Dec 8th Patients...How you all doin??

Just wanna see how the rest of my day sista and bros are doing...

I'm lovin this!  Have only gotten bad urges when watch tv and see commercials for burgers!  Then we just flip the channel and lo and behold, there is a victorias secret commercial...not hungry any more!!  haha

I'm very happy with things so far, down 18 lbs, energy is not too bad, however i do have these dark circles under my eyes, i don't loike them.  Still a struggle to get in all the liquids, and am on full fluid diet till shristmas day.


Lets get updating everyone!!  and any helpful tips you may have...

Glad you're doing well and congrats on being 18lbs down. Mine was the 11th and I'm still really struggling with energy.  Am anxious to see how much I've lost today when I meet w/ the nutritionist.

well i had my surgery the 8th also. I am down 16lbs. I have gotten those bad urges too, but they quickly pass. i am able to be on puree diet this week but haven't been able to tolerate more that 1 tablespoon at a time. i am still tired all the time. I have to go back to work on saturday and hope i can make the whole day. each day is a better day though.

I had my RNY on 12/8 too.

Down 15 lbs (240 to 225).  I am also tired a lot.  I thought it was just me.  I was taking the liquid percoset until yesterday morning, now only as needed.  Seems like only if I do a lot, then I need it still.

I think I am healing well.  Diabetes didn't go away, so it looks like I really am a type I like we had thought.  Oh well, I didn't let myself get my hopes up.

Wounds are healing pretty good I guess, got the staples out on Friday, and felt like garbage for a few days afterward.  Everyone in the office kept saying how much better I would feel with them out.  WRONG.

Hope everyone else is doing well too.  I'm trying to milk my time off as much as possible, right now I'm scheduled to go back on 1/12 and I will be trying to extend that a week if possible.  I think I will work the tired angle.

Bye for now!

I was done on 12/9..  am doing pretty well.. sure I don't have my stamina, but I have been out, taking rests while my sister shopped... and sipping my water... I have had about half a scrambled egg (yolk and white separated, just in case)... a little cottage cheese (easier on my baby pouch than the egg), and some plain yogurt (also easier on "Babe" than the egg)...

I surely am not geting all my protein - am using bullets but am waiting for a refill order! - but I AM getting vitamins and  calcium in..

One day at a time gang!  One day at time!

I think I am doing ok. I am getting in my protein and mostly getting in the liquids. I'm on the pureed food stage for another 2 weeks and so far, nothing I have put down has disagreed with me. My only issue is, directly underneath one of my incisions is a lump. About the size of a ping pong ball and it HURTS! My first follow-up is next week with the surgeon. Not sure what it is; it seems to high to be a hernia but it's weird.

i had my surgert dec 11, lots of complications. came back to winnipeg on the 18th and was admitted here till jan 1. i am eating new things , some i can tolerate some i cant. i have lost 24 lbs. I have no energy, get very dizzy. but i still have my staples and tube from stomach. not sure what will be done . my incision on the inside is open a bit. there is a gap between my new stomach and old one and things pass threw to each other. going back to the surgeon here on the 9 of jan to see if they have to operate to close the gap. i wish i had never done this. i begged them to reverse it if they do have to operate. they say they cant.   guess see what happens on the 9th

oh my!  That is terrible experience!

I'll be praying for you! 

Did you do that gross drink test with the x-ray machine before you left Med Hat?  Did it all look fine at that point?

Take it easy!

Well I hope everyone is doing well.  And I'll be praying for you pinky. Im doing okay, havent weighed since the first wk visit.  I cant seem to drink all the water Im suppose to be drinking. And for some reason I can eat or should I say drink soup and about 20 to 30 minutes later Im hungry again!   Is that normal!  I feel like Im constantly wanting to nibble on things.  Is it a mind deal or what?  Its been almost a month in 3 days.
