I am a month out and on soft foods any suggestions? I am going to to a movie after so I won't be taking leftovers. Would flat bread be ok? I'm thinking that will easy to share.

I agree with all the above but if I am sharing off my husband I do tip extra:)

How far post op are you? I am 2 weeks and going through the same thing.my doc Had me cut out Dairy to rule out Lactose intolerance. It's only been a day since I've done that. He also said to take a probiotic.

I am 2 weeks post op and feel up to going to the gym. The doc also cleared it. How much Should I start with? I've been walking 30 min a day. Quite frankly I feel like I can take on the world what did everyone else start with? Can I do a class?

Yea no weights for 6 weeks just cardio.

What is odd is that I only get cold at night. I live in fl so it's not like night time is -6 degrees. At 739 every night I start freezing!

Was it all healthy eating or working out too?

I am ten days post op. I can't seem to do more than 2 1/2 hours of straight activity without going down for a long nap. This then throws off my bedtime. When will I have more energy?

I think I get a prescription on Thursday. I have to choose between daily spray or bill or a monthly shot. I wonder what is better.

My worst pain was dry heaving after surgery. Now it's just the one incision where he pulled my stomach out.

I am 3 days post op and managed to get in 90 grams I Protein today. I started at 5am and got in half a premade shake which I finished at lunch. In between I had 8oz of milk. I then had some unjury chicken broth. For dinner I had a Protein Shake made with milk that pushed me up to 90. Is this not normal? I don't want to screw up my surgery. Was anyone else able to hit this 3 days out?

I am at 90 for protein and 10oz away from 65 ounces of water. I was worried bc I do t really feel full exactly. I'm happy to hear others have hit the goals though.

Hi all, I do not have my surgery date yet but I believe it will be. The third week of September. I have two kids age 5 and 2.5. I'm not really worried about my 5 year old but my 2.5 year old needs being picked up constantly. Any suggestions for how to handle it? I have my mom in town for two weeks but after that I may have to hire sitters to help out when picking up the girls from school.

I'm curious how you daily menu changed over a year.

I start my preop diet I a few days. I have started drinking shakes to get used to it. I loved making smoothies. Some fruit, a few scoops of Protein powder and it was great. For preop though, I need to drink that powder or pre made stuff. I find it nauseatingly sweet... Which is weird since there are only 5 grams of sugar. They aren't horrible but I just shudder at the though of their chemical sweetness. Any advice on how to make then taste better? I also get three servings of milk or yogurt a day. Not sure if mixing them would make it better.

Any favorites? I did the metabolic cookies and cream shake and it was ok. It is kinda fake sweet tasting though.

Ok I am so tired of telling people about the surgery and having them respond with " why - you don't need that" or "isn't that drastic ?" Or my new fav " I am going to change your mind" I've responded with all the fact, that I am eligible blah blah blah and they keep proceeding with comments. Luckily I have good support but its getting to he point where I don't even want to talk about it. I guess I need to stop telling people that I am doing it.

I'm with you:( I just posted my own rant.

I am scheduled for 1 week liquid protein 4 times a day, 1 cup of veggies and 2 servings of milk or yogurt.

I am October 11

So I was asked to be a labor coach with a due date in late October. Would I be ok to do this 2 weeks after surgery? I said I would be unable to if it fell in the 2 weeks after. Anyone have experience with this (nurses etc)

I know that babies have their own schedule I guess I am thinking worse case scenario it happens around the two week window.

I am now in the freak out stage. I've started to pay attention to my body ad hunger as I await surgery. I find that part of my issue is I will eat when not hungry. I'm not full... I just don't need to eat at that moment. So why would this change after surgery? Is that where to tool part kicks in? Maybe I researched rny so much that now I'm afraid the sleeve won't have any affect On my eating habits. I'm hoping that these thoughts are extremely silly.

Thanks guys. I feel better already.
