Pretty good. I mean really, no complaints thus far. Surgery went well. I didn't have any pain from gas, just from the surgery itself but I think that is unusual. I am following the diet to a T. I am now on full liquids. I am having a hard time getting in the Protein and Water but trying my best. I am starting to feel hungry but by 2 or 3 sips of Protein shake I am full.

No, your pouch is not torn or leaking. You would be extremely sick. It is possible it is stretched out, or your body has just gotten accustomed to it, allowing you to eat more. Either way, you need to get to a lower caloric intake/more exercise in order to lose the weight. Whether a revisional surgery would help you is something you and your doctor could discuss.

Hi I've been on my pre op diet (food based liver reducing) for 4 days now and I've just started getting kidney pain. I'm drinking lots of water...feel like i'm swimming in it. Has anyone else experienced this? Wasn't sure if its normal?

I was sleeved on 2/6. My surgeon informed me ahead of time that I would have a JP Drain, I think it's pretty much their preference on wether you will have one or not. Mine was in for a total of 8 days, removed on my 1 week post-op visit (2/14). At first it wasn't too bad but after about 3 or 4 days it became incredibly painful. Basically it's a tube just sticking out of your abdomen and your body pretty much decides that it shouldn't be there and starts to fight it. My drain site became very red and infected looking but after talking with my surgeons nurse was told it's normal. This was by far the worst part of my surgery, not only was it disgusting but the pain radiated from the site towards the end. However, as soon as he removed it there was instantaneous relief, it felt so good not having it jutting out of my side haha. From what I've read everybody has different experiences with these things so maybe if you have one it won't be nearly as bad. Good luck!

Give your self a break, and put away the scale. Your body is still healing so it is going to be out of wack for a while. You'll gain, you'll lose, you'll stall. Embrace the stall!! It will break. You'll drive yourself insane if you weigh every day. Put it away, and let yourself heal. Then after that, start to weigh yourself again.

I have not seen this question ever posted. Wondering if it is possible to lose too much weight wIth Rny? I have 80 Lbs to lose.

Thanks! This is just so new to me and it's nice not feeling alone.

It's a slider food you will be able to consume more and if your anything like me you will eat the whole thing

I'm from Watertown sd and was sleeved on Jan 30th

This is all normal. The swelling has subsided. Like mentioned above, yogurt will go down easily. That's why it is often allowed during the liquid phase. Once you start eating more solid foods, you will feel the restriction more. Also, some days you will feel fuller quicker than others. I will measure out 3 oz of meat. Some days I can eat all of it and think I could probably eat more. Other days I can't even eat 2 oz. This is why I measure everything I eat! When I get too full or eat too quickly, I always get the hiccups. I can use my sleeve as a guide most of the time, but not all of the time. Measure, measure, measure.
