Ok I am almost 3 weeks post op, I had my RNY by pass on 6/13 and I am having a terrible time finding things that dont make me nauseous. Does anyone have any ideas? What does everyone eat at this stage. I had no problem on liquids, infact i could down the jello, puddings, and liquids no problem but it seems that as soon as there is some kind of consistance i get nauseous. Please let me know what you were eating at this stage considering I have 6 more weeks of this!! All help will be appreciated!!!

Do you mind me asking how much you have dropped?

I am origanily from state college pa but now reside in culpeper va anyone else in va? What part of pa where you from?? My RNY surgery was on 6/13 with dr Nain in Woodbridge VA

Hello everyone, my name is Jennifer I am a 34 year old mother of 3. I had my surgery on 6/13 and was out of the hospital on 6/15. My starting weight was 304 this was before starting the optifast, has anyone else experienced optifast 2 wks before their surgery? I have my 2wk follow up on 6/28 and cant wait to get graduated to mushies! I am sick of liquids and I often find myself hungry alot. Is this normal? I thought I was not suppose to experience hunger. I am having a lot of pain on my left side and at times it is unbearable, is anyone else experiencing this? Please let me know that I am not the only one with these issues.

Oh yes I hear this all the time considering I am 5'10, most people never believed me when i said i weighed 304, they said i carried it well, what the hell does that mean????? I am doing this not only for the weight but to get off the 12 medications that i am on, I am only 34 years old and I WAS on 2 different blood pressure medications to keep my blood pressure down. The key word is WAS I am off my bp meds and am only taking 3 prescribed meds to date, they rest are vitamins! That my friend is a reason to have the surgery!!!

WOW so close mine was 6/13!

I am so sorry! I know what it is like to lose a friend on those terms and it is very hard. Dont lose sight of your goal and stay away from the snacks! I know that is hard coming from an emotional eater myself!! It is not worth eating the snacks, it will only set you back and hurt yourself more. YOU CAN DO THIS!!!

OMG I wonder why it hit you now, considering you have had it before? I am so glad you are better now, I am sure that hour felt like an eternity! I am not looking forward to ever going through that! How long ago was your surgery?

i have tried cottage cheese and it makes me sick, i will try the chicken breast lunch meat, do you get like the boars head reduced sodium and fat? I wasnt aware we could have that? I am so lost as to what we can eat. I can usually get a banana down in my protein shake but i just tried to drink one and it was a no go. Thank you for your help bellepink

I have started the mushie food but now it makes me nauseous, any ideas on what i can eat at this stage? what did you eat once you started mushies? I was better off on liquids!!

Picked some up today and I have to say the cheese flavor is amazing!!!

You ladies are amazing! Thank you so much for all your help! I am definitely going to try the puffs! Ocean, let me know what the dr says, my fingers are crossed for you! I am so glad I am not the only one experiencing this! I am so glad I found this group!

Good luck tomorrow! I had my surgery 6/13 I was given broth, popcicles, jello, and crystal lite. When I came home I was able to have low fat yogurt sugar free pudding, and low fat creamed soups, and protein shakes. Keep us updated and good luck!
