I am also still on full liquids. My surgery date was Aug. 17th, so I'm 4 days post RNY. I am able to finish for the most part an 11 oz Protein shake if I take small sips for 20 - 30 min. The thing I'm struggling with is the bloating. If I eat anything even Water, my stomach distends and bloats and is very uncomfortable to stand or walk. Anybody else experiencing this? Other wise I feel great! Hard to tell whats normal or just if it's something I should try to change. Thought I'd throw that out there and see if you guys had this too. All so new and very exciting! Love that I have all of you out there to count on. Blessing your way!

My surgery was also on Monday. And I experienced about the same. Each day was much better than the one before. I am so excited to be on this side of things! I'm no longer taking anything for pain but I'm using an ice pack on my largest incision and drain site if they get to stinging too bad. It really works well. Is anyone else extremely bloated to where it is uncomfortable to have clothes on. I've been in comfy PJs since I got home. These gas pains are no fun, but very doable. I love that we can share our journey together like this. So helpful. Stay strong guys. We are going to do this!

Is there anyone out there who are on the 2 week pre-surg liquid diet?

I remember my phone call to say I was approved by my insurance. I was so happy I was in tears with excitement.
