It's thought us December peeps needed a post op thread! Anyone here?

I am 7 days post sleeve today & feeling great doing just liquids. Crossing my finger I continue this good!

Rny dec 11th and I do good with most food. It seems like pork goes right threw me, oatmeal sits to heavy on my pouch but all in all I feel good on the food part. I do have trouble drinking liquids, I believe its from taking to big of sips. I take a sip and it is followed up with a tightness in my chest. Is this a sign of to big a sip?

I found that when I started taking my vitamins is when I started with the dizzy feelings. I got to where I couldn't handle the chewable vitamins at all. I would get dizzy, weak, and I would break out with the cold sweats. At my last visit with my doc and my nut, I was telling them about this and they told me about the new bariactric capsule vitamins that just came out. You take one capsule three times a day. That has seemed to do the trick for me.

I felt like I havent been losing weight, I know its only been 3 days, so I bought an ekectronic scale earlier. I stepped on ariund 7pm and weighed 313.6lbs I went in weighing 322lbs... I stepped on again about 9:05pm.... im at 311.8! I should have known I was losing weight because my stomach binder is no longer tight and holding my stomach steady. Im so excited. Im barely reaching my protein and fluid goals though. 5 grams short of the protein and 4oz short of fl oz. I just cant take in any thing else today.

Glad there is a new December Post Op thread. I had RNY on the 18th and also had a large paraesophageal hernia repaired during the same surgery. Tomorrow I see my surgeon to have drain removed. After I see him he will clear me for stage 2 of the diet plan. Up until now I have been on Clear Liquids, broth, ice chips and SF Popsicles. I am doing well reaching my Water goals and I am ready to start the process of monitoring Proteins and liquids and all that fun stuff. Today being 5 day post surgery for some reason I am more achy and tired that any other day. I am a little lite headed too. Yesterday I had first BM and today I had one as well. I am eager to see what the surgeon says tomorrow. I have been following his directions to a t, I have no idea how much I lost though because i refuse to buy a scale yet. I want to be surprised at his office tomorrow.

Hi, everyone,

I'm a December post-op too! I had my surgery on December 9th, I'm doing good so far, I'm off my bp medicine. I'm having trouble getting enough Protein in. I really don't feel like eating. I'm kind of afraid to eat. I've had cottage cheese and yogurt that was ok. I tried scrambled egg and that caused me pain.

Oh my! I remember the first time I ate scrambled eggs.

I didn't even eat one whole egg. I was rolling around on my bed like I was dying. I will say that it does scare you to try new things but you just have to push through. I had the sleeve surgery first in September. So I've been through the advancing diet ordeal. I will say that I find the advancing diet has been a great deal easier with the gastric bypass. Trust me I still make mistakes and I have to pay for it. Sometimes it's as simple as being nauseated, but other times it's full out gagging and throwing up. I just go by the trial and error technique.

I am two weeks post-op and today was my first time trying an egg...it went down fine, no complains so far

I do feel super tired...I know i need to exercise but i just dont seem to have the energy. Does anyone else feels or felt the same way during this time after surgery? If so, any advise?

Thank you and good luck to all of you in your new journey!

I feel tired too! I haven't started exercising either. I'm 2 weeks every day I feel better. I think after Christmas I'll try riding my stationary bike.

Wow, you're already on food food? And I experience the same tightness when I sip liquids. I'm really trying to focus on sip size, and it's tough getting in the liquid!

Week One Post Op! Down 9lbs! Plus the weight I gained while in the hospital which was 11 or 12 lbs but I'm not including thay since I already lost it once! Lol

Wow I wished I could have soft food! I am on oureed food til jan 2 and it's very hard to find something I like! I am having problems sleeping anyone else? I find myself with about 3 to 4 pillows under my head!

Jus put anything in a blender and make it purée

It's bitter medicine, but I bite into two generic benadryl gel-caps at bedtime. I suck out the benadryl and spit out the gel-caps. That helps me nod off. I'm also on pureed foods now until the 15th. I called the bariatric nurse and she said it's still most important to get in the liquids each day. More important than getting the "meals", pureed or otherwise. I also try to get the protein shakes in too. I hope that's helpful to those who need it. I found out my nausea and cold sweats were my body's version of dumping syndrome. I'm still getting used to how much to sip at once. Anyway, I hope for a wonderful family filled Christmas to all! Merry Christmas!
