I keep trying the shakes but they seem to sweet tasting. I hold my nose and drink the Protein Shots. Lol I did start my Fluid meds again and I have been going to the restroom every 20min. Got to weigh in the morning so I will keep everyone posted. Thanks so much for the support.

Wondering if anyone else has become sensitive to milk products since having the RNY? I've become quite sinus-y with it, I used to react this way with wheat, but haven't eaten wheat now for several years. I'm just very curious? I tend to use cheese, or evaporated milk etc. in each meal, so it's becoming a bit of a hassle.

wanted to check in with everyone, went back to work full time school full time, dealing with medical.issues, and trying to make this work is really hard, so not much time to log in multiple sites, but I'm so glad you guys are successful, losing weight and still helping each other I do mfp more though I have decided that I am cutting some people out because instead of asking why I do certain things or actually reading my journal correctly they rather "make up their own ideas" which is a shame we each have our own journey own fight man I struggle for every freaking pound my situation to begin with was diffrent and I think thats why people stop logging in, its easier to just stop logging in than to just say hey maybe thats not correct? I hope you all have a wonderful blessed day, whatever your journey is may you find the guidance your looking for, much peace and love , happy loosing

Have you tried Syntrax Nectar? I've tried the fuzzy navel and the Roadside Lemonade. I find the roadside lemonade a little sweet. I'll add 1 pkg of Crystal Light to it to make it taste better. Love the fuzzy navel though.

I also had the Protein issue and couldn't stand shakes. I tried the Syntrax Nectar the others are talking about in the fuzzy navel flavor. I mix it with 4oz Water, tastes like slightly watered down Sunny D to me. :)

Ok has anyone at all had chest pains? Mostly like shooting pains in your breast. I dont know if its a heart thing or i have strained something or what. But its right in my boobs mostly the left one. Through nipple to back. Been off and on for a week. Started when i was playing my Wii. I rest its there no problems when i sleep then when i wake up there again. Anyone have problems like this? Doesnt hurt to breathe. Or take deep breaths.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL
