RNYGB Tuesday - Sugar Free Clear Liquid Diet Started

Hi ladies! Well, I met with my surgeon on Thursday and decided for certain to do the RNY gastric bypass. I hope I made the right choice. I asked him about having PCOS and how that plays into the surgery and weight loss and everything, but he really didn't contribute much to the question. Any advice? I started the sugar free clear liquids this morning with sugar free jello and Propel. Hopefully I can make it until Tuesday ok. I hear this is the worst part.  I'll be on the other side soon.

Congrats!!!!  i have pcos and im out now... almost 7 weeks and down 33 pds .. gone forever!  the liquid diet is the worst part.  You will come out of surgery full!  crazy as it sounds but its true.  good luck and take care.... ill save a seat on the losers bench for ya.

Thank you Christine! It's good to hear someone else is doing well in post-op. 33 pounds is great! I have been able to lose 27 pounds since I started my surgery prep class in mid-Nov. Some of that has been since I started with the liquid diet for surgery, but most of it was just hard work on my own. I just hope I have momentum to keep it up!!! I want to lose as much as I can in the first few months due to knee pain. Anyway, thanks and keep up your good work too!

I just wanted to update that I am 4 days post-op for the RNYGB and doing good! No complications and I had a good hospital stay overall. I was down below my pre-op weight for the first time since surgery this morning, so I am looking forward to seeing changes each day from now forward.  Sherry 313/280/278/145 starting weight/preop weight/ current weight/ goal weight

CONGRATS!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Hope you have a speedy recovery!  I am waiting for my date I am hoping (and praying) that it will be this August.  Can't wait to join you!!!! Best wishes :)
