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!

Maybe your pouch just isn’t ready for that stage. Or maybe your pouch doesn’t like the brand of protein you are giving it. It’s. Ok to stay in stage 3 for a little bit longer.

What foods are you cleared to eat at one month out?

I take 300mg in the morning & 600mg at night. I had surgery over 2 years ago. I have been on Gabapentin for about 7 years. At one time I took 1800 mg a day. I take so many different prescriptions it’s hard to pin my nausea on any of them. I just take 1-2 meclizine a day.

Wow! That’s crazy. I have had several & never woke up!

Dust yourself off. Just don’t do it again. Continue to weigh your food so you don’t over eat.

I know exactly how you feel! I have taken up drinking way to much during this time! I keep telling myself I’m not gonna buy anymore & then I buy some more! I have put on 30 lbs & I’m not happy with myself at all!

How wonderful!!!!

It is more then likely the gas that was blown into your abdomen during the surgery. Mine lasted 3 weeks! It just depends on how well your doctor is a getting it out before they close you back up. Heat & walking should help.

Been there & felt the same way! You have just sent your body into shock! It will get better. The dizziness could be from being dehydrated. It is super hard to get in all the protein & water in the 1st couple of weeks. It might take you most of the day to get a whole protein shake down. But in a few days it will be better. Your stomach is still swollen & mad at you. Give it some more time!

My i insurance Cigna has a dietitian & a RN call me every week or so to check on me I received so much help from them. See if your insurance has something like that! My bypass was for medical purposes only. I had a high BMI for my height (36%). Half of my stomach was above my diaphragm. Since my doctor was a Thorasic surgon (and the leading lung replacement doc in my state). The only direction I got from him was to get all my info from the internet! I didn't have any insurance hoops to jump through although it was pretty easy for my daughter to get approval.

Chapstick, pillow, slippers or sandals, phone charger, toiletries You can wear the same clothes home that you wore to the hospital.

Ohmyword! That is crazy. That surgon better have a good explication for cutting you open like that!

Not to scare you but my gas pains in my left shoulder lasted for 3 weeks! Pain pills didn’t really help. Heat helped a lot. My daughter hardly had any pain. It’s all in the technique your surgon uses to remove the gas. My surgeon wasn’t very good at. My daughter’s was good at it.

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.
