Tomorrow is my 2 week post-op appointment and I am so excited to have something that isn't liquid!! Wondered if anyone had any favorite ideas for the "soft/purée" stage. A scrambled egg sounds like filet mignon at this point! . I had my RNY on 1/25, which was a conversion from a very unsuccessful and complicated vertical banded gastroplasty which I had done in 2010. Nothing but problems with that....reflux, choking, vomiting. Hoping to feel better and get healthy now that I have the RNY..... Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App
Prayers headed to both BerMichele09 and Jazzle!! I am one week post-op now and feel really good. Since I started my pre-op diet on 1/15, I have lost 14.6 lbs.

Never. Sorry, the risks to the new stomach and new life you have been given are just not worth it. Be strong! You got this!

@ Sxapeel - I'm new too. I had my RNY on 1/25. I took the Miralax powder the day after I was discharged from the hospital just to avoid constipation. It worked and I'm glad I didn't wait until there was a problem. Good luck!

I had RNY on 1/25 and have been home working on making sure I get my recommended 48-60 oz of Fluid a day. What has helped the most is changing what I drink frequently. I have a Protein shake first, then some Water or crystal light, then chicken broth, then Protein Shake, then SF popsicle. The variety makes it much easier and more tolerable!
