I’m 11 weeks out from RNY and had a weekend trip away with the grand babies. Hotel had a swimming pool and I discovered I no longer float. I kept sinking and it took so much more work to not drown.

I could also use some soft food recipes. What did you love at this stage?

Starting soft food diet today. I was approved 1 cup of coffee if tolerated. It was enjoyable while I drank it, but definitely NOT tolerated! Burning in my stomach and intestines. Any suggestions for coffee substitute other than tea? Has anyone tried those mushroom coffees?

Thank you, and I’m sorry you have to go through that.

My husband, daughter, and son all have had the flu the last few days. Horrible vomiting and diarrhea. I am so afraid of throwing up. I’m almost 3 weeks post op from RNY. If the worst happens and I do throw up will it tear open my stitches?

Surgery tomorrow! RNY. About a week ago I was having some anxiety about the surgery. Why am I doing this questions. I spoke with my sister I-L who had the surgery a couple years ago. I prayed about it, which I realized I really hadn’t done. I am prepared with my “foods” and vitamins and medications. I noticed a few days ago, no more anxiety. I am at peace going into this. It is overcast and snowy here but I am choosing to find rays of sunshine.

Surgery scheduled for 1/23. I am on day 5 and I am struggling with the two week diet. 5 shakes a day is too much. I feel so bloated and am having acid reflux. I’m trying to schedule the shakes so I’m not having one too late ( at least two hours before I go to bed) but it is difficult. I’m feeling like I need to get up at o-dark-thirty to get a shake in so I can go to bed at a decent hour without the acid reflux. Help!

I started mine yesterday. Thank you for mentioning the headaches. I couldn’t figure out where they were coming from.

Just found this app. I’m so happy to have people to share this experience with and your comments are helping my nerves. I’m scheduled for Jan 23.
