This is probably too much information, but since rny gastric bypass in April, I only have a bowl movement once a week. I know this is pretty normal, that is not really my concern. My concern is recently I had a bowel movement, when I got up to flush I noticed there were some solid pieces of food in my bowel movement. I just recently introduced solid food to my diet. I ate broccoli and that was what was solid. I do chew my food well so I am concerned that there was solid food. Any thoughts? Should I be concerned that a solid peice of broccoli was able to go through my stoma?

Thank you, I do get full of other proteins, I am so surprised I was able to fit so much. Could it be because they were so soft?

Hello all I am currently 5 weeks post-op rny gastric bypass. I am on the soft foods stage and have been doing pretty well. I measure my food and try to eat about 2 ounces at a time. This weekend I was at a barbeque and they are shrimp cocktail. The shrimp were very small, but as I was cooking a chatting I noticed I ate about 8 ounces of shrimp. I was not uncomfortable or anything just worried. I am never able to consume this much. Any ideas?

Hello all, my DOS was 04/24/2017. I am 2 to 3 weeks out. I am able to drink broth or water 8 to 12 pounces in one sitting (20 to 30 min) . I know they say liquid goes right through u, but is this to much? I am also able to have eggs, cottage and ricotta cheese, but not only do I not like them but my stomach can't take them. I stick to water and broth and protein drinks. So how much broth is too much?

Hi have no issue getting liquids or proteins in. I am supposed to be adding eggs ricotta cheese, and cottage cheese but no only do I not like them, but my stomach does not tolerate them. I was drinking premier protein, but jyst found this juice/water drink called protein20 that have 15 g of protein and they are delicious

I just realized I posted I had surgery 04/24/2015. When actually it was this year. Have you lost much weight since 4/24. I think it's awesome we had surgery on the same day.

Thank you for the comments, you get so paranoid post op, you think everything can go wrong.

Hello All, I had RNY gastric bypass on 04/24/2015. So I am about 2 or 3 weeks post op. Tonight I think I took to large of a bite or didn't chew it well enough, and I felt like it was stuck in my chest. I was able to get the food to go down with some fluid. I am concerned that too large of a bite and the fluids can stretch my pouch/stoma. Even though this has only happened once is it a possibility to stretch them? Any help would be great
