I'm a little over 3 years out and some tastes have changed. French fries I can rest a very few so I just don't eat them really. pizza I don't like as much and had to be thin and crispy crust. I am so tired of pain Water so I get those sugar free flavorings you dump into the water bottles. I used to love good coffee but now it kills my stomach so I drink it very rarely. Also some spicy foods make me salivate a lot and I feel sick and sometimes vomit. I guess as far as real changes in taste, I don't think anything for me changed. After a few years I think you'll maybe add some things back in moderation. Just make sure you don't slide back into bad habits and start gaining weight back.

Was yours laparoscopic?

Mine was and the only pain I had was in my back from the massive hiatal hernia he had to repair before he could do my RNY.

I do remember a month or so after I had awful gas pains.

I was told to walk 2 miles a day. I used a FitBit after for about 2 weeks after I started getting more energy. I averaged about 6 miles a day just at work so I stopped wearing the FitBit and never really did much after. My weight had been stable at between 140 and 145 for 2 years. About a month ago I started going to the gym with wife. In the classes they start you off by running a mile. I am usually not out of breath or even broken a sweat. But I always feel better after I go no matter how tired I may be of how sore I am.

Until you see your surgeon again, try walking as much as you can. I remember they had me up within a few hours after I woke up to walk around the hospital wing.

Noodles taste like paste. I used to love getting Shanghai noodles. And french fries taste like cardboard.

Just keeping doing what you're supposed to and you'll be fine. They wanted me to walk about a mile a day after. I work at a large school system and the summer I returned to work we were opening 3 new schools. I walked over 6 miles a day so I didn't really did any exercising either. I am now though

I stopped about 1 year out and then gained about 10lbs and have held that for 2 years.
Each person is different so don't get discouraged. You're doing well. Some people plateau and some don't. Just keep doing what you're supposed to.
Are you exercising like you're supposed to? Have you gotten to the stage where you're getting a lot of energy?

Glad that's all it was.

KKLive...did it get better? What was it?

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Probably not gallbladder. Gas maybe?

Sent from my SM-G930V using Tapatalk

Where exactly is the pain? Might be gallbladder. I'd go see the Dr if it doesn't get better soon.

Yeah. I had one about 3 years out. Never had them before. It started as a slight pain in my back on one side. Felt like a pulled something at first. Aftet about 3 days of that, I then had to pee about every 5 mins off and on for about 2 days. Then the pain started to increase and I ended up lying on the basement floor for about 30 mins in excruciating pain. I then realized what it was. The next 4 days my bladder hurt and it felt like I was peeing razor blades. I drank a lot of Water during that time in hope to get it to pass. It did finally and everything cleared up about a week later.

About an hour before I passed it I made an appointment with a urologist. When I met with him he said the nature of gastric bypass will limit the absorbtion of Calcium. Calcium helps reduce kidney stones. When I go next month for my yearly gastric bypass visit I'm going to ask if I should increase my calcium intake.

I hope you aren't getting a kidney stone. It was probably the worst pain I have ever felt.

Exactly how I would have said it. Hang in there.

It is pretty typical to have the RNY when there is more weight to lose. And sometimes, doctors prefer it because it is sort of the "gold standard". You will lose more weight with this surgery than with the others. It's even quite common for patient's who have had one type of surgery come back and eventually have the RNY. It's done now--stop looking back. Make the most of it and you'll do great. It will really depend on how you follow the plan now. It is only a tool. It has some magic the first year but eventually that magic wears off and you really need to put in the work so it's best to get in the habit of doing that work now which will pay off exponentially! Best of luck to you and congratulations for making the decision to live longer and better!

You stopped to have gastric bypass to improve your life and health. Why in the Hell would you want to start smoking again? If you do, then question why you had the gastric bypass in the first place. Continue on a more healthy path; enjoy you new life and be thankful for the gift you were given.

What really gets me is people asking the same things. Also 99% of everything I've read here asking about something was covered by my surgeon's office without me asking. Either some people are not listening or not be told. If they aren't being told, then maybe they need to ask more or find another surgeon for after care.

I have to take 3 250mg still softeners a day.

Good point. I have always taken Vitron-C since I got home from the hospital. Even with the iron, was exhausted for the first few months.
