Howdy all post ops! I will be 4 weeks post op RNY Wednesday. I continue to have a bugging pain/tenderness on the left, in the vicinity of the largest incision when I bend or twist. I asked my doctor about it and she keeps saying it's normal, but it doesn't feel normal after four weeks. The intensity hasn't changed, and I would think if it was healing it would. I did have an infection in my drain tube incision, it had to be drained and I was put on anabiotic's, it is cleared up now. Anyone else experienced this? Any ideas? Thanks!

Hi, my Dr didn't have me start vit until week 2. And I only take Bariatric vit, Bariatric Advantage. You can buy them from their website or from Amazon. You can ask your Dr for an anti-nausea medication to take with your pain meds until you don't need them anymore. Good luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Do you have a drain tube in? How does your incisions look? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had my RNY on 27 April. I was on a liquid diet two weeks prior to the surgery. I did the following and it got me through: Made homemade chicken broth twice a week. I sautéed carrots celery onions and jalapeño, added costco chicken base and a whole chicken and cooked it slow, added a little Sage bay salt-and-pepper and garlic powder. This makes an amazing broth, of course you have to scoop off the fat after it is chilled. I drink 16 ounces of this for lunch and dinner and it really helped. For Protein drinks I did I superior deluded. I also drank two Premier Protein shakes a day for a total of 60 g of protein. Sugarfree Popsicles or my dessert. I made it!

Hi, i'm two weeks postop RNY and I had a drain tube for one week after surgery. The incision started draining 2 days ago, and it appears I have an infection in the incision so I need to go have it drained. Anyone else have that issue? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks! Drain tube came out a week ago. Ended up in the ER yesterday and they drained his pocket of Fluid that had developed around the incision and become infected, then they packed it and gave me some anabiotic's. Hopefully this takes care of the problem and I can get this passed me!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm having same issue, 2 weeks post op. Looks like I have an infection at that drain tube incision. It started draining 2 days ago. It started getting hard under the incision so I talked to my surgeon and she said I needed to see my primar doc or go to ER. I live in ALaska and had my surgery in Dan Diego. So frustrating.

GNC has them in singles in their cooler! Don't drink them undiluted though, turn 40 gms into about 40oz of liquid. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey Kat, Do these last 2 weeks clear liquid and protien shakes. Rule, NEVER more than 4 total carbs in your Meal Replacement. I am 4 days post op. My doc puts her pts on 2 weeks liquid prior to surgery. sugar free Jello, broth, keep it at about 60 grms protien per day. I started on 1 meal replacement Jan 4. Went to two Meal Replacements mid March, all liquid on April 14. Went from 291 to 248. Let me know how I can help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I am 4 days post op, keep a Water bottle with you all the time and take sips. The ready to drink Isopure has 40 grams. You can take half and dilute it and sip on that throughout the day, that will help with liquids and Protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey JoeVegas, I had my cardio test, EKG, and it came back with a blip. They said I had to do a stress test, and intravenous one since I have a bunged knee. I was terrified!!! It ended up being a breeze, no discomfort. Good luck, you're going to do just fine! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
