There is no standard of care - some people get a diet - some don’t - some get a litany of pre-tests - some don’t - it’s so different from practice to practice -

you have to be careful with that that's why they tell you to eat first and then wait 30 minutes then drink if you do both if it didn't cause you to have a dump.

That's one of the things they strongly warn against. Drinking with food causes the food to wash through your pouch faster, making you hungry more often, which then causes you to eat more and gain. Most advise not to drink about 30 minutes before through 30 minutes after.

The gold standard RNY bypass guidelines have always been do not drink any liquids when eating your food, defeating the purposes of getting full from eating your Protein first then veggie and fruit. You need the Protein for fuel more when mealtime. You should be getting full on solid food alone and drink 60 minutes after you are done eating.

Did anyone have to take at least one class before there surgery?!?!?? Jeez I know there are a bunch of "mills" out there that just do bypass and dump the patient after a year.... If you have a good surgeon and good Bariatric office you are a lifer... If you go on the Internet and read the gold standard RNY bypass you will read about drinking with meals, dumping syndrome etc...

Why would anyone opt for this surgery if they are going to cheat or go against the guidelines that were specifically made for this procedure.... I have read tons of complications for this procedure in my everyday job caused by careless patients and some caused by surgery. Sorry I'm off my soap box now....

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
