    Kidney stone

    My daughter had a kidney stone at about 2 months out. It was really painful & passed by itself.

    Swallowing Pills

    4-3 days. I tried Crushing them & mixing with applause but I couldn’t handle the taste! It was nasty!

    There is an app called Get 2 Goal. It tracks your weight & tells you if you are on track.

    Dietician Stuff...help me not be a jerk...

    Just curious, what sort of things were in the diet pack that you don’t agree with? It sounds like you have been paying attention to your body and know it very well. Share your concerns with your nutritionist & trust that they will listen.

    Calorie Intake

    Wow. I was Only at 700-800 calories 2 months out. Measure your food so you aren’t eating more than 3 oz at a meal.

    Need advice please

    You need way more protein! Right now the protein drinks are counting towards your liquid intake. You should be getting 60-90 mg protein a day! I know It is hard at first but that’s what you should be shooting for. It might take you 1/2 hour to drink that much, just go slow.

    Eating at a bar... a new experience.

    I get Water just to make the server feel good. They can’t believe someone wouldn’t even want a glass of water with their meal. My daughter and I both Had a RNY this year. I love Going out to eat because we can share a meal. We got a 6oz steak this week at Black Angus. It was the perfect size for us to share.

    Extreme Intestinal Cramping

    Almost sounds like kidney stones. But you really should see a doctor. If it is an obstruction in your intestines & they rupture it will be a whole lot worse!!!!!

    Headache and migraines

    Alternate between hot & cold water on your head in the shower. Or hot and cold on the back of your neck using a hot rice bag & an ice pack.

    Vegitarians

    Laying eggs is a natural process for birds. If there is no rooster around the eggs are not going to grow into a chick. And nobody likes the smell of rotten 🥚!

    pain control 1.5 years after GBS

    Wow. You just wrote my pain story! You have tried everything that I would suggest except lidocaine patches. They are expensive but I can't live without them. I also wear an neoprene exercise belt around the house when I need heat & ThemoPac when I need heat when I’m not at home. I also take Norco. Some days I take 2 & somedays I don't take any, just depends on the day. So I know I’m not addicted to them. Best of luck finding out something that works for you!

    Accutane (isotretinoin) after RNY?

    Both of my daughters did acutane as teenagers. I did not look at all the risks. They just wanted clear skin. Looking back I would only have put them on it if they had cystic acne. It almost ruined one girls liver. Do your research & take with caution.

    Post op emotions

    I’m just over 5 months out. I’d say it took me about 2-3 months. When others started to notice or family members told me how good I am doing.

    How fast can I bounce back?

    This surgery takes a lot out of you. My daughter had a hard time going back to work in retail at 10 days. She found it hard to get enough protein in to have enough stamina to make it through a 4 hour shift.
  25. I had mine at 53. So glad I did!
