Ok' date=' so for those of you who have pouches of Iron. Did you go ahead and stick to the full fluids & pureed?

I'm not sure if I have a pouch if Iron but I have not have any issues getting sick etc. chicken salad got stuck once because I ate too fast.

I did 2 weeks of full liquid, 1 week of purée, then slowly introduced soft protein- egg, chicken, fish etc. I avoid carbs.

I'm starting to feel like the oddball when I talk to others that have had RNY. From the date of my surgery' date=' 6/25/2012, I have had only one problem and that was dehydration for one day. I have had no nausea/vomiting. No pain other than gas for about 3-5 days. I will be 6wks as of Monday and I can eat just about anything I try with no problem. I'm not brave enough to try anything fried, though. Tonight, I had a about 1/4 of a chicken fajita with no tortilla. My incision that is on the left side.....some people say theirs is kinda ugly. Mine is barely and inch long. However, I did discover at 3wks out that I antibiotics in the pill form aren't my friend. Otherwise, haven't had much of a problem with food. At first I was able to eat more than I can now, but it is slowing down now.

I think I'm a little nervous about my pouch working TOO well. My supervisor told me I'm just blessed.[/quote']

I am the exact same way. Have had no problems, basically never dumped and can eat just about anything I want (I won't try bread/sugar though) and I'm afraid that my pouch isn't all that different from my old stomach. Hell I can knock back 5 shots of rum and won't be that drunk. Idk what's wrong with it

I did liquids for a week, then added soft foods for a week. I was SUPPOSED to do pureed for 3-6 wks. I put some foods in the blender and chopped them up real fine. I chewed EVERYTHING real good. Most foods, I was just able to eat normally. Pretty much, I began introducing foods a little early. No problems, though. I was cleared today at my 6wk appt.

I worry about the same thing. I had complications in the hospital but after that I haven't had any issues. Never took pain meds. I can drink fine (I'm just not thirsty). No trouble with any foods except eggs (and that was a problem prior to surgery). The only time I've been sick is bc I ate too fast. I can eat 2-4 ounces depending on what I'm eating. I thought something was wrong with me!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
