Hi everyone, I'm new!

I'm Michelle. I will be having RNY on May 9th at NEMC. I'm so excited and nervous. I have 13 more pounds to lose before then. What's the 1st week at home like? So happy I found this site!!!!

Glad to have you with us. First week lots of clear liquids, some discomfort,remember you've just had major surgery. Tired and sometimes not hungry enough to eat, make sure you get your liquids 64oz is an ammount you should try and get to. Keep up with your protein as well, its a journey we all have taken and one you not be alone with. This site has taken many travelers down its path and as far as I know never had any major problems. Lots of people ready to jump in and help!!! Hope that helps some

Thanks Howard.

Welcome! I'm 4 days post-op. I had the lapband done at Catholic Medical Center. I feel great! Where is Greenland?? Lise

Hi Lise! I'm so glad that you're feeling well! Greenland is next to Portsmouth. Michelle

Hi, Michelle, Welcome! I'm pre-op like you and your surgery date is about 6 weeks before mine so I will be asking you for pointers! With best wishes, Anne
