I had my surgery (RNY) on Wed May 20 and came home on Friday. Doing well at home, trying to wean off pain meds, because I'm "too energetic" after taking them (overdoing the laundry and stairs!) Sipping on shakes and Water all day. So far things are going well.

I know a lot of us had late May surgery dates. How are you doing?

Glad to hear you are doing well. My surgery is on Thursday.

I had surgery on May 19th. Doing ok. Light housework, struggling on getting my liquids in though. Stomach sometimes out of the blue feels likes it's turning or something, not painful but uncomfortable .

I had my surgery in April and struggling with protein shakes. Since the surgery the taste of them is turning my stomach. Any ideas?

Had my RNY on May 19th. I'm doing really well. I can get all my water, vitamins, and protein drinks in with no trouble. The only issues I'm having are with my head. I miss food. I can't wait for the two weeks to be over so I can have some soft foods. ????

Maureen - The RN in my clinic just made a lot of suggestions for added protein as I progress to puréed foods. (Yay!) 1) Greek yogurt and protein drink added to a fruit smoothie 2) Applesauce with cottage cheese (I had it tonight, heavenly!) 3) Mashed potatoes with chicken breast (puréed for now).

Thank you so much for the suggestions. I will try them

May 19th, a lot of fatigue and side pain from the largest incision. Had two episodes of dumping from dairy but otherwise slow and steady!

9 days post-op. Do you think I could have some strained spagetti sauce, no chunks. I'm in full liquid stage.
