RNY Gastric Bypass - 2 weeks post-op

I had surgery on Monday June 13th, 2016 in Ottawa, Ontario, Canada. In this video I talk about my second week post-op which includes the foods I'm eating & how many calories and grams of protein I'm getting in.
273 lb: Start of 3-week Optifast diet
253 lb: Surgery weight
246 lb: 1 week post-op
245.5 lb: 2 weeks post-op (used a new scale!)
This video was recorded on Monday June 27th, 2016.

Hello, thanks for doing these videos. It's nice to see others' experiences with this surgery. I am 7 days post op and have been Sssoooo tired, it actually scared me. I didn't know that my energy level would drop that severe. I only threw up one time bc I have to slow down and not gulp, just sip. The first week was horrible. Now I'm on week 2 and hoping it gets better. But I am feeling better though. You look great and I will watch more of your videos .

Hey Erin congratulation on the weight loss! Like I say losing a little is better than a gain. Not to mention the scales definitely change lol. I use the scale at my doctor and the ER. The one at my doctors says I'm 461 and the one at the ER says 457 lol! Happy Birthday and I hope all goes awesome for you!

Thanks Brandi!

I completely agree that the purée food doesn't look good but it tastes so good after not being able to have food

[@EmmasRNYjourney]

I feel lightheaded when I first get out of bed or if I stand up too quickly

Hi Cathy. I am actually off for the summer as I went back to college last year! I'm in between my 1st and 2nd year so I'll be back there in September.
