Hi I am getting my surgery on feb 24th and am so nervous I`m getting roux-en-y done and am just wondering if anyone can tell me if there is much pain involved and what the recovery is like.Also im on my pre op diet but wondering if I could cheat just one time and get my last good meal in not a huge cheat maybe just on last piece of pizza.

I just saw your post.  I hope your surgery went well.  Did you have your surgery in BC?  Im currently on the wait list. and am hoping for the RNY myself.  Be sure to up date us on how you are doing.  Cheers!

Hey Brandy, 

You made it through! You will be on the losers bench in no time. Ive read that it is really common to have 2nd thoughts in the first while after surgery. Your doing the right thing by taking it day by day.   I look forward to hearing your progress.  I have a lot of weight to lose so Im thinking that the RNY is probably the surgery I will go with as well.

Take it easy and be kind to yourself. You can do this.

Hello, everything I have read says we will feel crappy for a bit (couple of days to a  week or so). I hope you have supports, someone to do your short walks with and to reinforce that you can do it!

I am actually doing really well except I seem to be able to drink normal rather than sipping 2 ounzes every half hour.I made pea soup today and even had a bite of the ham in it and nothing has happened to me.I just hope im not stretching my pouch or doing damage.I have lost 7 pounds within first week of surgery as well.
