Recommended Posts

S/p RNY 2/7/18 and i am not feeling so great lately. I started soft foods. I think it is increased gas but idk it is discomfort when eating. Almost feel like going back to puréed foods or liquids. I am ok some day but today was a tough day. Almost feel nauseas and with a belly ache and I have not over ate nor drank enough liquids. I did overwork myself yesterday. I push myself to exceed 5000 steps a day and go up and down my stairs at least 4 times within the day. I feel like I am exhausted but physically however today is different I feel exhausted and sick. Anyone having similar symptoms?

Instead of cake you could do a sugar free pudding cake with layers or frozen yogurt ice cream that you make out of yogurt yum! Maybe a taco party idk if you like tacos but you know Beans cheese soft puréed meats yum!!! You won’t be able to eat much, but you know tacos means party lol. I am sure anything you do will be great... it’s your birthday Celebrate your success!!!

How is everyone doing so far?

I'm almost 4 weeks out and so far so good. Still struggling to meet my Protein goals but man it was nice to finally eat some solid food after 3 weeks of liquid/puree.

So, not that I have the answers, but this is what I was doing. Maybe it will help?

1Brekky - decaff coffee and 9-10oz Premier Protein as Creamer (23g P)

2nd Brekky - 1 egg softboiled (6g P)

MS - Egg salad (6g P)

L - Egg Salad (6g P)

AS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/Applesauce (15g P)

D - 1.5oz dense protein of some kind (9g P)

BS - Yogurt/Cottage Cheese/WF Blueberry Syrup (10g P)

75g P for the day! Voila!!! It's a lot of meals, but in the beginning we're only supposed to eat 1/4c of food max. As our volume increases, meals decrease. And you're only taking in 23g of P from Protein Drinks even only 2-3 weeks out?

Hope that helps. Just word: MAKE SURE your poop chute is cleaned out from all the stuck-in crap from surgery or you will have constipation/blockages like nobody's beeswax!!!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
