I was also told no corn.

I did really good after surgery. I was up and walking the same night and walked a lot when I got home. I think you would be fine. Good luck!

I just tried Muscle Milk after trying tons of others. It is not too bad. I am not sure on the sugar in it but it has been the best for me. Good luck!

It could be a kidney stone. I am a urology nurse and the dark urine can happen with a stone, also the type of pain your having. A stone should have showed up on CT but they don't always. Good luck and keep us posted. Hope you feel better soon.

Yeah my first day of "soft mushy food". I had 1/2 cup of chili with 1 tbsp reduced fat shredded cheese and a few oyster crackers. Tasted like heaven compared to all the liquids I have been eating.

Good Luck sending many thoughts and prayers! The loser side feels good.

I have had the dizzy spells a couple of times and I am sure it is because my body is still adjusting. I drank more fluids and felt better.

I had pureed split pea soup with pureed canned smoked ham and a spoonful of greek yogurt. It was pretty darn good. I can't wait for some solid food! 2 week post op on Monday so hopefully my doctor advances me to next stage.

Thanks for the ideas and keep them coming if you got anymore! I tried sf pudding, vanilla protein powder and milk but not real fond of the texture.

Anyone have any recipes, ideas for full liquid/pureed phase. I am 9 days post op and running out of ideas, need help!!!

I am only 8 days post op so a lot of things can change but I have tons of gas. I need to take Simethicone about 3-4 times a day. I am having a problem with loose stools but I am hoping that this all evens out.

Thanks everyone for all the info it helps so much to hear your stories and encouragment.

Hi everyone, I have just a little over a week left before my surgery and I am freaking out about it. I am not worried about the surgery itself or the pain but more about how my life will change. Please fill me in on all of your experiences good or bad and let me know how things have changed for you. Thanks so much!!!

I have surgery on January 28th and I have started my pre op diet. I am to do two protein shakes a day (8 oz.). I need all of you to help me with recipes or things you have done to make your protein shakes taste good. Any information will be appreciated. Thanks!!!

I am having mine on January 28th!

My date is January 28th!

Thank you so much for the info already. I am greatful to have all of you and this website to help me through my journey. Worm you will have to let me know how surgery went! I hope all is well with you.

Hello all! I have tried several diets and excercise all that have given me little to know success. I finally hit the highest weight that I have ever been and it was that moment that I realized I have to do something about it. So here is where I will begin my weight loss journey. I have had my initial consult, attended seminar had dietarty appt. Now I just have final wrap up appt and I will go over all of my blood test on that day also. I am very close to getting to surgery. All of this has scared me into reality, that this is really going to happen.I have been wanting this surgery for 5 years and now I am so ready for this. Can any of you please tell me your story's about recovering and what it was like immediately after surgery. That is what I am so worried about. I would love all of comments and experiences that you have had. I really appreciate any support that you guys could give me. I am planning on having RNY in the end of december or early January. I can't wait to look forward to hearing from you all. Thanks.

Has anyone out there had any problems with BCBS MI and coverage for RNY?? I go to my nutrition eval and first meeting with surgeon on Nov. 13th. Just wondering about other peoples experience.
