4 weeks out and already at a stall. Anyone else do this and what helped?

4 weeks out and already at a stall. Anyone else do this and what helped?

Had my first episode of not chewing enough and food getting stuck. I hate vomitting but oh it felt good to get it up

I will. Thanks

Im 3 1/2 weeks and cleared to eat now except bread and steak.

Had a caeser salad with egg yesterday and it still hasn't settled. I feel so uncomfortable and bloated

Is anyone else having trouble with a nasty taste in mouth, making it hard to tolerate any liquids?

I go back to work tomorrow and while I'm excited to get out of this recliner, I'm nervous about making it all day without getting tired and/or sick.

I am so ready for food!!!!! Some days it doesn't bother me' date=' but today is not one of those days. 6 days to go...[/quote']

I only have one more week until regular foods. I want to be able to drink something tasty again. An ice Water would be wonderful

I have it too. Doctor told me that it will go away with time and it can be from medication or because of the stomach surgery. It sucks for now though.

Went for my first postop appointment today and found out that I'm coming along fine and can go to regular foods in one more week. Yes!!

I just hope the feeling goes away soon because this is why I had the surgery...so I don't go in to a food coma everytime I eat

I just ate 2 oz of thin mashed potatoes and feeling stuffed and uncomfortable. Will it always be like this?

And I'm 2 weeks post op. Any suggestions on bypass friendly restaurants in Kentucky?

I ate a scrambled egg today. It was nice to have something to chew on and fill me up

I had RNY on June 3' date=' and am 10 days post op. I gad a rough time of it but am feeling stronger daily. As I type this, I'm sitting here after midnight unable to sleep. My legs are so restless I have to move them constantly or go nuts. I'm not even tired after Tylenol PM. I never has restless legs before but my mom does. Have any of you connected WLS with restless legs syndrome?[/quote']

I have the same problem and cannot sleep until the sun comes up and only for a few hours. I thought it was just the meds finallu wearing off

I had mine on the 3rd. I don't mind food. I'm trying to find something to drink besides Protein Drinks and milk. Water tastes blah...

Does anybody else keep a nasty taste in mouth and breathe stink? How long did it last and what cured it?

I had bypass Monday. Had to be there at 715, went for surgery at 1120. Slept good and didn't feel a thing until...I woke up and my pain pump was still sitting in a chair. I spent all night awake to make sure I could push button every 10 minutes. It was terrible and even though I told everyone this wasn't right, my blood pressure was through the roof and I was sweating like crazy, it took until 9 the next morning to get some pain medicine because the after surgery nurse let my anesethia wear off before getting me on pump. Nightmare. Now I'm home day two and have no pain but nausea is keeping me down.

Good luck! I'm at 10:45am :-)

I'm at 715

Well' date=' I've unintentionally sabotaged my pre op diet. I wasn't paying attention to my Protein shakes...between the powders and the soy milk, I've been going well over my carb target, usually before dinner. :-( And my usual mindset tried to kick in, which said "oh well, may as well eat whatever you want to now since you've screwed up." But I know that tomorrow is a new day, and I'm going to get it right. I'll just be sooooo glad when I don't feel hungry...that's the benefit of RNY that really sold me. But for the next 11 days, I'll be meal planning...I always do better when I plan ahead and stop trying to wing it. I do feel a but less worried about these first messed up days of my diet since some surgeons say no diet, some say liquid. I guess it's not the end of the world because these have been successful surgeries on either end of the spectrum. Sorry for rambling...just trying to make myself feel better. :-/[/quote']

I'm no doctor but I'm sure they give extra days so everyone can work a little less in the beginning. I wasn't put on restriction but what scared me from overeatting was the doctor telling me he will do lap but if my liver is too large, he will have to do it the vertical cut. You sound like you got your head in the game now and will be fine.

Sooooooo... Some of us are gearing up for surgery! What are the non-pre-op-diet-peeps planning on eating the next few days. I know I HAVE to get in some Taco Bell and macncheese. Lol absolute MUST!

I am eating a whole lot of cupcakes!

Three more days....!!!

I know! I can hardly stand the wait

June 3rd is getting here but not soon enough. I did my grocery shopping tonight so I would have food to come home. Its going to be a challenge to find different foods that I can eat but I am up for it. For now it's going to be baby foods and Soups.< /p>
