So far so good. For 2 days you eat fruit, veggies, grains & protein. Then protein & veggies for 2 days (that’s the hardest). Then fruit, veggies, grains, protein & healthy fats for 3 days. There is just a lot of food to eat! Then you start all over again the next week. It’s really clean eating & I have not had as much pain in my hips as usual!!! So that’s a huge positive for me!

Anyone do the Fast Metabolism Diet to take off regain? How did you handle eating all of the required food? We’re you hungry all of the time & how did you handle that? We (making hubs do it with me too since I’m the one that does all the cooking) are starting our 2nd week today but I am just now realizing how much food a person needs to eat on it!

Sorry insurance is being such a butt head!!! They can be so frustrating! Hang in there, it will happen.

You need to contact your surgeon. Didn’t they give you anything for nausea? You should not be throwing up so soon after surgery because you will get dehydrated & YOU CAN RIP YOUR INCISIONS! I was told to do everything that i can so that I don’t throw up for at least a year!

Doesn't take long at all.

I'm so, so sorry for your loss. That has got to be really hard. People seem to really only think about what the mother of the child is going through. The rest of the family goes thought devastating greif & loss too. Please find someone to talk to or a support group to help you get throught this.

Wow! Your backside looks amazing 😂🤩😉

SO SORRY! I meant Meclizine (Dramamine).

I’m over 2 years out & carry meloxicam with me all the time. I have to take at least 4 times a week. I buy it on Amazon.

This is something you should talk to your doctor about. As a nursing couple you need a certain amount of quality calories to maintain breast feeding if you want to continue it. There are also some meds you can take that are safe for the baby that can increase your milk production. You could also seek out the help of a lactation consultant One helped me tremendously! I wish you the best of luck with continued breast feeding if that’s what you want to do. My youngest & I were a nursing couple for 28 months & it was amazing to provide so much of the “good stuff” for so long.

I took meclizine (Dramamine) for almost a year out from my RNY. I am 2.5 years out now & I carry it in my purse & have to take some at least once a week. I buy it by the bottle in Amazon. I sometimes still have 2 protein drinks a day. It’s just easier & then I’m not eating crappy food either. If I’m going somewhere around lunch time I take one with me in a lunch box.

Have you seen an internist or a naturopath?

I wear the same thing home that I wore to the hospital. You won’t be in them for very long either day. Your own pillow. You may need it in the car on the way home to hold against your tummy if the roads are bumpy. And what everyone else said.

I have been using PatchMD vitamins. My vitamin levels have been fine.

I used to before I had a RNY. I always kept a can of Coke in the fridge to take a couple of swallows to help the food go down. At a restaurant I would always order a Coke just incase. If would be miserable if I waited until it happened & I asked the server to bring me one.

If the kids don’t care about traditional Thanksgiving Day food get food from your favorite restaurant or make a special meal. Play some silly games. Go to the movies. Just make some memories together. I too am dealing with an empty nest this year. My youngest moved 1100 miles away 2 months ago! My husband is working 6 12 hour days a week right now. It’s just me & the dogs home all day long!

I had to Google the hospital because I have never heard of that one and I’ve lived in Phoenix since 1967. Good Sam is a good hospital but I didn’t know they did gastric bypass there. Good luck to you!

Never heard of that before. Who is your surgeon in Phoenix? What hospital will you be at. Asking because my daughter & I have both had a RNY but with dr in the Phoenix area.

Is this what your doc recommended to use? I have never heard of it before. I think most of us just used broths, juices or a protein shake.

Where is the pain at? Is it the pain in your left shoulder? That’s pain from the gas they use to blow your abdomen up. That pain depends on how well your surgeon is at getting all the gas out. Mine lasted 3 weeks & it was bad! My daughter had a different surgeon as did have any pain! Heat & a tens unit helped me through it.

I loved reading your story. Thanks for sharing it with us. Food is always gonna be a struggle, surgery just helps you get to your goal faster. Just like an alcoholic has to remain sober. Obesity is a disease. Please follow all of the guidelines that your surgeon gives you!!! I wish I would have never let sugar & alcohol back into my life. I am struggling so much right now. Best of luck to you.

Usually 6 weeks. Just like any other major surgery!

I do Pilates 5 days a week. I can’t go on walks because of hip problems. I wish I could!

I Googled that & Google didn’t even really know! It’s not just the pain from the gas that is used to inflate the abdomen during surgery? Mine hurt for 3 weeks! I always have trouble with that! Hope they figure it out for you!

Why did you have this test? What surgery did you have & when? I think something is wrong with me so Im curious about you!
