Ok then I think I just answered my own question. DON'T do it!!! Ouch! I tried to throw up but it won't work ????

I'm about a month out from RNY and my doctor said to start eating normal food. Is one egg and one sausage patty to much to eat at one sitting???

Or should I say @@GAWildKat LOL

Thanks @Gawildcat

I'm almost a month out from RNY and need to know what drug I can take for headaches. I know I can't have Advil anymore?

Well you need to do what's best for you! Not all work places are the same...

I pretty told my boss and HR Dept. as well has several co-workers. I wanted all the support I could get! Not one person has looked at me differently ???? and if they did I would not really care either way! I did this to help and make me healthy again.

Hi gang! I wanted to ask if anyone else uses the Stevia sweetener? On the box it says zero sugar and calories. Is this ok to use in my coffee?

@spicyfrog thanks for your kind words! Everyone here on this site is wonderful how we all help one another. I hope your doing awesome 3 weeks out too! Sounds like you and I had our surgery just about the same time. {{{hugs}}}

Thanks for the reply! Yeah not rushing at all as I am very happy and feeling super ???? Good luck to you as well ????

I'm only able to eat about the size of a small egg after my RNY does that sound about right to y'all? I feel great and everything is going wonderful I just wanted to make sure everyone agrees with the amount I am able to eat? Thanks!! Karl

Before my RNY I had very bad diabetes and had a different Rx. for my eye glasses. My glasses that I had made when I had real bad issues with my diabetes are not working so well now since I no longer take the meds for it and no longer have sugar problems. I am wearing a pair of glasses I had made before I really had any problems with diabetes. So it seems like my vision has gotten better since I don't have sugar issues anymore ????... Has anyone else experienced this problem?

I keep my meals under 3oz and no grazing at all... I eat protein first and stop when I start to feel full... Then wait 30 to 35 mins to have a drink after I eat. I say just follow the rules and you will experience a good life with your new pouch.

@@FrankinTexas have you tired these Protein shakes I posted below? They are tasty and packed full of 30 grams of protein per container. I normally only have one a day to help me hit my protein goal. Also I just made my some homemade chili yesterday and that too is packed with protein. I saw my doctor today and he is very happy with what I'm doing this far ???? for things to drink I am drinking a lot of Water, crystal light and a little apple juice with no sugar added. Frank I hope this helps a little bit.

@@Madeleine Renee, Hi I wanted to answer your question. Well, I have been on meds for diabetes for about 7 years. I was told by my surgeon that after my RNY i would prolly not need meds and he is right! I was still taking them in the hospital and my sugar was dropping too low so they had me stop them before I even came home. Now that I am getting off just about all my meds I was in before surgery I feel like this is all a blessing and I feel great being off all these pills ????????????

@@Dub, I slept in my bed when I came home from the hospital and I used a pillow to my side so I didn't roll to the center or any other part of the bed. The only real issue I had was getting myself in the sitting stage in the morning and hurt very bad using my stomach. My advice would be to have someone help you be able to sit up in bed in the morning. I did also like to use an extra pillow under my head so I was not flat out of my back. I'm now two weeks post op and feeling much better about sleeping but still use an extra pillow that I hold on my stomach and like hug the pillow and he makes me feel better until I am totally healed. I hope this helps some. If you have any other questions please don't hesitate to ask ????????

I'm off the diabetes, cholesterol & high blood pressure meds! I FEEL GREAT!!! the best move I have ever made ???????? I just had to share ????

Thank you all for your awesome feedback! I will continue to keep everyone updated. @@Dub as for you we will all be here for you too when your time comes for your surgery! I too had the gastric bypass surgery and we can share experiences too! If you have any questions please let me know. Your going to do great and I'm very excited for you too. This is one of the best groups I know of to come and share your story or concerns and questions, the people are awesome ????

I had my bypass done on 8/10/15 and still have issues with one of my wounds not being healed. How long does it normally take to be able to walk? Like I want to be able to take a nice walk though my neighborhood but still to weak to go that far so it feels that way?

Yay tonight I tried Pintos & cheese for only $0.99 and it filled me up I was not able eat all of it. But it was prefect and full of protein.
