I also experienced it! But then I needed a lot of naps during the day... I’m 6 weeks out and that doesn’t really happen anymore.

3.5 days. I was prescribed a stool softener.

Unfortunately looks like I’ll be back for another this week.
Coupled with a 3 week stall I am no happy RNY camper.

I had an endoscopy yesterday and they did see mild stenosis so they dilated a little.
The good news is my staples are healed!

I had my surgery 6/11/18. I can get liquids down but some soft foods, usually meats, are coming back up.

Has anyone needed to do a dialation after RNY? I am having a lot of trouble with vomiting and my surgeon is recommending endoscopic surgery to look into it.

I had surgery at 7 AM Monday and was home by 7 PM on Tuesday. I had to consume 48 oz of Clear Liquids before I was allowed to leave, and needed to be able to walk around without any assistance.
Not sure if it makes a difference but I had RNY.
Good luck! Pack a book and headphones, as well as a pair of loose fitting shorts and/or a robe.

I had mine a couple days after surgery. If you are taking anti coagulants, you can expect things to be a lot more watery. I had my second one not too long ago and it was much heavier flow than I had been having. I have an IUD so usually things are about the same.
I didn’t think to ask the question pre surgery... but I would say it was a little worse than normal. Maybe due to hormonal changes.

Good luck!

I am taking Bariatric Fusion chewables. They are mixed berry flavor.
I haven’t had chewable vitamins since I was a kid but I don’t think they are too bad. I take 4 a day though.

I’ve thrown up a few times. Mostly because I ate too much and didn’t know my limits
It’s very much a mental thing to walk away from a plate that still has food on it. But, if you think you are full, you probably are. You don’t get to make room for more bites in a few minutes - there’s no room.
Just some words of wisdom from someone who’s now thrown up in a neighbors lawn, completely sober.... 🙂

I had the exact same problem! I dropped 20 pounds in about 8 days and then stalled for two weeks.
I started walking more, moving more in general, and it started dropping again. But it was a frustrating two weeks! (Plus it was 100*+ outside!)
it’s a marathon for sure 🙂

Definitely start with lighter weights! Strength takes time and form is more important than amount of weight.
Im about 6 weeks out RNY and I’m just starting to get back into strength training. A slow process but patience and persistence will be the key to success.

Tomorrow is 6 weeks post op! It was tough to be inside when it was so nice out but I’ve been enjoying it now!

I'm joining in! June 11, 2018! Now I need a little ticker thing!

Due to my insurance it was a minimum 6 months of a “medically supervised diet.” I was required to go to the office monthly, meet with nutritionist, have psych evaluation, do blood work, and attend a support group.
Howver with some scheduling issues between me and my office, it took me 10 months from start to surgery date. I am guessing that’s pretty long for most.

My surgeon said coffee or tea with no creamer was fine. They even offered me some the day after my surgery at the hospital! I however am not a coffee drinker.

I am also in UNY! Where did you get yours done?

@GeminiSky so it’s not technically high in Protein, it does have 6g, but the brand is Chilly Cow.
I did read a lot of the Halo top ice creams have a good amount of protein.

Hi- my guess is you probably shouldn’t be doing all that lifting and bending! Did you have any physical limitations from your surgeon? I had surgery on 6/11/18 and I was advised no lifting more than 10 lbs for 4 weeks.

I’m not a medical professional but I know I couldn’t bend over much the first couple of weeks, and I had to get assistance with laundry and groceries and such. It seems like you should take it easy!

It’s really tough, more mentally than anything, to do nothing for a few weeks. But it’s worth it over pushing your body to do what it’s not ready for. I would see if it goes away by the next day and maybe call your surgeon if it persists. (Ice is also helpful for strains!)
