I wanted the sleeve and had my mind set on that until I had the reflux test and it was so bad the surgeon told me the sleeve was a big NO! I cried in front of him and he asked why I did not want RNY. I couldn't give him a good answer at all. I think in my mind that the RNY was such a huge surgery, but he told me he would give me a week to think about it and that if I was his family, he would highly recommend it. Needless to say, I went with RNY 10 months ago. I never had 1 problem at all. I'm so glad I went this way as I know 4 people with the sleeve and they struggle bad with reflux and their weight loss. In 10 months I lost 125lbs. I work out hard cardio daily and feel the best I have ever been. I am 30 lbs away from my goal weight. I eat so healthy daily too. It's work. I have been on 2 heartburn meds daily at my surgeons request for a full year, but do not have reflux ever. They will be taking me off of them cold turkey in 2 months????????. I was in your same boat, but it all worked out. Good luck

Today I jumped on the scale and I am 6 months and 9 days post-op. I hit my 100 lb loss in that amount of time. My blood work is fantastic. Getting my protein in everyday still. I worry as I hAve never really gotten full and feel hungry often, but document every calorie I eat in my fitness pal, all to make sure I don't overdo it. For those of you who have questions about doing this surgery as I did and almost chickened out, it was the best decision I made. I work out 5 days a week and know this will be a lifestyle forever. Now my husband is thinking of doing this as well. It was a great day today. Thanks for the support on here the last 6 months, it's been hard work for sure????

I had the same exact problem after surgery, it was because I was drinking too fast and eating too fast. It eventually went away. I even called the drs over it. Sip water and eat slowwwww.

Thank you all so much. Gives me options. Im just sick of the same ol, same ol, and i am a rule follower too????

Thank you

Hey guys, i am 3 months post op with rny. I need some healthy low calorie recipes. Im sick of chili and tuna. I dont take meats well unless they are crumbled and juicy. Sick of the same old foods- can someone send me some ideas? Protein based if possible too?

For sure. Ill try to eat @ 950 calories today after my 1 hour cardio. Thanks again!

Thank you. I do fitness pal everyday so i know my protein, fat, calorie and carb intakes. I try not to go over 800 a day as my nutritionist said, but when i work out i add a tad extra in an extra protein shake. 9 days seems extreme for a stall- but thank you. I will try to modify my calories when i lose extra calories. Going to the gym today????! I am not the person who expects the weight off instantly, but i usually went 5 days- no loss, then boom- 3-5 lost. I was just getting worried at the 9 day stretch.

Anyone experience a 10 week post op stall? I am on a stall now for 9 days. I do a bootcamp 2 days a week and have not changed a thing on my diet. Im very careful about what i eat. Just want to know if this is normal. 9 days seems long to not have lost. Should i go back to my liquid diet for a while?

Quick question, I am 7 days post op and feeling fantastic. I am full liquid stage still, but today I got a feeling like something is stuck in my lower lower throat. All I had today was protein shake, Greek yogurt and water and the feelings been there for a few hours. Anyone know what this is? Normal?

Hey guys. I am traveling 3 weeks post for a conference. (Puréed stage). Please give me help on what do put in my suitcase and what to bring with me. Also, please let me know what you all ordered on a restaurant menu so you do not extremely stand out. thanks tons. I can pack a cooler of ice in my suitcase, but let me know what some of you all did.

Just all cream yogurt- no lumps or fruit

I eat Greek yogurt- banana cream, lemon or vanilla. 13 grams of protein per container. I put some cinnamon in the vanilla with a pack of stevia. But that's my go to meal all the time

My surgeon did drains for every patient, no exceptions. She was amazing

I did, but it came out before I was released from the hospital.
