Hi jary..i also had gastric bypass on the 26th...stomach still swollen with gas...bu think i saw calve muscles this am...omg!! Lol.. hows your diet going??? I went shopping for soups...yogurts...etc yesterday...90$ lol.. but its nice to know all that food is going to last me weeks!! As i can only eat small portions at a time

Yikes...i love wendys chili...but dont think you want to introduce any spicy foods at this point....of course you would have to puree it...but thinking the sodium content is too high as well...you have to slowww down hon...im anxious too to have reg meals but think of this 6 month period of changing your lifestyle....not sabbotaging yourself.....you can refrain!!!

Would love those recipes....pls send to sillyolme1@hotmail.com...tysm

Lol....well its now 9 day post op..lower abd still gassy...wth...he really filled me up huh? Lol...im on week 2 diet so hoping more food eill help get this out. Its tolerable..im just wanting to weigh myself...lol...actuslly not anxious to do that any time soon...not sure why....guess i dont want to be disapppointed..lol.

When was your surgery? I read someones nut told her 600 to 800 cal....remember low sugar...low fat..and watch that sodium!! Hopefully you are focusing on your milk (calcium) intake...protein intake (60g to 80g) daily...if you aee beyond 2nd week soft foods cottage cheeses...eggs etc.... remember too eat small portions 5x... 6x a day trying to get in the above and tsking your multivitamins or eating to get other vits and minerals

Tysm for that info!!

Congrats to both of you!!!

Soups..pureed..haha...milk...milk/protein smoothies...be careful with sugar content...puddings low fat...low sugar...theres more foods than you realize..these are plenty...just pick new flavors and 7vdays will be gone soft foods next week...for both of us....i am 8 days post op..week 2 post op diet...nice for a change ..im enjoying the freezer chocolate low fat low sugar pudding... the jellonpudfing in a box...and have you tried isoflex protein shakes..a little expensive but one smsll box will feed me 3x...i think...

Yikes tuna already...soft fish at day 28 or 4 weeks out....you should be on milk yogurt and protein shakes and ice chips help alot with hydration... I see many people on the forum eating foods wayyy to soon...and like you having problems...soft foods 3rd week out...cottage cheese...mashed...mushy potatoes etc

3 days out?? You shouldnt have weighed yourself yet...lol.. remember you are carrying gases and saline solution sobits going to take a week or so to get back to nirmal...is your drain even removed?? Haha... hon your just a little too anxiiys and excited...dont worry follow the diet and youll get tgere...congrats on your new life...os...cont liquids clear for another week ...wait 8 dats pist op bf introducing milk..yigurt and protrin...remember your innards are healing...and thats gonna take many weeks!!

I just bought some...in second week ofvpost op diet...ibused my vitamixer to whip up the broccoli chunks!!! Vitamixer best investment ever!! Im sure reg blender or magic bullet will work too...if not strain

Hi!! Im day 8 rny postop. My swelling..gases still around...i have NOT weighed myself yet..lol...i lost 15 lbs preop...so was 245 lbs at surgery..im sure i gained 20 or 30 lbs with the saline and gases used for surgery...lol...i couldnt believe how heavy i was....i almost have my ankles and calves back to "normal"...but stomach lower is til taught and blahhh.... congrats on your weight loss..

Try the deli in super market...i just bought some fresh stuff at sobeys...but vitamixed it more as it was creamy broccoli and cheddar..i also bought mushroom soup mix in pkgs may have to add more milk as sodiom highish 36% di. But i can only have about 3 tbsp at a time anyways...i have a vitsmixer and can make my own soups..mi premade a whole bunch preop and froze them in ice cube trays... i just want variety now..lol..have you tried making your own protein smoothies ??

Cool...well not...but im excited for you!! Congrats!! How much have you lost...when was your surgery??

Yup..im 8 days post op...guess they really filled us with air to do the surgery...lol...i finally have calves and ankles...well pretty much..im sure theres still some swelling...my lower bib is still taught and uncomfortable...ugh im thinking a few more days??? A week more at tops...cant wait to weigh myself...but waiting to get rid of this excess bf weighing ....

You should wait til week two to start shajes honey....continue ice chips water...jello gatorade until 8th day post op then shakes yogurt..milk 2nd week...its a very slow intro to foods

Ice chips are perfect...hopefully u gave a fridge like mine and is accessible all day long...as for milk dont forget yogurt and soups..with milk count towards your required milk ..calcium intake...speaking if i need tilo go pour me a 4 oz..all i can do and will take me 10 mins to drink it...well last night anyhow. I just moved to second week phase...milks and protein drinks...soups

Hi all.day 6 post op..rny...im still pumped up like a micheline tire man...my calves swollen galore...i think im trying to dehydrate myself at this point...ive walked alot...too much?? My stomach lower abs have stretch marks and they are puffy and uuuugly!! Flying home in 5.5 hrs...surgery last wed so i stayed extra days in San Diego to recover glad i did...but need longer.yes ive had to continue with compresson stockins and esp for the flight....like when will this saline and gas go away???

quick reply sorry in in recovery....surgery went well today...did you find that forum...hope it helpful...ttys

lm guessing all surgery done in march l had mne today feeling good!

On ny wayyyyy...yay.. great..and ty

Wow you look great btw...oh my gosh i bet there are many people who feel that way ...and probably me ...i am leaving in 6.5 hrs surgery on Wed...im 260 lbs ... its a huge change although 60 lbs has been gained over 5..7 yrs...so although ive been overweight all my life i was able to stabilize at varios weights for yrs..from 160 ..then 170...190...210 and boom 260...no stability so im hoping i dont run into your situation...but wow...who would ..could i be at 145lbs?? Thats pretty close to half of me...am i prepared for it?? Oh sports and activity wise i am...cannot wait to go golfing...and ziplining..maybe try watersking again...lol...well even regular winter skiing... have you always been heavy ..that is maintaing that weight for say 20 yrs?this could be why. You might find the losing friends chat forum of high interest as this could be one of the issues...changes in all your relationships...esp yourself...maybe see a counsellor and dig out why you feel "guilt". Try ti stay focused on the positives youve gained...no more sleep apnea...no more heart medicatiins...no more diabetes...or GERD... Reaching out is a great start...good for you...stay strong! Gtg...need sleep ..ttyl

Hey another thought..the slower the less hanging skin?? Some people freaking me out at how fast they r losing...lol. Heading to airport in the morning...less than 12 hrs...sugery rny is onn Wed

I have been wondering too...but hey Ive never been a bride or a bridesmaid so its ...esp after losing alot of weight...its going to be a big boost ...and hot damn shell look great in that dress! Also remember everyone her FRIEND did ask her when she was at a heavier weight...soo weight issues are not a factor for her to be included as a bridesmaid...

Hi all....less than 14 hrs i will be flying from AB Canada to Mexico. RNY surgery on Wed...so excited!! Am staying a few extra days after surgery before coming home..mi hope its enough time....did any one get narcotics after the surgery? Should i bring my own?
