I am 2 months post op. I had a problem with protein shakes after surgery. Couldn't do them after the first week. I got sick from them. I had to shop and find my own mix that I could handle. Found raw fit gluten free mix and worked much better. I found it at vitamin world and it has 26 grams of protein. Much better. I could put pb2 in it with a banana and it was great. Try alternatives. It gets better.

I had rny in June and have had no issues. I have lost 40lbs since surgery. I am happy!

Awesome story! You look great!

About 5 days after my surgery I was so bloated and uncomfortable from not have one yet. I took milk of magnesia and got it all out and have been just fine since. I'm 2 weeks post surgery tomorrow.

Any ideas for puréed stage? I'm having a problem with texture and gag no matter what it is! I can do cottage cheese with any fruit and I'm fine but that's it.

I'm on puréed foods and am having a hard time because it makes me gag to just get the 3 or 4 bites I can eat before I'm full. Any ideas?

Hope it gets better! Have you tried powerade zero? I stocked up on that and crystal light. Also found Special K protein drink packets to put in your water bottle.

Hi. I am not quite one week out yet. I still have some pain that feels like a stuffed feeling. Not nearly as bad as it was. Wishing you less pain.As for protein shakes I couldn't stomach EAS at all. The first taste had a metal taste. I use the Torani flavors to mask mine. Wishing everyone the best. Yea I'm so sick of muscle milk too ugh it makes me sick seeing it in my fridge. I hope your pain gets better. I know exactly what you mean by that stuffed feeling pain. Honestly that went away once I had my first bm since surgery and it's really gone now since I had to do milk of mag after the Eas protein issue. I also did start my Vitamins today. My dr had me hold off till I started puréed foods so they wouldn't make me sick. I am just having a hard time being creative with the puréed since whatever it is I will only be able to have like 4 spoons of. It's like all that work to purée something and I can only spoon maybe 4 times! Lol

How is everyone doing? I am now 1 week post op. Feel much better now. Off pain meds and no more gas issues either. My weigh in this morning shows 13lbs down

How is everyone feeling today? I am 1 week post op today. It has not been that bad. Off pain meds since Friday I guess. I am starting puréed foods today. Ate some baby food. It went ok but I think it is is a mental issue of knowing it was baby food that messed me up lol. I am down 12 lbs since surgery I did have one issue with the EAS protein shakes. They don't sit well with me and gave me bad stomach issue. I am not sure if that was called dumping or not. But it was a bad night. I had to take milk of mag already yesterday. Today I'm fine though feel much better

Thanks will do

How do you know if you are on the verge of dehydration? I am 1 week out from surgery and yesterday I had a couple sips of an eas protein shake and it immediately made me feel bad. Not sure why. But it had me in the restroom with discomfort and then I felt very constipated because of course I am just now experiencing my first bm since surgery. So I took milk of mag because I felt like I had to in order to fix things. Now today I am still going but everytime I drink or eat yogurt or something it goes straight thru. Am I getting dehydrated? What should I do? I can start stage 3 puréed tomorrow with my program. Any suggestions? Would it make a difference if I start it one day early to get more substance in to change the bowels situation?

Use a heating pad. It helped a lot for my back gas. I had surgery on the 16th and am doing ok but my stomach area just feels heavy and bloated maybe. Pain level is bearable. This morning I started with a heating pad and it worked wonders and let me rest comfortably.

I am home now and feeling ok. Just a little pain in my stomach. Gas isn't as bad as I thought it would be. Of course I am just on day 1! Lol Full liquids today.
