    RIght after I had my sticture fixed, I felt great great again, I waited until next day to start fluids and everything went back to normal..... I am on soft foods again 15 days after the procedure... No big deal, but last night I had a pouch of tuna for the first time since WLS and it upset my stomach... It hurts ... I hope to feel better later today.....

    Hi boliramirez.. how are you feeling.. ?

    I am sorry to hear that, I was in the same spot last week , I spent a week without been able to eat or drink anything... I am afraid that you have an stricture.... I had to get a laparoscopic procedure where they inflated the stricture in order to fix it.... The down side in my case was that I paid for my surgery and had to pay for this procedure as well... It is a matter of 15 minutes and you are sedated so no biggie... You should call your doctor.....
    I hope you get better....

    Thankyou !! I came home and still got sickies after drinking plain Water . But after that I was ok . We shall see in the morning how I feel . If not they want to do an upper gi . I definanately do not want to have to get another procedure like you had to do !! Are you feeling better now ? But I do know that my surgeons office doesn’t charge for something like that . They say it’s all included since I’m still in their care

    Well I think you should be getting in more Fluid than that and if your nauseated and dizzy you could be dehydrated. I was dizzy too , I almost passed out in the shower this morning but I caught myself . And so nauseated and dry heaves . You should call your surgeon right away . I am glad I did and soooo hoping I wake up felling better tomorrow after 1 iv if potassium chloride and 1 iv if sodium chloride . If I’m still stuck tomorrow they want to do an upper gi

    Thought my pouch wasn’t working Post-Op. Seriously thought of calling my surgeon, but alas the patience is paying off. My pouch does work. Here’s the breakdown week1-week 5 post op rny.

    (242lbs highest wt. and surg day was 227lbs after liquid diet (started using NO SODIUM BROTHS & it flew off then)

    Week 1-2 no hunger.

    Week 3 felt hunger again but it was satisfied very easily with tiny portions of Puréeds(1/4 cup).

    Week 4 had a little more hunger and needed more to satisfy at times 1/4-1/2 cup Puréeds.

    On week 5 (mech soft diet starting now) & not hungry at all again. Forgotten to eat 3 times already, so this week is different. The weights FLYING off about a pound a day now. (Initially I lost 6 lbs the day I was discharged from hosp, but...

    NOTHNG ELSE LOST week 1 or week 2:(

    Week 3 lost 3 lbs.

    Week 4 lost 4 lbs.

    At my 1 month post op visit I’de lost 13 lbs post op, but lost 27lbs total with preop liquid diet included. (Ok ok ok so not bad afterall...)

    Week 5 lost 6 lbs

    I’m losing at about pound per day now. So my body is letting go of weight finally at a much faster pace. It’s crazy how it wouldn’t move AT ALL week 1-2!

    Just starting week 6 at still about a pound per day loss still so far..

    Total lost now: 33 lbs w/ Preop included.

    Crazy how my body/ metabolism was so slow to engage in wt loss. Prob due to needing to see if I was starving or if I would still give my body Protein & nourishment & when it saw I was eating foods again (albeit in much smaller portions) but it started letting go then.

    Curious what others post op wk by wk breakdown looks like & if this is typical..?

    I had my RNY on 10/30 and my surgery weight was 330.5.. i lost 15 lbs the first 2/12 weeks home and now i have been stalled for like 10 days... hoping it moves soon!!! you sound just like me !

    I had my follow up with my surgeon today finally .. usually they do 1 week but he was out . It’s been 2. 1/2 weeks . I get to go back to work tomorrow yay ! I am so ready ! Because I’m bored . I am down 12 lbs and feeling great all except for the pain next to my right side incision. He said there are stitches in my abdominal muscles there to prevent a hernia . ANd it’s normal for them to start hurting now because I am doing more . Other than that he said I’m great ! Down 37.5 lbs since April and on track . I just gotta remember to eat slower . I have done that three times nd it hurts so bad you would think I would learn quicker !!

    Really? I’m sooo jealous [emoji31]
    I’m still on clear and milk liquids.< br>I’m not allowed soft cheese or purées for another 2 weeks I think



    You’ll get there . I was dying . We go from Clear Liquids / milk Protein to soft. No puréed stage . But I did try scrambled egg and nope . Did not set well maybe I will try it in a chicken salad or something Z later . Weird how all programs are different . I can’t have fruits and veggies yet . And that’s what I want a banana sounds so good and a salad. I just want a salad but that’s like the last thing I can have. Like week 10

    I have pain across the top of my stomach-just underneath my breasts. Sharp pains when I take deep breaths. My drain tube site wont stop leaking. I go through 4 doubled up sterile pads every 3-4 hours. My skin is so raw from the tape. It literally bleeds when I have to pull the tape off. I also split one of my sites. So that is another open wound. Honestly, its tiring. Day 6 and it seems im moving backwards. My follow up isnt until Friday. And, my surgeons do surgeries on Monday and Tuesday. So, I wait...

    Well I am taking liquid Vicodin although I’m trying not to take more than I need I am lucky I guess I don’t have to have a drain. Incisions look good. They have Steri strips on them I’m not supposed to take them off , but I do keep bandaids on top of them . I’m just tired . I can’t sleep and irritable . I wear my binder they provided me almost 24/7 . It helps with the pain . My follow up isn’t until the 16th but bari. 500 class is on the 9th :) that’s when I get purreed food

    I had my op Saturday. 28/10/17...having pain on the right just like you but coping fine, not had any hunger but have had a few cravings. I started at 18 stone 1lb so will see where I am in a month.
    Also I have 7 incisions !! :/ Not sure why

    Sent from my MediaPad T1 8.0 Pro using BariatricPal mobile app


    I don’t know why we would have extra incisions. Having trouble sleeping tonight for sure. Still have a lot gas’s but haven’t “located “ my Pouch yet. No full feeling not empty feeling either .
