Quick picture update

[Paula Garner]

The first picture is 2 weeks before my RNY in sept 2012. I weighed 23st 8lb and a size 26/28. The second picture is me yesterday. I now weigh 10st 2lb and I'm a size 10. This surgery has been the best thing I've ever done. I love my bypass

1) you'll feel sore more than pain. The gas pain is the worst, but everybody is different. It may not be to bad for you. Get up on your feet ASAP and walk, walk, walk. It really helps shift the trapped gas.

2) You will eat normal foods again, just in drastically reduced portions. Listen to the advice of your dietician and always eat your protein first. Try not to introduce sugary/ fatty foods, as you will dump at some point. Also the further out you are, your tolerance to these foods increases.

3) Loose skin is inevitable. It does go back a bit, but it really depends on how much it's been stretched and how much elasticity it's lost.

Hope this has helped a bit
