New to the Group

I just wanted to introduce myself. I recently had RNY bypass on 7/31/17. I was having a bit of a rough time after the surgery, but I'm getting better. Reading the different posts and learning the different prospectives has been helpful. Any advice to some who is new to this life changing process?

Make sure that you drink lots of fluids, get your protein and walk.

Welcome and congrats on your surgery! Prayers for healing!

Welcome NickM1267, post-WLS learning can be continual. Not sure what kind of advice you are seeking but here are three starters to consider: 1. stick to a strict routine and intensely immerse yourself into the post-WLS lifestyle 2. seek professional mental health maintenance even if you don't think you need it 3. attend an in-person WLS support group. If you find group sub-par, offer to volunteer making the group meetings better.

You and I are almost surgery buddies! Mine was 4 days before yours.

So far what I've gleaned as most important is:

1) stay hydrated!

2) protein is the only macro you need to focus on;

3) keep your eye on the prize. STAY FOCUSED!!

Tally ho!

Welcome.
