I was really concerned! I got an email from my NUT yesterday, and she also confirmed that this was normal.. She said most patients don't start seeing the "issues" until the pureed stage.

I have gas!! Ha!...No seriously! I can feel it traveling in my abdomen and I stair at my belly waiting to see the baby kick..lol...That's totally what it feels like, even when it gets up into your ribs! The weather has been so cold and rainey I can't even really get out to walk! CP3483~12/27/12

I can drink 8-12ounces of protein in about 20 minutes without a problem! I'm only 5 days post op. I have no trouble getting water down at all, I have 3-4 16.9 ounce bottles off water a day. I'm starting worry! I feel like I shouldn't be able to consume as much as I do. I'm still not sure if I'm getting enough protein, since my NUT is out of the country for a few weeks.

Thanks! I'm doing great!!... Except for already dreaming about food...lol..

I'm not listed either... had mine 12/27/12

I had mine 12/27/12, I'm down 10 pounds already. I'm drinking plenty of water with no problem. I'm to afraid to try yogurt. I'm still on clear liquids. I'm not eating creamy soups.. I'm trying to follow my doctors orders as much as possible.

I went to Wal-Mart yesterday for that reason.. I'm 5days post op today. I just went to walk around..

I had a Pomegranate SugarFree Jell-O....and pretended it was a Pomegranate Martini! Ha! Happy New Year you you too!

I had RNY 12/27/12....I'm only 4 days post op. I feel like I'm consuming too much. I can drink a whole 8-12 ounces of my protein drink in about 20 minutes. I can drink 3-4 16.9 ounces of water a day and 4-8 ounces of broth a day without any problems. I'm reading where people can't even hold an ounce down at a time... I totally feel like I'm over doing it.. Is this normal?!

LOL....I actually had a BM post op day 2.. I had to tell my mom not to be afraid to wipe my ass..I said you used to do it all the time when I was a kid.. She was like, well your ass didn't look like this 30yrs ago...we both laughed and laughed!

Did this just start or has this been an issue right after surgery?

Ok.... I know all of us women had an issue with wiping front and back, after surgery, because of all the soreness ...lol .... Well I had a BM (I know TMI) and I was able to wipe myself without my mom's help!...lol.....

Can't wait until I have before and after pictures to post!

I was thinking wth...am I the only one not taking vitamins immediately afterwards?!

My dietitian didn't inform me enough! I haven't even started my multivitamin!! I have them, but nowhere in my paper work does it say to start taking them right after surgery. I know he wants me to wait two before I start taking my calcium and b12.

What about your vitamins?

Ok...I'm confused as hell! My dietitian is saying I should get enough protein in one swerving? I counted and I'm only getting 21grams! That's not enough!! Should I start doing two protein shakes a day vs one? Also when did you all start your vitamins?

My befriend didn't want me to go through with my gastric bypass, which I had 12/27 and I'm already down 6lbs! Anyway...I was surprised that she wasn't one of my biggest supporters..it actually hurt my feelings. You have to want this for you and only you! I've only been postoperative a few days and it's been hard as hell, but each day was better then last! I got approved right away! I started my journey 11/6 and was approved and scheduled by 12/18. It also helps with cost if you find a doctor innetwork and that does the surgery at a hospital in your network! I got lucky my deductible was only $250 ans max out of pocket was $1, 200. If this is what you want, you'll find away!

Good Luck on your new journey!! It wasn't easy the first few days, but I promise it will get better!!

You look great! Great job!!
