Hi, It took 3 months for my ulcer to heal and I drank a lot of protein shakes and then started adding 1 semi sold meal per day and ramped up form there depending on how I tolerated. I switched to fair life milk and that met much of my protein needs 1/2 c skim and 1/2c chocolate made me feel like I wasn't being deprived. I also found isolate splash which has 24g of protein per scoop and is basically protein water and it save me from dehydration, website is revolution nutrition. They flavors are quite sweet so I water down a bit but it's all about your taste. I also ate protein pudding and lots of yogurt which won't be good for you but try the pudding. Also laughing cow cheese is soft and easy to digest. Hope this helps a bit, hang in there it will get better(:

I had RNY and at 3 mos post-op I could not keep anything down and had stomach and chest pain. After 2 trips to the ER my surgeon did a scope and I had developed an ulcer at the staple site of my new stomach. Apparently this can happen at anytime during the healing process. I am on meds 4 times a day and it takes about 3 mos to heal. You should contact your surgeon asap.

My period got lighter after surgery and comes a few days earlier each month now. Surgery changes all the hormone levels in your body as well as the absorption of medications. Your birth control dosage may need to be adjusted because of these factors.

At exactly 3 mos after RNY surgery, I could not eat and had severe chest and abdominal pain. I am also a rare case that Gerd got worse also due to an ulcer that developed at the staple site. I was barely eating as it was and then this put me back on liquid diet, it was like starting all over again. So frustrating!! I was put on meds 4x a day for the ulcers and was told it would take about 3 mos to heal but I am slowly able to eat small amounts of solid food again.
