I am 20 days post op and have good days and then days when I have 0 energy. I'm walking 30 min on treadmill everyday. I'm not drinking protein shakes. Just eating breakfast lunch and dinner and taking all my vitamins. Could the lack if protein shakes be the reason I'm so tired. Any suggestions to improve energy?

I've done great since surgery in May but I haven't lost any weight in two weeks. I'm down 115 lbs but now the scale has stopped. I did add some pasta once a week but zero bread. I'm having about 750 calories per day and walking about 2 miles every am. Any suggestions?

As of Today I've lost 100LBS since RNY May 12th
mtwtvl71 posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
Today is a great day! Today I hit the 100lbs mark. I had my RNY on May 12th and as of my weight in today I've lost 100LBS. That is just over 3 months time. I'm doing great and eating healthy every day. I'm at around 700 calories per day and walk 2 miles every morning 5 days a week. I've just started to tone and lift light weights at the gym. I feel great and can't believe that i fit into an x-large shirt now..I was 3/4XL before. THis is the best decision I've made and have 0 regrets. I feel great and have so much more energy. -

It's been 12 days post surgery and I'm going excellent. I have tons of energy and walking 2 miles a day in the treadmill. Had chicken salad on the purée phase and had no issues at all. I'm so happy I did this. I just feel so much better.

Extreme fatigue and low energy
mtwtvl71 replied to Sherbear911's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hear you. I'm two months out and feel much better. It has gotten better. -
I think it was just a healing process. I'm doing good now but struggle getting. 80 grams of protein in but am trying. I'm at 700 calories a day and 60grms of protein.

I have a cup a day. No issues at all.

Does anyone have snacks
mtwtvl71 replied to msshellg's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
When did you start popcorn? I'm a little over 2 months RNY. I LOVE POPCORN FOR THE CRUNCH. -
Went to the Dr today and in the 200s now. Doing good. Tried steak yesterday and it didn't go we'll. got very sick. Will wait a few weeks and try it again. But otherwise all is good. So glad I had RNY.

I'm 6 weeks out and am FINALLY able to work out. My energy has finally come back. I took my recovery 1 day at a time. Some days were ok and others I could barley get out of bed. Just listen to your body. Best of luck. Healing is a process.

4 weeks out and down 54 lbs
mtwtvl71 replied to mtwtvl71's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I made chicken salad chopped very fine and used fat free ranch dressing instead of Mayo. It was very good. You can add a little chicken stock to it also. Also egg salad chopped very fine with onion powder. I added strawberry protein powder to my yogurt and added it to SF pudding too. Also made chili then used a hand blender to make it smooth. It was so nice to eat something with flavor. Of course cottage cheese and applesauce no sugar added is good too. -
I had surgery on Monday morning. Spent two nights in the hospital then was released last night. I'm doing really good. I have no hunger and am just starting my full liquid diet today. Overall the pain wasn't bad. The worst part was having the drain removed before I left the hospital.

That is awesome.

I've been struggling with energy the last few days. I'm getting protein in and walking at the gym. Yesterday I was do tired I could hardly walk. Doing better today. I guess it's all in the healing process. I did add carbs to my diet. I had mashed potatoes last night and 1/2 banana this am. Maybe that will help. Any suggestions? -
I had 60 grams of protein today so I think that is ok. I had 1 egg cottage cheese and chicken for lunch.

Did any one else have the JP drain taken out before they went home from hospital? I have to pack it with gauze and change the bandage every day. I'm only 5 days post opp. How long before this closes up? It's hard to sit up straight or bend. Any one else?
-
So i'm 13 days post opp and I'm walking 2 miles a day. I feel great and can't believe the difference. I've not had any issue with my pouch or eating at all. I'm very mindful to only eat 6 OZ at a meal and no snacking at all. I'm getting about 50G of Protein a day and am trying to increase it. I put the strawberry flavored Protein powder in my yogurt or add the non flavored one to cottage cheese. I did make an awesome chicken salad using Fat Free Ranch Dressing and it turned out excellent. I also made egg salad and added protein power into the mix. I'm doing great and can't believe how good i'm doing. I don't have hunger like i used to. Last night I almost forgot to eat dinner...UMM That has never happened before. I'm already down a pants size and love the feeling. I've decided to only weigh myself every 7 days. I don't want to get hung up on the number but rather the feeling of having energy and clothes fitting. Good luck to all the JUNE Surgery folks! My Partner is having his surgery on Monday June 2nd. He is on the liquid phase now and already lost 15LBS. Its nice that he has decided to have it too so that we can both get healthy together. My next door neighbor noticed I lost weight and said something. He said well at least you won't have boxes of Dominos pizza anymore in the garbage bin...LOL Thanks everyone for the words of encouragement!

How long after surgery did you excersize
mtwtvl71 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello all 6 days postop and still have some incision pain. I'm doing lite house choirs and a little walking. I think I'm just getting antsy and feel like I should be doing more. I take a short walk to the mailbox etc. Any support or insight is appreciated. Drinking and eating 2 oz is going fine. The pills are tough but I manage to get them down. I have my first follow up on Tuesday with Nutrician and surgeon. -
Thanks to everyone for info and support. . . down 50 lbs today!
