My RNY was done5/17/18. So far recovery has been what expected, except for diarrhea I developed abou 2-3 days ago. Very unpredictable w/ stomach pain just prior. I wasn’t expecting that while still on the liquid diet. I thought it had stopped this am, and was due to try puréed foods today. 1 oz of puréed cottage cheese went well tonight for dinner, now an hour or so later diarrhea has returned. I’m almost afraid to try anything, liquid or puréed! Suggestions?

Pretty sure most are still on pureed foods at the 2 week mark. I was eating all sorts of foods... if it would puree, I would try it. Soups, chill, etc.

Have you noticed if the problems occur with a non-dairy item like apple sauce? I'm wondering if it's a milk thing...

I only had two weeks of liquid. Now I have 4 weeks of 2 liquid meals and one 3 oz. soft Protein. I have tried grilled chicken breast & rotisserie chicken, but even though the meat was super moist and I chewed it into paste it still felt like rocks going down. eggs are not agreeing with me, but fish like cod and tilapia are going down okay. I can get about 2 oz down. Mostly though I stick to Greek yogurt. It is the easiest on my digestive system.

My surgeon advanced my diet to soft mushies on day 10 post op. He also told me that after one month I have no restrictions which was surprising to me. I had a revision from sleeve to bypass on 5/22/2018 and I pretty much feel back to normal. I have to remind myself that my stomach is still healing and I can't eat certain things. The good thing is that I do not feel hungry at all. When I was sleeved I often felt hungry, plus I always had small Snacks due to the severe reflux. I found that when I had something small in my stomach the reflux was not as severe. Well I have been reflux and pain free since surgery and as I mentioned, I am not hungry.

Hey, I feel the same! Gsv conversion to bypass 5/17/18. I feel great, like you have to remind myself to sip and chewy thoroughly. I still am not trying chicken, red meat etc. I also am reflux free which was my biggest issue prior along with the snacking which I also dont do as much now. Still some bowel issues, but minor.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
