Definitely premiere protein shakes— blended with ice cubes to make them last longer and more filling . Sugar free popsicles tame the need for sweets ! Still do post op :) You’ve got this— it’s amazingly worth it!

Trip shouldn’t be an issue at all and you should definitely go!! Food and drink on the other hand will/ May be an issue.

Premiere protein typically works for folks doing a liquid diet prior to surgery. They taste really good too- sweet but good . Many flavors

Congrats and enjoy the journey!

Likely really high sugar content may not be a good idea

You’ll do great!

Bypass was really uneventful for me - what are some of your fears and maybe we can help ease them a bit?

I’d be concerned with the dumping issue- I’d reach out to your dr ASAP. A year and a half out -yikes

The rny was really easy for me- what are you specifically nervous about and maybe folks can help ease your mind?

I’m with the recliner people! Then moved to a pillow under my side and my back so I was propped in the side position but not totally on my side. It helped. Give it a couple of weeks and you’ll be back sleeping on your side

No issues with spicy here- I’d stay away from Takis though ? Maybe try spicy hummus with veggies ?

Look at peoples tickers or info on the side - that should give you some ideas I lost all of the excess weight in about 6 months. On the last 15 lbs to goal

You’ll do awesome! Breathe, it’ll be over before you know it and onto a fantastic journey. Walk a lot to get rid of gas pains

Seems like maybe too much too fast. Sound advice so far - and I second it— slow it down a bit . And no, the uncomfortable feeling doesn’t last forever but the smaller amount does . At 6+months I’m at about 3/4-1 cup and feel full.

I had a bypass . Mainly for maximum weight loss and to get rid of any chance of reflux . I also notice(d) that many sleevers tend to have revision to bypass for medical reasons . I didn’t want to chance having two surgeries . I’ve had zero issues, pain or vomiting etc or anything people tend to think of when they think rny Good luck with your decision

Love the look on your face! Days like those are amazing!

I had the same issue for a couple of months. Try hot water - or decaf teas . Hot water was easier to sip for me!

Try hot water ... cold water really bothered me for a long time. The hot water (decaf tea etc) worked

Consider bypass if you have reflux

I had RNY in December… Zero nausea zero gas and zero tell me sounds

If you still feel feverish - you may want to call dr

I don’t think I had one for over week. Take the Miralax Absolutely don’t have raisins or oj Smooth move tea works - but cramps your stomach for about 15 min. It works though Feel better

Some draining can be normal- I think you’re fine to wait til Monday if it isn’t red and don’t have a fever etc . As folks mentioned- keep it clean and covered Good luck Monday !

Way to go!

My NUT says weigh cooked. That said remember volume and weight are different. (Ie 4 oz of ground turkey may be more than 1/2 c) so just watch what you’re weighing with regards volume. But then again your stomach should help tell you too
