I just wanted to share my story this far so no one makes the mistakes I did after surgery. Listen to your surgeon!!! I had RNY 4/15/13. Surgery went well with the exception of post op bleeding through one of my incisions. I had to have two blood transfusions and I finally healed two weeks post op. I was given instructions to take Vitamins and potassium. Being 23, I thought I was indestructible. Wrong! I stopped both. I quickly lost 50 pounds in less than a month and couldn't stomach foods. For two weeks I suffered from nausea and vomiting. I finally went to the er and had blood work done. My potassium levels were dangerously low. I had a scope done as well. I also had a severe allergic reaction to iv vitamins which almost caused me to stop breathing and made me break out in blisters. I'm finally out if the hospital and I feel great! Listen to your doctor and take EVERYTHING they prescribe you!!!

Mine was April 15

I have to get a scope done tomorrow. I was wondering what other people's experiences were with it. I'm more nervous for this than I was for surgery

Oh dear. Thanks guys! Looks like ill be seeing my doctor sooner than I thought :/

I'm 5 and a half weeks out. All this week I have been dry heaving, which is causing my stomach muscles to kill. I told the doctor and I did a barium swallow test and everything looked good. Did anyone have this problem?

I'm three and a half weeks post rny. I've lost 39 pounds so far. I haven't cheated once, but I also am having a hard time eating. Today I completely broke down crying because I miss carbs and soda. I've gone almost two months without both and today out of nowhere, it hit me. I know if I tried to cheat I'd probably get sick. I guess it's all head hunger. Now I know why I was overweight in the first place. Not a good day for me.

I had mine on 4/15. I'm the same way. There's days where I can't stomach anything just because I'm not hungry at all. I hear it takes a few months to get the "hunger pains" back

Ill be three weeks post op in Monday. I'm on soft protein. I literally feel like I'm forcing myself to eat. I'm never hungry. Did anyone else experience this and does it eventually go away? I have a lot of head hunger but the second I take a bite of something, I just don't.....feel it, I guess you could say.

That happened to me yesterday. I'm two weeks post op and just had a bad day with pain. I broke down crying and feeling sorry for myself because I still can't stomach food. Today I feel 100% better. Some days are easy, some are hard. Just think where you will be in a year. That's my motivation. Skinny and healthy!

I know they at at Walmart and Walgreens. I got them at trader joes and gnc

I don know if anyone else uses these but they are amazing. My doctor approved it since I can't stand the taste of powder Protein shakes. 1g of sugar 35g of protein I highly recommend it if your doctor allows them

I'm glad I'm not alone. I try and take a pain pill before bed. I end up waking up like clock work at midnight at 4am with the pain. I can't wait till I can be able to get a full night of sleep

I'm 11 days out from gastric bypass. During the day, I usually feel pretty good. The most I have is discomfort. When night time hits, that's when the actual pain starts. I'm trying not to over do it with pain meds. Did anyone go through this? I feel like I'm not getting any sleep because of the pain.

I literally am going through the same thing. All I've been drinking is water and probably only a bottle a day. I just know my stomach can't tolerate anything other than that. My doc said that was common so soon after surgery since your stomach is still pretty swollen

I just bought that yesterday and its a godsend!
