It's just a stall. It happens. Keep up your healthy regimen it will start to fall off again. Also probably Water weight.

Awwww sending prayers your way Veejay

What is everyone thinking about for their first puréed foods? I’m a picky eater and honestly hate mushy textures so I’m trying to get ideas for puréed foods I can handle… only 4 more days!

Thank you! I'm wrapping up day one now. It hasn't been that bad (so far) I've had two Premier Protein shakes (I found a limited edition Root Beer Float flavor that's really good at Sam's Club) about 60 ounces of broth, and a couple Jello cups.
I think I'll do okay, but I'm thankful that my surgeon is only making me do one week instead of two or three, lol.

Yay! You did it! Keep going !

How are u today sweet lady? Been thinking about you.🙏

Hey everyone I made it home today in 1 piece, feeling nauseated at the moment. Right now I'm working on stage 2 right out the hospital.

You made me smile so big thank you for that

I ended having my surgery on the 6th. Hope everything went well with yours today and you are feeling great!

I just started my liquid diet. Does anyone have any pointer. Today was really tough. My surgery date is 6-26

Had my surgery at OSU hospital in Columbus yesterday and am home today. It was painful when I first came out but by the second day it was better. THe biggset thing i can tell you is to get up as soon as you can and walk down the halls. It will help overall. I found laying for a long period seem to make it worse. Good luck to those who still have it coming!

I know that all to well, you are beautiful, you are worthy, you are and deserve happiness ❤️

I’m in ALOT of pain in my right area in one of the incisions I can’t feel anything anywhere else except that one spot and when I say it kills it kills! Getting meds here is like pulling teeth im overall in very bad pain and wondering if I’ll be ok, honestly im scared

I had a rny and I felt great after I slept the first day. I felt groggy day 1. The only side effect I had was a slight sore throat from the anesthesia tube. I think it really depends on the person too. Feel better soon, alert your doctor.

I agree. I think it depends on the person. I had some pain during the first few weeks, but nothing unbearable. The biggest one for me was standing still. If I was walking, I was fine. Transitions from down to up or vise versa were not too bad, but there was some discomfort. The worst was in the hospital until all the gas was expelled. And during the liquid stage , I felt tired and weak; which is fairly normal. Honestly, the whole experience hasn't been bad. My RNY was May 1st. Just keep doing what your team has advised, and if the pain doesn't go away, let them know.

I think it depends more on the person - how quickly you tend to recover, etc. I had a bypass, and honestly I felt like I never even had surgery! (well, other than when I transitioned - from lying down to sitting up, or standing to sitting, or whatever - I could feel it in my abs - but then, I've heard sleevers say the same thing)

You had your surgery on the 7th? So not quite a week ago which is very early days. This is major surgery, so it can take a while for the pain to ease and we all heal at our own rate. I felt like I'd been hit by a bus for a good two weeks. Can't say if it would have been the same if I'd had a sleeve, but the Mini Gastric Bypass/ Omega Loop is a shorter operation than the RNY but still took me a while to recover.

According to my doctor and nutritionist NO, not enough Protein to offset the fat and carbs

No lie y'all I'm over all this sh*🤬 today. I want to burst into tears and cry on the floor.

We all deserve it.... we're warriors

You got this Maggie. Can't wait to hear from you when you get enough strength.

I had a question ❓. I've noticed that people that have the sleeve are up and at um fairly quickly. Yet I had the bypass and I'm walking like the hunchback of Notre Dame. Anyone else have the bypass and still not fully functioning?

Share what you’re doing for puréed foods. I’m right with you.

I was June 7 too! My Dr said I could have one Protein Shake a day, Jello, and popsicle as well as Water, broth, and crystal light. However, I drink one ounce of liquid every fifteen minutes. I had to dilute the shake with water because it was a little uncomfortable full strength.

Thank You Veejay! I miss the same things you mentioned. I feel like I’m starving. My stomach gurgles so it feels like hunger pains. I’m fortunate that I’ve had very few issues. I don’t feel like anything was even done even with the hernia repair.
