I'm almost 4 months post-op RNY and I can eat popcorn without any issues.

I am not sure how far out you are, but I personally wouldn't recommend IF. If you can only eat a limited amount of food as is right now, you won't be able to get the nutrients you need in one meal.

I have been incredibly lucky with this. I can pretty much chug water without any issues (2, almost 3 months out). I try to make sure I am consistently drinking throughout the day and more often than not, I meet my goal.

I had RNY on June 8th and I feel amazing. I healed fine without any complications. I am currently down 44lbs (74lbs total) since surgery. I probably would have lost more if I had made a few better decisions, but I am incredibly happy with my decision and am happy that it's working out for me.

I didn't have any requirements like that when going for my surgery, but it was really hard for me to get comfortable using my CPAP machine. What worked for me was trying on several different masks until one felt "natural". The problem for most of us, I think, is that we are reacting to feeling suffocated and while half-awake, we just yank the damn thing off.

There is no calorie goal at this point. You are literally just trying to get in that protein before anything else.

I honestly feel amazing. I am down 11kg (25lbs) since surgery on June 9th. I had a bit of a stall on week 4, but I am killing it this week. I work out every day via rhythm games like StepMania and Beat Saber for AT LEAST an hour, but I try to go for 2+ hours. I get about 80-85g of protein in a day, while also drinking 1.5L of water, and keeping my carbs below 30g (primarily from veggies/fruits). I hope everyone else is doing well too. I haven't been super active here, but I am almost always sitting on Instagram!! LOL If anyone wants to follow me, you can! @Stephiverse -- I am sharing my progress, journey, and a whole lot of complaints there. There is a great community available. I will try to be on the forums a bit more tho!

Hi everyone! I made some weight loss trackers and thought I would share them for free. They are in my highlights on Instagram. Just screenshot, crop, and fill them in! I just ask that you credit me if you repost them. Thanks! https://www.instagram.com/stephiverse/ Here is the one I'm using:

Well, we went on our first 'date' since surgery.. and it had nothing to do with food! We went to a zoo together! Lol It was actually a great time. It was a little bit driving around in some areas, and a whole lot of walking in other areas. I felt great that I could walk around as much as I did that day while enjoying nature!

@LoseWeight2020 Ugh! That sounds horrible! I am sorry you went through that.

Oh, man! I am supposed to be on liquids for the first two weeks, but their "liquids" include thicker stuff like drinking yogurt and blended soup. Wonder if I would be okay to have something heavier now, like mashed potatoes. Ugh! Just want a taste of something that isn't those two things right now. >.<

Oh, did you only have a liquid stage for the first week after surgery??

"5 more days.." is the phrase I've been telling myself on repeat for a few hours now.. I swear my whole neighborhood is making BBQ today! It smells so good. I am ready for some real food!! 😩

Girl, SAME.

On a good note - I am one week post op! One more week of liquids and I will be onto soft foods. I am getting real tired of blended soup and drinking yogurt!
