8 weeks out and I’m starting to force myself to eat I do get hungry but i don’t want to eat ? and I don’t want anything else with protein it. No protein shake no protein snacks They’re all becoming disgusting and hard to eat ? Food…i take 2-3 bites and I’m tired of it. Put it in fridge to never be seen again

Yes most definitely a learning experience i should’ve taken it way more easy

Has any women had crazy cravings while menstruating?? I’m 5 weeks out RNY I was 4 days late & cramps are way worse than they were pre-surgery. Heavier flow also. My cravings are going crazy & restriction has not really been kicking in which is strange af.

Thank you so much for allowing yourself to be vulnerable and candid with your story ?. I really do appreciate you for giving insight on how these choices can progress as we learn this new lifestyle

Thank you! Definitely a learning lesson for at least the rest of the summer

Yea the team & I do have a talk on Monday. This was a major learning lesson for me The EMT said exactly that i wasn’t getting in enough calories and the liquid IV was dehydrating me faster because of it. So they gave me some fruit snacks to get back on my feet & my friend took me for real food

I was not consuming alcohol at this event nor have i had alcohol since before my 2 week pre op diet I mentioned I've consumed alcohol at this event in the past before i thought about having surgery just to give some context on how much things have changed for me now that I’ve had RNY I’ll make it a little more clear in my OP ?

So today I’m 4 weeks post op RNY by the date. I passed out today (Saturday) at an outside, pretty physical, 3 mile walk/dancing event. I’ve frequented this event plenty of times in the past before surgery & while drinking liquor in 82+ degree weather (1-2 years BEFORE surgery) This is the first time in life I’ve ever passed out. It was kind of scary when my friend told me I was out for about 3 minutes…. The morning of I had 2 protein shakes and hit 80g before heading out. I had plenty LiquidIV supplements to make sure I stayed hydrated but it seems like that contributed to my downfall according to the EMT. I have not and did not consume alcohol while only 4 weeks post op. But mainly I had no solid food since Friday thinking that i could hit the protein & just stay hydrated but hell no… With the physical activity & no carbs to replenish the energy my body was way deprived so…eat your carbs

Exactly what i did too..just extended the liquid stage

Puréed foods have traumatized me ? When my doctor advanced me my first meal was mashed potatoes and they were fantastic! I went on to try some salmon but in the blender and it was the worst decision of my life. The texture was that of a milkshake and it was ABSOLUTELY disgusting. I never want to experience blended food (besides a green smoothie) ever again in life. Also, tried the ricotta bake but it was only good for a week before I was over it. So I'm technically still in puréed stage but I'm doing a mushy soft foods instead because I cant with blending food.... I guess I've advanced myself to soft solids (the #1 thing you're not suppose to do ?) but I've been feeling good and I chew it up really well. Rotisserie chicken mashed potatoes mashed curry chickpeas mashed green beans I do know when when I'm eating too fast though: I feel the pain when the food stacks right in my chest and its passing thru my small opening little by little it's hard to breathe What I think is the "foamies" When this happens I just get up and walk around a bit until it has all trickled down into the pouch Thanks for attending my Ted Talk!

Thank you! I've been searching for something small but powerful

Thank you!

Officially 7 days post gastric bypass ? I'm feeling very well aside from incision tenderness. What concerns me though is that I can drink a 16oz Gatorade in under an 1hr with no issues. Is that normal? or safe??

I've experienced that with my past favorite bottled protein shake. It was just too thick and I had to dilute it

This post OP liquids stage is kicking my ass. I'm hitting my 64oz fluid & 60g protein goals & able to handle my daily vitamins, going walking but the taste quality of the fluids is moving downhill QUICK 5/24 I'll be 1 week post op and hopefully will be approved for pureed on Friday I already had applesauce by mistake but it didn't mess me up because I stopped when it hurt at first sip
