7 Days Out...and I'm surprised...



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I've been stalking these forums for awhile but I really need some insight on my situation.

I had RNY gastric bypass 1 week ago and everything is not as I expected...

I had/have very little pain, surgeon said everything went perfect.

I can drink almost normally, literally chug Water almost with just the slightest pressure...

Everything I've eaten has gone down perfectly...not even a hint of trouble...

I have very little gas and I pooped easily/normally like on day 4.

And I feel like my hunger is still present but I do get full faster, but I thought I'd barely be able to take 3 bites and that isn't the case at all.

Soooooo I'm concerned. Shouldn't I be feeling more different?? I am losing weight which is good but I guess I thought Id wake up to a much more drastic healing process? I'm worried the surgeon didn't make the pouch small enough?? I read so many horror stories in preparation for this and now I'm just confused...

Any one with a similar experience??

Highest Recorded Weight: 373

Day-of Weight(2/22/18): 349

Current Weight: 338

Goal Weight: 160

I know only from reading on here, no personal knowledge yet. Most responder say liquids are easy, slip,right on through but when you get to purees and softs you'll truly feel the restriction and tightness of your newly redesigned innards. Keep on slow and steady with the liquids and the pureed etc will come. When that happens,let us know how you're getting along. You'll be a veteran to all the newbies and pre surgs. Cool --isn't it?

I'm almost 2 months out and not alot of restriction either. The only time I know when I've eaten too much is after I've eaten too much and the pains come. So you learn how much you can eat and then stop prior to becoming too full. I honestly felt the same way you feel, i thought after surgery I wouldn't be able to eat and initially for about a week I couldn't however seems like I can eat more and more as time goes on.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
