Thank you so much! I will start with those and see how I like them... I can have a few bites of bread, after that I feel bloated and my belly is heavy. Pancakes initiated "dumping syndrome" but did not vomit, only sweaty, nausea, heart racing. I find that same feeling accompanies anything overly sweet as well. My biggest want is just healthy recipes, I'm looking online for a cook book of some sort to guide me.

I am post op 1-9-15, in down 36 lb. What I am finding is that we are healing internally and now I'm starting to see the scale move... Take it slow, rest, be easy your first couple months- it will come off!! I'm in the same boat and I starting to see changes slowly but surely! I had my surgery and then a post op GI bleed 9 days after discharge, they had to put 22 lb of fluids on me, setting me wayyyyy back!! It will happen, we will do it!!

If that's what you wanted, I'll root along with you!! ???? however, at 28, it wouldn't be good for me!

What app is this? I have been looking for something like this!!

I'm very nervous about the weight gain too and hence the reason I am hesitant! I know there's many options, I'm aware of the pill (just not thrilled to add another one to my pile... I had a post op GI bleed and currently on soooo many meds!) I also am uncertain what I can take due to have the bleed...

I am up 15 pb from all the IV fluids and vitamin bags and plasma they had to put in me... One foot in front of the other, it'll all happen in due time!

I had RNY on the 9th of jan and 10 days later landed in the ER due to SOB. I was told I was severely tachycardia and had internal bleeding. I called the office earlier that day and they informed me that blood in my stool was "normal" for first BMs.... I ended up staying 6 days and am worried that I'm not going to get the results I hoped for. I do not feel as though I'm losing weight fast enough compared to others and also feel this was a major set back, as now I have 4 additional mess to take for ulcers... I understand!

Today is my first day of foods (ie- cottage cheese, grits, oatmeal, and mashed potatoes)... I tried a shot glass sized portion of grits earlier and ate until I was semi- "full". A few hours later, I was hungry again.... Is this normal? What steps are people taking to maintain that full feeling as to not stretch your pouch? Am I doing anything wrong?

What worked best for you? Are instant potatoes ok to have? Or should we be peeling a potato and mashing?

Thank you! Maybe I have a misunderstanding... Every 3 hrs I will try! I have been very good with my fluid intake, slacking with the protein drinks, but my surgeon/doctor says they do not want us on the protein shakes for long. 2 weeks max-- it leads to us drinking our calories.
