It's normal. I was scared all the way up until they wheeled me off to the operating room. You will do fine. Just remember the outcome. Good luck!

Congrats! You look amazing

Congrats

No stupid questions, I had scrambled eggs and I just mashed it with a fork. Most things can be mashed with a fork if you can tolerate it. During this stage I ate a lot of Soup, Protein Drinks and Jello.

6 weeks I was down 63 pounds.

Good luck!

Good luck!

Best wishes! You got this

I'm having the same issue. I have problems getting liquids in especially Water. I've thrown it back up a few times.

I'm 4 weeks post op and my poor fiance, he has been grossed out on more than one occasion. I constantly apologize for the horrendous stench. Haha

Awesome! Congrats!

I was getting all of my fluids in pretty quickly after surgery. I was super strict about it. I had a timer to remind me every 15 minutes to drink my 1 ounce thimble.

With that said, my two first appointments I found out I was dehydrated. Had to sit there for several hours and receive fluids. Its been better since, though.

Glad to hear you're doing better. I'm still struggling to get the fluids in.

Some individuals find it difficult to meet the daily requirements after surgery. This is because your stomach needs time to heal and this can take a couple weeks or more. But just keep trying and you should be able to get there.

The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

Be willing to experiment. After surgery, my taste buds changed dramatically. Even Water changed. In the hospital it tasted excessively chlorinated and I could not drink it. So I experimented. sugar free popsicles became my best friend. Some individuals find hot or cold can help with fluids. For me, I found that I could tolerate flavored water. So I began using Crystal Light. I also found a new drink Bai which I liked cold. In the winter, I found that I tolerate hot drinks such as piping hot cocoa. But you have to use the "No Sugar Added" variety. Also fine English teas were very good.

Thank you for the info. I also have a problem with Water tasting funny. I tried crystal light last night but I don't think my stomach liked it. I will try to look for the other items you mentioned.

They gave me an IV fluids and released me. They said my vitals are ok now. I just need to make sure I get enough liquids and I need to change my Protein Drinks to a Water based one.

Good luck!

So today I came for my post op 2 week check up. I found out not only am I not getting enough Protein (I'm having trouble with wanting to eat) but I'm also dehydrated. Remember everyone. Fluids, fluids, fluids. Has anyone else had this issue?

Congrats and good luck! I had mine 2 weeks ago today, I was very excited too.

Congrats!

I got mine right after surgery as well.

Hi I'm 2 weeks post op Roux-En-Y and my stomach does it all the time. I'm like omg can anyone else hear that too? I think it's normal.

Good luck!

Good luck!

I had my surgery on the 8th of this month and I've lost 33 pounds. I'm very surprised by the loss but also am having issues with eating so that might be why. Also I had the Roux-En-Y.

I had my surgery on the 8th of this month. Didn't poop for 9 days. I even asked friends and family that had RNY how long it was before they could go. I was so relieved when it finally happened. I have issues with the premier shakes too, never hungry so I basically have to force myself to drink it in the morning then try to remember to keep drinking Water all day. I've been eating creamy type, Soups not from the can tried that blech. I think that might be helping with moving things along. The only thing I seem to crave is sugar free Jello even that takes a while to get down. I tried a chocolate, sugar free pudding, it took me 2 days to eat the little container. I love chocolate too. So taste buds are definitely different. Good luck with everything.

Congrats! You look amazing.
