Thank you for posting this,...I will take your advise and eat only healthy foods,

I think you are doing great! Just wondering do you have to have the shake they gave you? My shake is Premiere chocolate which has 30 grams of protein, I heard if you up your protein that should curb your appetite also drink at least 64 oz of water. I use crystal light and add protein (unjury unflavored) to my water for added protein, Check with your doctor first. I had my RNY on 7/16 and fee great. Went to my doctor for the two week post op and lost 6 inches overall. My incisions are completely healed and I'm clear to go swimming again. I heard the more protein you take in the better you'll heal after. Good luck and hope this helps.

ok..today is 2 weeks post op,,,I can now feel a big difference when I eat. I feel like I am stuck and full of air. I have to stop eating after only a few bites and walk around to get the air out, then I can continue to eat then stop, walk and do over again..ugh. But the weight is coming off. I started at 191 and today I weighed in at 174. I tried on a shirt that I had bought 2 years ago, never wore cause it was to tight, So I tried it today and wow it fit perfectly. It is such a great feeling when you finally start to see results. To me this surgery has given me so much in return. I am no longer a diabetic, no meds necessary, no more high blood pressure or meds either, Tomorrow I will see my doctor. I hope he will say things are looking great.

Prayers sent your way...hope to hear from you soon that you are feeling better. Wow, I am so glad I did not experience anything like that. Please take care of yourself...we are here if you need us to listen,

Hi, I am now 9 days out (post op) I feel great. Pain has really been very tolerable. Just started the second week post op diet. I have tried scrabbled eggs, cottage cheese, protein shakes and green beans. Still experimenting with different foods, I found that I can drink liquids whether water or shakes with no problems. And for the most part I can tolerate eating as well My concern is. I hear some people complain of feeling bad if drinking to fast or eating to fast. I am not having those symptoms, Am I doing this correctly or what? Is anyone else experiencing this as well?
