Thank you for sharing wishing you a speedy recovery. I had both hiatal hernia repair and RNY bypass. 1st 7 days I was kinda of ok after day 9 I started having really bad cramps loose stools, pain all over, feeling lethargic, nothing seems to help I might just go into the ER tomorrow Oxy and Diazepam not doing much. 😤😤😤😤 so frustrating

Has anyone experienced bad diarrhea postop with cramping bloated and even some red bright blood in the mucosa of colon???? I am starting to get a bit worried that I might have a leak no sure. I know diarrhea is not a common side effect or a symptom for it.

Did you also do RNY or VSG???

I have finally started stage 3 omg 😱 how delicious 🤤 2 ounces of sous vide chicken thighs with 1 once garlic sautéed mash potatoes it nearly took an hour but how delicious 😋. anyone else is just started there 3 stage of soft food???

I take zoloft for antiexy. I've researched a bit on the internet and found that once you do a Gastric Bypass your psych meds will actually work differently. I wanted to know if anyone who has gone thru surgery had any experience with this. Thank you all in advance.

Thank you for sharing and best of wishes in your procedure

My wife had her RNY in 2019, I remember her pain was so intense that even clearing her throat would hurt her abdomen. Doing my research on how to minimize this type of discomfort beside taking your pain meds post surgery one can also have some relief by using a pillow or a brace to help you support the abdomen. Has anyone had experience with this and did it work for you? Any suggestion on a particular brand? And thank you in advance for all the replies this is a wonderful online community I am grateful for this forum it has really giving me hope and help me manage my questions and navigate thru my anxiety.

Than you

I can tell you I started with horrible cramps and pain in my abdomen, however is comes and goes. I see my surgeon tomorrow, hopefully we can work this out

Your welcome

Their is a brand call epic has high protein snack and quest.

Is it like head hungry or actual hunger???

@rattlesmomm hahaha I know that feeling of not wanting more shakes. I tried to mix it up a bit. I do all of my brights they are high protein, I do seafood broth, top sirloin for stews I add lentils, carrots, sweet potatoes, red cabbage, olives and brine broth. You can get about 10-15 grams of protein in a 8 ounce cup of broth and is very yummy. I believe you are entering your 3 phase soft and or purée foods. Ricotta Cheese, cottage cheese small curds. You can also sous vide your meats. Overall glad you are doing well. I started in my 2 phase but had a set back will taking gulps of liquids I get the worse cramps ever. So now I have really sip sip sip slowly but it will get better. Thank you for sharing

@rattlesmomm how are you feeling?

@Pricilla good to know you are doing great 👍 it will only get even better. Thank you for sharing your postop story with us. God bless and stay healthy and safe.

The reason I am creating this thread is solely for support. I know by 1st hand how intimidating this process can be. With the mere thought of should ldl do it? I can tell you that I was not a walk in the ballpark. But I am so happy I took this decision. Today I am 5 days RNY AND hiatal hernia repair post-op. I feel fatigued, yet happy. Sore, yet excited. I can use many more adjectives. Please share and ask.

@ShoppGirl I found Overeaters Anonymous helps me a lot with the same issues you mentioned above.

@Fross this is why I love this forum as I was ready to post the topic boom 🤯 I ran into this thread. 1st of all I am happy your wife is doing better, and omg 😱 I started having this symptoms today sipping and crippling cramping. I did vomit but it was because I felt pressure in my abdomen area and that really helped. Likewise I spoke to my dr and he stated to be on clear liquids and sip slowly. This give me hope thank you for sharing

@cheryl o thank u 🙏. Today out of all the days I started getting really bad cramps every time I sip on liquids greater than 30 ml = 1 once feel me stomach bloated. Pain meds help a bit I consulted my dr he said to go back and tried 15 ml every 15 minutes but it still hurts like 😱

@lizonaplane congratulations on ur weight loss, extended release medication would be a problem for people like me that did the bypass because of the anatomical changes down. You should not have any issues. I would still suggest to speak with your surgeon.

@Shagami at 1st read Thought your nick was Shinigami. Wow 😮 that was a long time ago and indeed your information does help and thank you for sharing. Can you share more about your life changes and how have you benefited long term from your RnY surgery.

@MrsJapak Thank you for your reply, try to ask your surgeon before going into surgery my suggestion. Best of luck and keep us posted on how it goes.

@ShoppGirl thank you for sharing
