HW = 428 Gastric Bypass on September 19, 2016 Today's Weight = 352

I would suggest Gas-X Strips to cope with the gas pain...if you haven't already tried them. This is a post I just received that provides a solid overview of the issue of gas following bariatric surgery: Gas Relief After Weight Loss Surgery

Thanks for clearing up the term "Full" liquids for me.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Full" liquids, however, my bariatric team recommended sugar-free beverages such as Crystal Light, Propel, Fruit20, Powerade Zero, Sugar-Free Kool-Aid, etc. Personally, I relied upon, Propel and Crystal Light. Hope this helps.

My Nutritionist and Bariatric team strongly recommended Premier Protein both pre and post for easy protein. The only drawback to the Protein shakes were they made it necessary for me to begin mixing in some additional Fiber to my yogurt and other soft foods. In addition to Premier Protein, I've began to also use EAS Myoplex Original with 42 grams of Protein. I drink 1/2 to start the day and then the other 1/2 later in the day. I especially like their chocolate Fudge flavor. I just had my 5 week post-op visit with my doctor and the bariatric team and I am down 64 pounds from my HW and 28 pounds from my weight on the day of my procedure.

I was advised to take them with unsweetened applesauce, however, I soon began to add them to Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt and that added an extra 15 grams of Protein in the morning and another 15 grams in the evening. I have a mix of pills with some needing to be taken in the morning and others at night before I go to bed.

Excellent advice from what I've been advised.

You are a brave one, Heather! My RNY was on September 19th and "bread" is not anywhere on my immediate horizon or the program laid out for me by my Doctor and Bariatric team.

I just celebrated reaching four weeks post RNY. I was heavily restricted to 1 oz. each 15 minutes for the first 10 days, however, after that, I have had absolutely no problem consuming a high volume of liquids. I try to base my water/liquid intake on proper hydration levels adjusted to my gender, age, height and weight and by doing that my ultimate target is over double the much trumpted 64 oz target. There are numerous hydration calculators available online.

Can I have regular yogurt while on liquid diet Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I'm 29 days out with my RNY. During the early phase, I relied on Premier Protein shake, EAS Myoplex and Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt for protein. Still using a combination of them to get an early boost of protein to start my day. If I use the Premier Protein Shake and an Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt to start my day, I have just taken in 45 protein units. If I use the Myoplex, I drink 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 later in the day with an Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt and it gives me 36 protein units to start my day. Hope that helps.

Walking is an important element in your recovery and program. There is nothing to say you can't get your steps in by walking inside in your home. Break it down into 5 minute blocks and try to do two of them your first week and increase it by two more in week two, three, etc. If you have a pedometer or fitbit it can keep fairly reliable track for you and record your progress online. Don't let your parents or others get you down! Just take care of yourself by taking care of yourself and following YOUR program.

Glad to be able to add a little light to your day!

I've been asking myself that same question and it prompted me to begin posting some bariatric friendly recipes and cooking tips here: https://www.pinterest.com/RonnieBob428/boards/

HW = 428 Preop = 419 Day of Procedure (9/19/16) = 392 10 days post-op = 383 Today = 378 Total of 50 lbs.

My RNY was on the 19th of September and the Doctor has me crushing all pills until the 19th of October. I can hardly wait to bypass the foul tasting ground up meds. I've been mixing with unsweetened Applesauce or Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt

I just got the go ahead for this stage yesterday and had 1/4 cup of fat free refried Beans with a sprinkling of low-fat cheese for dinner last night.

You are not the problem, Yani. Your Primary Doctor is a major problem if they would rather yell at you than support your efforts. I can remember when my mother's doctor saw her purchasing pies at Marie Calendars for a party she was hosting and accused her of "cheating" on her diet without ever attempting to discover who they were really for or the back-story.

You are very welcome

My RNY was on the 19th with no complications. I wasn't cleared for mashed potatoes ( 1 to 2 oz or 1/4 cup max) until last Friday the 30th when I moved to Phase 2 of the post-op diet. I would check with your bariatric team or your bariatric nutritionist.

I was just cleared for phase 2 of the post-op diet and would like to know if it is alright to use olive oil for a scrambled egg? Not sure what other healthy options there are at this stage?

I use OptiSource. 4 chewables a day for the rest of my life. The bariatric team nutrition suggested I take two in the morning and two at night. They don't have to be spread throughout the day.

Thanks for the great tip!

How did you get that body weight ticker??? I need thatGo to the settings wheel to the right of your name at the top of the page and click on the ticker link in the dropdown menu. It will provide the appropriate code to add to sites and posts. The bottom code is the one to use for these forumsIm on the app, i dont see itYou may need to go to the website to create the ticker and generate the codeI think i got it!!!!! Congratulations, Kaycee

During phase 2 of the post-op diet, meals are limited to 1-2oz or 1/4 cup. The bariatric cream Soups are 6 to 8 oz when mixed. Since they are also "liquid" meals, does this mean I should consume 1/4th cup for a meal and consume the other 6 oz over 3 separate meals or if it can be consumed until full?
