It is hard the 1st couple of weeks. After you figure out what works for you it will get better! The 1st 1-2 weeks are the hardest. You body has been through major change! It will get better! Hang in there!

Being tired is a very typical symptom for anyone with rapid weight loss after a surgery! Our bodies are going through a major change right now! Consult with your surgeon, but my bet Is that he will tell you that is normal. Give yourself some love by not trying to do so much. Your body is still in recovery mode. It will get better & then you will have way more energy then you have had in a long time!

Call your Surgon!!! Please don’t rely on what someone on the internet tells you! It could be nothing, but it could be something!!! Don’t chance it!

The thing I don't like about My Fitness Pal is that it takes into account how much exercise you do and adjust your calories for it. To get it to not do that you have to pay $20 a month & that’s not worth it when there are other apps you can use to count just calories.

I have thrown up twice post RNY. It seams like it wasn’t as much because my stomach is smaller now. I had a different stomach surgery 12 years ago (Fundilipacation) I was told them that I shouldn’t throw up for at least a year because I could rip something. That has always been in the back of my mine after the RNY. I’m almost 2 years out so I’m not as worried now. just be careful if you can.

You will probably be in some type of pain. From the incisions to the gas pain in your shoulder. Yes you get pain meds. Liquid codine, Percocet or Norco. After a few days it can be managed with liquid Tylenol.

Every doctor is different, just follow what they tell you to.

I was mainly focusing on protein at that point.

Did you go to emergency or at least speak with your surgeon? What’s up?

Go to emergency at the hospital where you had your surgery. It’s better to be safe then sorry!

10 days is pushing it. Your body has been through major surgery. You are barley eating at 10 days. Take it slow and easy & take off as much time as your employer allows.

Wow! So glad you are doing so good. Men must be different because I sure wasn’t that much real food 2 weeks out! I was still on liquids! Good for you!

When was your surgery?

That’s wonderful! I totally never thought of regular jeans being a NSV, but it is!!!

The best purre I ate was made from a roast I made for the family with the roast, carrots & some juice!

Your body is going through a lot with major surgery & low calories. Give it time for your body to adjust.

At least they gave you a reason! Good luck on everything!

Following

We took GasX right after. You can take a fiber powder that you mix in water for constipation right now. (I just can’t think of what it’s called right now!) If you think you are really impacted use an enema. You don’t need to lay down on the ground, just use it while sitting on the toilet & hold it in for a few minutes.

Welcome Lee, The pain under your rib could be gas or could be where you were stitched up & it just needs to heal. Some docs have their patients take an antacid for a few months after surgery to help with healing. Ask your doc about that. People think this is taking the easy way out but it’s not, it’s pretty hard. We still have to face our weight demons to keep the weight off! as your weight drops quickly people are going to start asking questions. Have your answer prepared if you don’t want to tell them about the surgery. I person ally think that WLS needs to be talked about more.

Did your doc give you any anti nausea meds? Give him a call & see what he recommends.

I’m so sorry. I can Understand how frustrated you are. That was wrong and rude of your nut to cancel your appointment right before your appointment. Is there anyway you can do a video appointment with them?

I haven’t heard of that happening & it didn’t happen to me.

They say walking helps to get the gas out. The pain in my shoulder lasted 3 weeks! It was horrible!
