I can eat more than a 1/4 cup and I worry about that.
