I was wondering if it's possible to know if a RNY was well performed using the images of the esophagram, I've been eating more than most people say they are doing at week 6 and this came to my mind. I'm uploading some images, I have the full study, if there is a doctor around who can help me with the interpretation would be great.

How much more can you eat at 6 weeks?

Also, there are so many variable that account for the different amounts people are eating. First and foremost is how the food is measured if at all. You have no idea if people are accurately measuring their food. Volume based measuring and scale based measuring rarely match. Then the moisture content of the food matters. You can I can have the exact same food in the same amount. If you reheat your food, you are going to extract more moisture from it so you will be able to eat less than I can because my food has more moisture content.

@@OutsideMatchInside my nutritionist program says 8 Oz Protein shake for Breakfast and dinner, 1cup of kinda regular food for lunch (low fat, low carbs), tuna salad, chichen Soup or something like that... and 2 Snacks in between 8 Oz of low fat yogurt and 1 cup of fruit.

I made a post asking about the portions and I got replays saying it was too much, now I'm afraid that my pouch might be bigger than it should.

How long does it take you? If you are eating these amounts in 20 minutes, that is a lot. If you are taking an hour or so that is different.

The one cup at lunch seems like a lot but the fluids seem right.

I cannot finish the Protein shakes and I really hate the taste, so I made some changes to compensate, I add Greek yogurt and powder milk, and I drink about 3/4 in the morning and the rest as snake before going to bed, lunch takes me 20 minutes if it's something like Soup and about 40 if it's dry food, I got worried because once I was having lentils soup and I realized it was more than a cup (maybe 1 1/2) , I didn't have any issue with it. On the beginning I was capable to just feel or know it was enough, never had the sneezing, hiccups or anything else, now I'm not sure if there is something that tells me to stop 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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
