My rny was March 13th. I average about 8-10 ounces in an hour but I still have a hard time getting 64oz a day in.

6 weeks out today and down 42 lbs! Woop woop! Feeling really good about myself today! [ATTACH]43917[/ATTACH]

Also, keep in mind that Biotin helps with new hair growth. It won't keep your hair from falling out unfortunately.

I'm 6 weeks out today. At my appointment 3 weeks ago, I asked how many calories I should be taking in, and I was told not to worry about it until my next appointment in May. I average about 600. Sometimes I'm lucky to hit 400. Like today for instance, I just wasn't hungry and had to force myself to eat. I ate a Greek yogurt, a cheese stick and 2oz of tuna.

The hand to mouth motion was the biggest thing for me. I went from smoking menthol lights to no nicotine and I was fine. I have a friend who bought liquids with different nicotine levels to wean herself off.

Really?? It bleeped out the word H00kah

The one I got was flavored like coffee. They come in all different flavors. Some people call them hookah sticks because they come in hookah flavors. I got mine at a local head shop. I paid $10 for one and it lasted me a week and a half and I was done.

I used a nicotine free e cig and it helped tremendously.

About a little after a week out I had it for a good 4 or 5 nights. My doctor had me take a sleep aid but it didn't really work. I'll be 5 weeks out on Thursday and I haven't had it since.

Isn't that for dry mouth?
-
Anybody out there experiencing bad breath or a bad taste in your mouth since surgery? I'm exactly 2 weeks out, on pureed food for two days now. I can't quite explain it but it makes me want to use mouth wash and brush my teeth constantly.
-
Me too! Thanks! Congrats on the weight loss too
-
Yeah, it seems everyone hits it the third week. I was hoping it wouldn't hit me. Wishful thinking lol. Did you guys up your protein or water intake to break it?
-
Good luck to everyone today!
-
18 days out and I've hit a stall the last 4 days. So frustrating. I'm getting all my protein in, 60g, but I'm having an issue getting 64oz of fluids. I find it hard because of having to sip. Going to try upping my protein intake to see if that helps.
-
I have a desk job. My doctor said two weeks but my employer will pay me for 4 weeks so I'm taking the 4 weeks because I could use the break.

Ok, this may seem like too much information, but I need to know if I'm the only one.... While on the two week preop liquid diet, I was in the bathroom at least once every 45-60 minutes to empty my bladder. I'm now 8 days post op, taking in 60+ ounces of fluids the same as before surgery, and I'm lucky to visit the bathroom 4 times a day. When I do go, it's not much. Is this normal with anyone else?
-
I wasn't given a laxative pre-op, just had the two week liquid diet. I had a bm about a week after surgery and am now back to my normal schedule like before surgery. The only thing that has changed is my urine output. It's a LOT less.
-
I eat like every two hours or so. My doctor gave me some sample menus so I try to follow those. They do help. If I don't follow a schedule, I don't get my protein in. I'm having a hard time with the liquids.
-
I only eat the amounts I'm allowed, like 3 or 4 ounces, and I'm done. I haven't really felt hungry yet, but when I eat, I'm satisfied. I don't feel stuffed or anything. I do notice that if I eat too fast, I get the hiccups. I was so thirsty this morning that I took a huge gulp of water without even thinking about it and it hurt. I'll never do that again lol
-
I am craving popcorn soooooo bad. The only time I ate popcorn before surgery was at the movies which was like every other month or so if not longer. I don't know why I want it so bad, but I do
-
When I wake up I literally run to the bathroom to brush my teeth. I brush before I go to bed but my breath is absolutely disgusting in the morning lol
-
The magic of vinegar! I use it for everything! Thanks for the tip!
-
I have found "Eating well after weight loss surgery" to be pretty good. Weight loss surgery for dummies actually isn't too bad either lol. I also follow a couple blogs like, The World According to Eggface, Emily Bites and Bariatric Foodie. Hope that helps

Haha.. I have bad gag reflex, I never swallow gum lol
