I am a week post op now!
Hello again everyone! I had my RNY last Wednesday at OHSU and boy what a ride! If the scale is not lying I have lost 12 pounds in a week! OMG. I was 360 in January
and got down to 292 for surgery check in.
I am super proud of that accomplishment alone, but to finally be on the losers bench officially is awesome! Hope everyone is well!!


Woo-hoo, that's super! I went in the day before you and I thought about you frequently; I would have come by and said hi, but didn't know where you were. (I was in 14-44A.).
My loss is about the same as yours, so I'm hoping for 20 lbs down when I see Dr O. on Monday.
Good luck; don't let the protein shake diet get you down. I'm hitting the wall on getting in the protein via shakes. My Unjury order won't be here until Tuesday!

I was in 14-36 at OHSU so we were neighbors :) I had been quite constipated so I was told to take milk of magnesia yesterday and did. OH BOY watch out...I have had major "runs" for 2 days....Ugh...well I guess it's good I went but dang, I am afraid to move half the time. I was able to cut myself off the oxycodone which is awesome but I have major leg probs in my left leg and it is killing me. I would usually take ibuprofen for the pain, but I know thats a no no. I took a dose of my liquid happiness tonight and am hoping it kicks in soon. Otherwise I have no clue what to do for the pain. Does anyone have any suggestions?? I am dying here. Thanks for all the well wishes!!

I am SO HAPPY for you!!
Welcome to the loser's bench with wide arms!
You have just made the BEST change in your life, although there may be times when you questions it, you will be amazed with the changes 100 times over in the next year.
Friday will be my one year surgiversary and it seems to have gone by so fast, but at the same time seems like 10yrs ago...lol. I look at who I am today and don't even recognize the woman I was even just 1 yr ago, though I know she's still there.
If there is anything I can do to help or any encouragement you need, I am just a message away.
CONGRATS girlfriend!!!!
Take care and hugs ~ Tomi
