New to the web site

Hello Everyone,

My name is Tee, I'm new to this web site as far asposting, I've been reading for a while. Can anyone tell me of any day by day journals from someone who had RNY ?

Welcome Tee! I too am fairly new to posting & have been "lurking" for about 3 years. Hopefully someone can share a day-to-day journal with you. Best of luck on your journey.

I agree with BM.  Pam Tremble has a great website and blog.  She's a wealth of knowledge and I've learned a lot from her (as well as others on this site)

Anyone that wants to ask a Question of the Day is free to do so.  Go for it.  You'll learn much, even stuff you don't want to know!

Welcome to OH.

Welcome Tee!  I have just started posting here too---my surgery is August 19th so I am a little bit behind you!  I have found everyone to be nice and very helpful on the board.  I'm struggling again today with my liquid diet---does Hurley have you do it for a full month?  Sparrow does and it seems a bit extreme :)

Good luck with your surgery on Tuesday...keep us posted!

Have a great day!

ps
I grew up in Fenton!

Hello,

Jan thanks for the welcome .

No Hurley only had me do the liquid diet for 1 week. ( because my BMI isnt very high . I'm just at 38.5) thanks god. and I'm also able to eat, celery, cucumbers and cauliflower and if feeling weak I can have a dannon light and fit smoothie. Found all this info 4 days into my diet so ,if  your only able to have the liquids, I feel for ya cause its aweful I stayed home and was depressed for the first two days. I went and go tmy vitamis today and started taking them. They taste pretty good. Its from walgreens and one vitamin is all I need to take it has EVERYTHING IN IT THAT I NEED. the dietitian recommended them to us .... 

As of yesterday I had lost 7 pounds only doing the liquid diet for 3 days. I'm able to fit in a smaller size pants already. Yippy.

So please tell me , post op what movement causes the worst pain and how m=bd is the pain and how long does it last. ?

Not all to happy to hear I'll have a nasogastric tube inmy nose down to my stomach the first 24 hrs after surgery : I guess its to make sure no acid gets into my stomach until the leak test is done. Foley catherter I can live without too . Thank god all that stuff is put in after I'm asleep in the O.R.

HI Tee and welcome to the MI boards!

I went thru Hurley and was trying so hard to get to a BMI of 39.9 before surgery so I would only have to do one week.

I didn't make it as I got to take a cancellation.  I had to start on the 2 week Liquid diet if I wanted to have surgery early.  So I did

The celery, cucumbers and cauliflower is new.  Must be part of the new diet program!
