It's been two months yesterday since my RYN. I'm a few pounds from losing a total 50 pounds. My BMI is down to 37.5 from 44. My sleep apnea and type 2 diabetes were gone in the few weeks. I can actually breath and walk at the same time. I haven't felt this good in such a long time.
I had very few side effects, no hair loss, no dumping, no nausea. I've been very lucky.
What I hadn't expected is my anti-depressants stopped working. One was changed to liquid form. But I need to have them adjusted or changed completely. I didn't expect this to be an issue.
I also grossly underestimated how difficult it would be to get my protein shakes and water in. Before WLS I drank 2 liters a day with no problem. Now I struggle to get half that. I have yet to find a shake that taste good.
I would not change having the surgery. I miss food and flavor but I've been assured that will return. In the meantime I feel wonderful and am so happy I did it.
