My whole family ended up with a cold the week before my surgery..except me lol. I drank airborne, drank as much water as I could, and avoided my sick family lol

Yes! I developed low blood sugar about a week after my RNY. Was told to drink a protein shake when it got too low, because we shouldn't have sugar. It leveled out. I had been diabetic before bypass, so this was a surprise! I eat every 3 hours, too. Sent from my SM-N960U using BariatricPal mobile app

Takes awhile i was uncomfortable and miserable for a few weeks - Then like overnight i felt great - Ride it out as for the heartburn get meds for it from your Doc. Soon life will be normal - but we all agree the pre week diet sucks and the first few weeks after suck. But its worth it big time

That is a great loss! That is 20lbs!!! Don't be disappointed at all in yourself. You are doing AMAZING!

Your dietitian is not specialised in bariatric it seems... I'm 2 months out and still around 4-500 cal a day...

Our program's basic standard was to shoot for an ounce (28 ml, for those so inclined) every five minutes; if you can do that, great, if not, do what you can do. Some have a fair amount of inflammation in their stomach post op which makes it like dribbling the water through a pinched soda straw, while others have little swelling in there and the water flows through fairly easily. Just sip a little at a time and see how it goes; if it goes easily, try sipping a bit faster, but if it threatens to come back up (or actually does) then slow down and do what you can - it will resolve in time. I had little problem and was able to go through a bowl of broth (6-8 oz?) and a 4 oz juice box in one sitting (half hour?) in the hospital; my wife on the other hand was much more restricted and it took a while to resolve.

Good evening everyone. This is my weekly check in. I've been on this weight loss journey now 16 weeks today and down 107lbs. HW 322 CW 215 GW 185-195 Feeling good still mostly on shakes everyday but starting to try little solid things here and there to work out what I can tolerate. I'm 7 weeks post op today but 16 weeks since starting my diet. Feeling positive about the future just got some loose skin mostly under my arms & armpits.. Will need to get into some kind of resistance or weights soon but here in Australia Its summer and heatwave of 100 all week 😭 so not in any mood to workout right now Thanks everyone again for your support MIKE.

No I was originally sleeved but converted to RNY But if you have the sleeve (with no complications) it was originally created to be 1/2 of the DS (and I guess now SIPS) process. RNY Is the progression to control reflux (what I had) If I had weight regain (but no reflux) with my sleeve I would have seriously considered DS/SIPS Speak with your surgeon and they will conduct testing which will ultimately make the final recommendations. Good Luck 💙
