You are doing fantastic! Not everyone loses at the same pace. So many variables to consider. Beautiful job, keep up the good work! I'm down 61, 4 months out. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

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

Sounds terrible, I'm so sorry. I would get back in front of your surgeon. James, great response and info provided, nice job. 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

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

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

How are you today, better? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi, I know how you feel. You can take Colace, my doc said 2, 2x day until I was doing ok, then you can regulate as needed. Milk of Mag is good too. Make sure you are getting your 64 oz of Water in. Good luck! Everything else ok? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Stupid you know, it is as good AM in airport Parking garage, no one around to help. I now have pain returned where it has been healing. Anyone have a similar experience? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Would be interesting to know what your discharge orders were? Did you have RNY or sleeve? Based on my doc directions (surgerys and docs so different) 64 oz of liquid is criticle. Homemade chicken broth saved me! I would be concerned about that OJ, unless you were told to do it. This is a good forum, great feedback here. Best of luck, you're going to do great!

Soft scrambled eggs, I also do Campbell's split pea with ham Soup, but I use a food processor and purée it, it's really good. You can also add unflavored Protein powder to your cream Soups to add that extra protein. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It should be walking every two hours for about 15 minutes not two hours a day, not this soon. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I haven't had that issue, but it sounds very uncomfortable. Your liquid only stays in your tummy for about 20 minutes at most, so it shouldn't be your Protein shake. I would suggest you call your doc. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Give it time. Be careful of that drain tube incision, easy for body bugs to crawl in that saying and you could get an infection, exactly what happened to me on day 10. My drain tube came out on day seven, flew home and started having issues. Make sure that area stays clean. The polling pain is very normal, do your walking, take it easy and take your pain meds. You should have gotten a liquid narcotic pain med as well as a prescription for nausea medication. If you didn't, call your doctor. Trust me, it helps. I was off of my pain meds at day 12. I am four weeks postop yesterday, and the pain is finally subsiding I can hardly tell it anymore. You have been through major surgery, you will start feeling better.
