wow!!! congrats!!!

no worries, your stomach will DEFINITELY punish you, if you attempt to over eat,lol

the mashed potatoes sat well with you? Im afraid to try it, had RNY on the 1st.

i had chicken noodle soup but ate to fast and under my ribcage i had sever pain and puked it out. Now im scared.

[emoji23][emoji23] isnt it funny how before we didnt appreciate the taste, and now its amazing?

aww...i feel for you. But im suprised about the Vitamins, my drs office told me to start 2 weeks after surgery. Yesterday was my 14th day and youre right, the Vitamins look huge prior to surgery. It gets better as time goes, pls rest.

i love it! where can i get one! [emoji23]

aww....that is a question i was going to ask my surgeon next week. I had my RNY the 1st. And Thanksgiving is my jam. Oh well, we have to follow orders, we did alot of work to get here.

Please try Fairlife Core Power shakes. I love the strawberry/banana flavor. Tastes just like a milkshake. I am 8 days post op RNY and bought one battle to try and it was so good, i drank it in an hour. Yesterday i tried vanilla flavor, it was pretty good. I placed a order of 7 bottles for Walmart pick up today, for strawberry/banana. Let me know if you tried it.

I saw my PCP on the 5th, she said the dry mouth means youre dehydrated and thats dangerous. She said, to take constant sips of water, to get rid of it. Im on top of that, so i feel less dry mouth. Pls becareful because if you dont hydrate youll have to go to the ER for fluids. Im tired of needles. Did you have to get an IV placed on each arm?

me too! had my RNY on the 1st with hiatal hernia repair. Im sore on the larger incision, and yes like you im watching the clock to drink water and protein drinks. Walking does tire me out physically and my abdomen pain worsens. Like yesterday i went to 4 stores with my mom and son, and had to find a chair to sit at every store visit. Im guessing i need this walk, but wow, its tiring! Good luck and pls update

I had my RYN on Nov 1st. I cheated on my liquid diet everyday. I had soda crackers, burger patty, etc. But no other drink besides water and ate once a day, and made it, and lost 10lbs in the one week liquid diet. My surgeon said my surgery was great no issues. And now that i depend on protein drinks, its a new thing and like it. Yes, your hungry flies out the window, so have to keep on top of your liquids. Yesterday i had "fairlife straberry and bannas" shake, and i fell so deep in love. It tastes just like a milkshake and drank the whole thing under an hour. And tolerated well. You will know when you are "full" because when you feel like something is stuck in your throat, then you stop and wait for it to pass. Since my surgery date today, lost 7lbs. Good luck!

Oh man, thats horrible. Yes i had another chest xray at dawn as a followup. And got an inhaler also

yes, i wasnt aware it was robotic till i was settled in and nurse told me. I was impressed. Im ok with it since pain is minimum

Had my RYN yesterday, and found out it was done by a robot! Thats so incredible. My pain is tolerable, im on ice chips cause my throat and mouth dries. But i did have shortness of breath, had a chest x ray and have fluid that developed while being down with anesthia. Dr ordered albuterol treatment and received my treatment around 2am and feel better. I have my leak test later today, toradol is amazing and peeing alot. I havent passed gas, get winded walking in my room. I hope i can go home today. I hope this helps you guys, as insight with your upcoming procedure.

my surgey is today! Have to be at hospital in 3hrs. Im so excited, dont worry youll be so excited cause you know itll change your life for the best! Hang in there.

me too!! Water all day today!!!

im curious about the weight gain on the RYN, how is that possible with having no stomach? What is it that stretches? I thought with RYN weight gain was tougher? Im having my RYN tomorrow.

*Tuesday* started tuesday

my preop last day is tomorrow, and ill be honest with you, i cheated. I started tursday, ive been having chicken, ground beef, and burger patty. Also had soda crackers. each day i had one item, an item with no carbs, and only water, plus everything else required. And guess what i still lost weight. im down 7 lbs today. And yes it gets better, today im not hungry at all, but did have chicken and romaine lettuce.

how did your surgery go?

oh my gosh, have you contacted your doctor? pls keep us updated

im going on monday! i REALLY want to get it over with. please post how you feel once youre up

are you still at the hospital? What has the dr or nurse said?

wow really!!! this is my liquid diet week, and yesterday i had regular meals. And told myself today is a new day and have 6 days to go. But i cant be tempted to mess up. lol
