Had my one week post op checkup today. Doc said I look amazing, and had he not done the surgery he never would have known I had surgery much less banded RNY. I'm down 23lbs from my hospital high and can't wait to see this journey unfold.

Well done you x

I know you all have been there but I am so happy I could cry. Cry of happiness and relief that I no longer have to wait!! And since I don't have to do anymore weigh ins and I don't have to go tomorrow now I ATE DINNER!! LOL

Hello everyone!!! I need your advice. My surgery was on Oct. 10 and I have not had a bowel movement yet. I'm on clear liquid only diet right now until Monday. Is this normal to not have a bm for so long? Should I wait a little longer or should I go ahead and just call the doctor? I'm sorry if this is a little personal but I'm not sure if I should be worried yet or not.

Why you still on clear liquids so long? Just wondering. I hadn't surgery yet but my post op education plan has in it to walk, make sure you are getting 64oz oz liquids and try taking milk of magnesium. but it never hurts to check with physician.

It is completely normal. Try taking miralax it does take a couple days to work or you can use suppositories too

Still having pain in upper stomach Area. HAd blood work today and dr said there are signs of gall bladder issues so back to the surgeon in the morning for more tests. Anyone else have gal bladder issues ?

Most bypass patients require gall bladder removal too. Some get it during surgery some a few months after. My surgeon already said that he prefers to do it after

My doctor only has you do clear liquids one day before surgery but 2 weeks after surgery. He said doing the protein shakes and all the other stuff only makes everybody really nauseated and causes more stomach problems. I can have sf jello, sf Popsicles, broth, coffee, tea, juice and G2 Gatorade if I feel I'm getting dehydrated and if course water :-). Thank u for answering my post. Nobody ever seems to answer any of my questions.
