From my experience you need to figure out the right combination of protein and fluids for you!

Yeah same I was super excited to get the surgery done !!!

It's 5lbs don't stress. my ideal range is anywhere between 185-205 given by doctor.

Google is your friend..there's so many kinds and so many flavours

Good morning everyone. Its late here in Australia but today (it's just turned Monday) I'll be 2 weeks post op! 14lbs since surgery; 80lbs since started my diet. I've been keeping track of everything and I'm feeling fine. Drinking water and shakes without any issues. HW 322 CW 242 GW 190 THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT

Yes need to double the protein and water.. Very bad for you to get dehydrated...

I was free of major pain after 3 days but still have to be careful bending over or carrying heavy things even shopping

I'm 2 weeks post op still on liquids no dumping but obviously only on liquids so BM runny lol No issues with water or shakes goals.

What was starting weight. How much protein Are you getting.. How many calories.. How much water...

You might have an issue with lactose.. In that case look for natural protein or pea protein or even whey isolate i think...

Yes need more information

Protein is very important..not only does it help your body heal it also helps build muscle and not let your body turn to skin and bones not to mention the added amino acids in most decent protein.. And vitamins are taken daily because you will struggle to get enough from food early on... I've been taking chewable multivitamin I got from the hospital since day 3..feeling good now 2 weeks out... I also disagree with choosing to only follow what rules you like..this surgery is hard on the body and I don't see why you would get surgery Just to sabotage yourself by heading down the slippery slope of cheating.... Everybody says oh I'll only have one cheat meal.. One turns into 2 and into 5...then you'll complain in 6 months why didn't I lose much????

Thanks everyone

Hey guys felt like writing a separate thread. I had my RNY 7 days ago top be exact. I've always been a big water drinker due to kidney issues. I expected post op not to be able to drink much but I'm still drinking like 3 litres a day just taking smaller mouthful and taking my time between bottles of water but definitely not feeling any issues Drinking this much.. It's like half of what i used to preop but I'm still constantly thirsty postop so water and protein shakes are no issues i just drink slower to be safe.. I'm not complaining it just feels like did I have surgery... Well besides the pain and weird noises coming from inside and the holes in my belly.. I guess when I get onto the next stages of food I'll feel more but the best thing is I'm not hungry much and I don't crave things as much.. But this is early days only 7 days post op thus far. Glad to be home though. Just curious if other people had similar story post op I've seen so many ppl struggling to get any fluids in?? Cheers guys .

You will need to be on liquids post op as well I'm day 14 post op still on shakes and water everyday. Did try a little yoghurt but taking it slowly gotta give your pouch time to heal and adjust... (RNY)

My BM just liquid sorry TMI (well like dark green) kinda like a babys first time i guess since technically our stomach is brand new with RNY lol

That's crazy man well done I've got myself a couple small dumbbells with 20kgs of Individual weights to try... I've never ever lifted before but I know it will help with my arm flab loose skin well I hope so!!

Is your surgeon or doctor going to do a new surgery?

As been mentioned 100 times before you are most likely still full of gas and bloated from surgery and stomach still healing... Wait a few weeks weigh again please.

Yeah doing fine now.. no issues with water or protein

28th here too RNY

I got loose fitting pj pants and track pants once they let me out of the gown...

I hear you I've been home 5.5 days so far I'll be 2 weeks post op in 2 days trying to rest as much as possible

Start by removing the bad foods and temptation from your house because I'm sure most insurances require some kind of weight loss before surgery?

Much rather 5x 1 inch scars over a massive long one..
