Hi had my RNY on the 28th too.  Thankfully I must have been quite unusual as I was not at all nervous just excited. 
Well thankfully it went well but am now having a bit of trouble.  I find cold drinks painful and have been sick several times now.  I feel that I could end up being phobic of food and drink at this rate! 
I hope you have been fortunate not to have had this or anyother bad experiences

I would appreciate it if you could send me your shake recipes.  I am having a hard time trying to get enough protein.  Thanks

 Hey everyone!

How are you all doing? I'm down 41#s now but this week hit a plateau. Hope to get out and walk or do some Leslie Sansone dvds to get the scale moving again. Also, more water and more protein!

I had my RNY on Oct 25th as well.  How are you doing now?

So glad I had the surgery while it's cool outside. No sweating on the surgical sites and it gives me time to work up the amount of fluids I can take in. Anyone else glad they're getting their surgery done before the holiday binge?
Most of the painful burping is gone...Whew...Ok onto the intense smells...does anyone else whose had anykind of WLS...did your sense of smell change? Did it go back to pre-op "normal?" I smell things so intensely like I did when I was pregnant w/o the nausea part though! Smelt lasagna and it was as if I could smell each ingrediant-So Savory, that it felt as if I'd eaten it and was more satisfied than if I'd actually eaten it pre-op. Alas tho, everyone's breathe smells like garlic esp. my smooching hubby! Any similar experiences out there? I want to NOT scrunch my nose subconciously when he zooms in
