April 2014 RNY/Bypass Post Op Support

I have been sleeping more than normal for me. I get tired quickly. I was told it would be normal for quite some time. I'm just glad I can sleep. The first few nights after surgery I kept having dreams that I was eating something I wasn't supposed to and it would wake me up. lol But those stopped. -

What is your go to food when you're out and forgot to bring?

After a few days with no loss I finally am down 1 pound. Yesterday I was questioning all this nonsense for a bit. But only because I was frustrated with a few days of no loss. Now I'm ok again. lol Just call me fickle. lol

I have not lost anything in three days. I had been losing a crazy 1 pound a day with pre-op and post op diet. But when I started adding my 2 ounces of non protein liquid three times a day I stopped losing. I know its nothing to be worried about and the weight will come off. Its just that seeing that weight falling off was helping me to accept that I can't eat. Today I didn't exercise for the first time in 19 days and I started getting a little frustrated that I can't eat whatever the heck I want to eat. So this slow down in the weight loss has affected my mood and attitude a bit. lol I know its only temporary so thats what i'm telling myself for now. -

I use a lunch tote that keeps things cold with blue ice bar. It keeps my shake cold for hours. I carry it with me wherever I go so that I don't miss getting in my protein shake or water. I'm not on any solid food yet but when I am I'm sure I can just throw the in too. We went to the botanical gardens the weekend after my surgery and I just carried my tote with me. -

sweetnell, if you would like information on post op diet plan I can give you information on what I have. My program included a six monthly nutrition class and at the last one we were given detail information on post op diet plan to insure a good success after surgery. We also have two in-person support groups a month that is facilitated by a nutritionist and psychologist - very helpful. Sorry to hear you got sick last night. I have heard these stories and am not looking forward to experiencing. But I hear there is a lot of trial and error on what our new stomach will accept. Take care, -

Hope the post op appointment goes well. I have been weighing myself daily too. I know some don't agree with doing that but for me it is part of my motivation. That and the fact that I feel better and feel like moving more. I'm 19 days post op and feeling good except that I get exhausted quickly. I was losing a pound a day but have slowed the last few days to 1/2 a pound a day. At first it was disappointing but then I think like you said we need to relax and slow down our expectations. It will come off! )

I'm 19 days post op and doing really good. Since I started adding 2 ounces of liquid calories (V8, strained cream Soup ...) its been a little harder getting in my Protein shakes. The type of Protein shake I'm using - Premier Protein from costco - means I have to get at least 2 and a 1/3 in to reach my required 70 to 90 grams of protein a day. I'm getting tired of the shakes but I just keep telling myself that it's part of the program to be healthy. At support group last night they talked about it taking up to an hour to eat 3 ounces of solid protein in early stages. Since that would not be possible for lunch on work days I'm preparing myself for staying on Protein Shakes well into the future for work days at least. Got my walk in this morning and it felt a little easier. -
So tired, sleepy the past few days. I think maybe I overdid it on Saturday and am still recovering on Monday. I have not been able to get it in my mind that I can't be superwoman right now! lol

Crystalk, that baked potato does sound good. Of course we would be full after one bite, huh? lol I am getting the tomato taste in with my low sodium V8 I was able to start a couple days ago.
