Hey There Elyse, First, you are going to be ok! Back off the puréed meats for now, seems a bit too soon. Watch your incesion site from the drain tube. If it starts getting warm and hard, then it's infected and will need to be drained. Happened to me 1 week after drain came out. I'm 3 mo post op and doing great! Take it easy!

Melissa, There seems to be no universal instructions that Docs follow. Each is different in some way and according to my Doc, there are a hundred slight variations to the RNY. So, having that said, it's hard to say if it is too soon or not. Based on my instructions, I was OK to eat those same soft foods at seven days. Something that has really saved me, is cooking a whole chicken and making my own broth. I sauté onions, carrots and celery, jalapeño and toss in some fresh herbs. Then I add Water and some costco chicken base and a whole chicken. Add some seasoning and I cook that for about 3 hours. I strain it and drink on the broth for the week. I usually get about 3 qts to a gal. I heat it up 16 oz at a time and sometimes I will add soy Protein powder. Bobs Red Mill gives you 17gms per 1/4 cup. It's good and beneficial. Good luck, you are going to do just fine! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

You should be fine. By the way, Celebrate makes two kinds of chewable Multivitamins, one is a soft chewy and the other is like a sweet tart. Both are good. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Mushy diet- I hate water and protein shake
RobingAlaska replied to pattyoj's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will try very hard to get at least one premiere Pro Tien strawberries and cream drink down, it gives you 30 g of Protein. You can get unflavored Protein powder and mix it with cream-based Soup or broth to get additional Protien. If you're using crystal light with your Water you should dilute it, because although it is sugarfree, according to my dock too much is not good, it should be diluted. Flavored waters that you do yourself with fresh rosemary fresh meant lemons and cucumbers is very good. You could purchase one of those nice drink dispensers and do something different each day and drink on it. Get your Vitamins and your protein in every day with a total of at least 64 ounces of Fluid, so important. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

What are you eating at 8wks post op RNY?
RobingAlaska replied to countryrose's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Howdy, although I am not an eight week yet I just completed my five weeks, I will say I did a ton of research before having the surgery. My physician told me, that even though the basic surgery of RNY is the same, there are 100 small variations which causes postop instructions to differ to some degree. And physicians are different. I can tell you from what I have read that eating regular food at eight weeks is too soon. Full healing process takes up to six months. As an example, I will share with you the regimen that my doc has me on. All soft foods, and only about a medicine cup full once a day. 60 gms of liquid Protein and a total of 64 ounces of liquid per day. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Hello Miss! I had my RNY on April 27th! Drink your protien and Water, premier protien is good and 30 gms protien. Make sure you are walking everyday! You are going to do great! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Funny, I bet we all have. If we're getting all our protien and Water in, and you pace yourself, you should be able to tame the dragon. Good luck!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
