Totally. Honestly, I would be okay with feeling less restriction if I knew that something wasn’t wrong! I was just worried I did some sort of damage. I’m able to measure and watch my portions!

That's not the point for everyone.
There is misconception that some foods make you fat, and that healthy weight individuals don't eat those "bad" foods. When the reality is it is (mostly) about finding the calories that either keep you losing or maintaining weight. Also for me, and I sure for others as well, it's about finding a balance of foods that don't make me feel deprived.

Does anybody ever have a meal and it go straight through you?

Hi,

My doctor doesn’t permit any Protein Shakes after 2 weeks. I know it’s unusual, but he is a really good doctor.

I’m having trouble meeting my Protein count! Can I just put protein into the food I’m eating? If so, do you have any suggestions?

I’m allergic to nuts if they makes any difference.

Thanks

Good look to you! I am going through INOVA Bariatric Center in Fair Oaks Va. Not to far from Reston. Wishing you the best and a speedy recovery

Yeah! I called today. They told me they think my bites are too big and want me to use a baby spoon. If that doesn’t work I will go in!

I’m pretty sure it’s food! It can happen when I eat very slowly and with foods that I’ve had no probs with. However, it’s always after eating! I just don’t know what could be causing it!

Yeah I’m on them :/ did your doc say you could have done damage

I’m going to tell the doctor ASAP, but I’ve thrown up like five times this week and wretched a lot (I have my period). Have I done damage to my pouch? Freaking out!

Friends...I was able to eat two eggs, half an avocado, and two wasa (the thin airy ones) crackers for dinner!! I still have yet to experience the full feeling. I’m kind of freaking out. Is that normal?

What sorts of things cause you to be re-admitted?




I'm 17 days post-op today, and I'm feeling fairly "normal", all things considered. Wounds have mostly healed up. Not feeling gas when I eat like I was. I was able to eat avocado and spicy tuna tartare for lunch and dinner yesterday with no ill effects. Apart from getting full very fast (and struggling to drink enough—I never drank much Water to start with) I am not experiencing any real issues.




Are the issues you've had things that can just spring up on you? Or have you been struggling since surgery? Anything we should look out for as we go? I hear gallbladders can be dicey.




Karen I hope you're feeling better soon and your CT scans are good!


Hi!

The first visit was because I had pain in my leg and they wanted to rule out a clot. I ended up being dehydrated and having low blood sugar.

The second time I had an allergic reaction to something I wasn’t allergic to presurgeey. Epipen and ambulance ride!

The third time was because they were ruling out gallbladder, ulcers, swallow issues. I’d been having severe stomach pains!

Hope this helps

Good job :)

I had surgery July 25th. I’ve had complications with medicine and painful cramps. I am still only able to eat per Dr.’s instructions 2tbsp of food (ricotta, potatoes, etc.). However, I’ve been drinking while eating! I feel like such an idiot. I’m going to talk to my doctor next week when I see him.

Have I done damage? Could I have stretched my pouch? I’m really freaking out!

Question for you all! I have no trouble drinking the Protein Shakes or any Water. I haven’t experienced the fullness feeling yet! I’m a bit concerned that something is wrong! Nervous to move on to week 2 Foods soon when I’m not feeling any fullness...

You’ll probably feel the restriction more once you get to softs. That’s the first time I felt mine too and trust me if you take one morsel more than you should it WILL let you know lol. The purées and liquids are able to slide on through.

Hi,

Stayed 4 nights in the hospital (minor complications with my bladder). I got home and saw I gained 2 pounds since starting my pre-op diet last week! I had the RNY. I know there are some people the surgery doesn’t work, and I’m freaking out a tad! If it matters I started at at 305 and am now close to 308! I’m following the diet to the letter! I had a hernia repair too, as well as the removal of my nissen.

Thanks!

Thanks all! Yes, I was on IV. Glad to hear that it’s not a bad sign! I haven’t wanted to drink Water bc I don’t want to gain weight (I am tho)!

I was bypassed on dec 3, 2018 and had two glasses of wine about 8 weeks post op. Definitely had a buzz (I was a weekend drinker prior) and I am having a few glasses in the weekend. I have a very social life and am dating and I make sure to work out, drink plenty of Water and stay on food plan. I’m not giving up my wine and I have tolerated it as well as everything else 100% just fine. Don’t even feel like I’ve had surgery.
