I dont think you will be up for it. You are going to be in pain. You are going to be tired the 1st few weeks. You probably won’t be cleared to drive yet.
-
Take a deep breath & enjoy the feeling! Congratulations!
-
Yes it is. Some people find that taking Bioten helps them. Others just get their hair cut shorter.

Hhuumm that is an interesting question. I take pain meds & haven’t really thought about how my RNY has affected them. I did talk with my pain specialist about it a few weeks ago & he said he didn’t see any reason that they shouldn’t work the same now.

Sending good vibes! Hospital check list: chapstick, toiletries, own pillow, slippers or slide on sandals, phone charger, wear same comfy clothes home that you wore to the hospital. -
To never even test your new self to see if you can have sugar ever again! I’ve slipped back into my horrible eating habits & have gained 25 lbs. I’m so upset with myself & I’m having a hard time getting back on track. Those food & alcohol demons will always be with me!

Fresh mozzarella is really soft. I would Say yes as long as it’s not deep fried.

Your stomach is still a muscle. It will stretch & it will go back. This is how the Surgon explained it to me.

That’s wonderful!

Hypothyroidism and Gastric Bypass
toodlerue replied to Sabs211's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
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!

Favorite Fitness Calorie Tracking App???
toodlerue replied to GAjeepGirl's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
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.

Just finished 1st week of liquid diet
toodlerue replied to ThatDudeCK's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
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.

toodlerue replied to Slimming Down Steve's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
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?
