9 days post-op from RNY !

I had the RNY surgery 9 days ago and I am doing fine! It was done at Emory Hospital by Dr. John Sweeney. Going into the OR he thought he would have to do it open. I am excited to say that he did it macroscopic! There was a 25 percent chance that it was going to be open and he told me that he would not compromise my health just for the lap.! He is a very compassionate man and his bedside manner is WONDERFUL! I am a nurse and he has it all!

I am now in the "Puree Phase of the diet and everything is going great! I down 14 pounds!

My lost butterfly is spreading it's wings and learning to fly a whole new way!

Happy New Year to everyone!

Congratulation....just think what  will be like. 

I have never been so excited about the changing of a year!

Super!! Im sohappy for you.

Thanks for the support, it helps! Happy New Year!

Congratulations!  I'm happy to hear that everything is going well for you!  

Looks like you need a "Congrats" also!  So far, I am doing well and filling up prety fast! It is amazing! I was a true volume eater and now just thinking about the amount of food I use to eat, just makes me sick!  What phase of the "Diet are you on now? I started the soft phase that will go on for the next 19 days!

Thank you!  I use to eat a LOT too! And like you...thinking about it sometimes makes me nauseous!  I dont like eating around other people either because watching them stuff their faces makes me nauseous too!

I can eat whatever I want now.  But, I find myself eating the same things all the time!  Lots of deli meat, chili, cheese, chicken legs.....when I try something new...I'm always nervous about it!  Food being stuck doesnt feel too good!  I have been VERY lucky that I havent actually vomitted! I am still trying to SLOW DOWN when I eat....but it's not easy sometimes!

Good luck to you!  I wish you much success!
