I had my RNY on December 14, 2015. So far, I have lost 40lbs. I am in the process of slowing introducing new foods and it has been a challenge. The foods that I think we'll make me sick don't and the foods I should be eating I can't. Tonight, I tried something new and I have some serious nausea going on. I've only vomited three times since surgery. However, I still have trouble getting in protein and drinking enough water. I can only drink half a protein shake in one hour. If I try to drink any more than half, I get sick. My question is will I feel normal and what is the average time frame?

Since I stopped taking the medication, have not had any problems. But I will continue to monitor my situation.

I was taking 5 ml twice a day. Probably preventative. Going to not take the dose tonight and eat something different.

So it's me again expanding on one point of my"everything is disgusting " topic. So, the stool (diarrhea, liquid lava) is awful. My doctor prescribed a stool softener to take twice a day but it is more of a stool liquifier. About two hours after I eat breakfast is when it starts and it goes throughout the day. To keep things consistent, I have eaten the same each day. I am going to withhold my dose of softener to see if this helps. Any other suggestions? Please, my "arse" hurts.

I had laporoscopic bypass on Monday and have one little spot that still is painful. For the most part, I am off pain meds except for liquid Tylenol now and then. Everyone is different.

I had my surgery on December 14, 2015 and I guess everything has been going okay except for a few things: The post-op meds are disgusting. Since I can't swallow anything bigger than a tic-tac, most of my pills (new and existing meds)have to be crushed. I choke to get them down. Even the calcium supplement makes me gag. Next is the food. I haven't found much to eat that appeals to me. Since the place I am staying at (for a few more days) doesn't have a blender, I have found cream of chicken soup to be the least objectionable. The final thing that is disgusting are the bowel movements. Does any of this get easier and less gross?
