I'm starting to feel like the oddball when I talk to others that have had RNY. From the date of my surgery, 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.

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 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 feel like I'm a lucky one too!! I have followed every rule so far and it's hard. I'm only 6 days post op but feel great and pretty much have no pain. Just soreness, thank god.

Sweet! Thats is awesome you are an oddball!! I have to admit this is something I am scared of. But this choice is the best choice for me <3

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!
