Hi there. I am new here. I am 28 and about to have RNY in June. I have a couple quick questions for y'all. I was wondering what the posts like "eating good in the neighborhood" meant? What do some of the other posts terminology mean? Also- what did your surgeon have you eating the week before surgery and the 2 months or so following surgery? I just want to get my brain wrapped around what this truly entails. I know the basics like clear liquids, soft solids, etc, but I guess I would like more deatils... Thanks to anyone that responds!

Hey Mary! The Eating Good is where we post our daily menus and keep ourselves on track if we need some accountability. What other terminology were you questioning?

The months following my surgery was fairly basic. Lots of water, protein shakes... jello, cottage cheese, tuna... mushies galore!

Keep postin' chick!

The more things the change, the more they're still the same.

what did your surgeon have you eating the week before surgery and the 2 months or so following surgery? Each surgeon has different guidelines and they vary a lot, so keep that in mind. My basic plan was 2 weeks pre-op - liquids first 2 week post-op - liquids (given a specific list) 2 weeks to 6 weeks - soft foods 2 months - 'normal eating'

First visit to surgeon - 288 ~ bmi 45.1
2 week pre-op 252 ~ bmi 39.5
Total lost - 153 Since surgery - 117!
Goal weight - 155 (mine) 180 (surgeons)
Current weight - 135 (2020 I lost 10lbs due to dedicating myself to working out more and being in better shape)

1/14/2025 still maintaining 135 :-)

Extended TT, lipo, fat injections - 11/2011

BA/BL/Arm Lift - 7/2014

Scar revision on arms - 3/2015

HALO laser on arms/neck 9/2016
