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.

I had my surgery yesterday and came home today. So far so good. Just pain in my stomach and can't seem to determine whether it is from incisions or gas. Started full liquids today and going ok so far.

I actually just had my surgery yesterday and am home today not so bad. I had the rny. Just a little pain in my stomach and A bloating feeling. Other than that I'm fine. Started full liquids today. Walking does help the pain. Let's start this journey! Good luck everyone!

I just got home from the hospital today. Surgery was yesterday at 1pm. It all went well. I have not experienced any issues with gas yet. I feel ok and was ready around 730am to go home but of course didn't get to lol. Slight pain on my stomach but I have been walking anyway. It is not as bad as I was thinking. I am happy and excited now. On full liquids. I already had some cream of wheat and light vanilla yogurt. Mixed together was way better than by itself. Good luck to you all having surgery soon.

I asked my surgeon if we can just remove it since it may cause an issue. He said no. I don't understand that... Why not kill two birds with one stone?!

June 16th as well! Can't wait! Rny in houston!

How do y'all feel?

I am in Houston as well! I am scheduled for Monday morning at Methodist. So nervous!!!

How did everyone do? How are you June 10th people feeling now? I am scheduled for Monday the 16th? I am so nervous now! Wandering if this is the right decision... Was it worth it? Is it going to really be worth it?

Thank you for that! I went today and bought all the protein shakes and soups in abundance lol.

That would be great!
