Good For You, That's Awesome!!!!

I had the same surgery as you and for 3 months I threw up constantly. After 3 months surgeon did an Endoscopy and loosened the pouch, problem solved!!

Are you sipping your Water with a spoon? I had the same trouble in the beginning and I was told that the water intake was more important so you don't get dehydrated. You don't want that because then you'll have a whole new set of problems to contend with! Good Luck & just take it slow.

Hi, I am so sorry for your situation. First of all I would demand that surgeon see me. After I had my RNY I threw up consistently for 3 months. Surgeon went back in and loosened the pouch a little, no more vomiting! When I first started to eat I got a pain in my upper chest right side, it was awful, it finally subsided. Everything takes time and I know it's hard when you're going through it, but hang in there. But do make that surgeon see you & discuss what's going on. The P.A. and nurses haven't been trained like the surgeon. Good Luck to you, and stand your ground!!

Oh I sympathize with you. I had a real bad problem with gas, the smell, the sound and the pain. Mine were so bad that my cat used to give me a dirty look and leave the room, I'm not lying! I was advised to walk a lot and take Gas X. Now this may sound strange but they sell "fart pads" that go in your underwear and they are supposed to absorb the smell. You can look it up on line, maybe that would help you. I hope so, I've been there and it's miserable. Good Luck to you!

When we have a calorie intake limit for the day, should that include the calories in your protein drinks? Some of my protein powders have 119 calories in one serving, and I have to have 3 a day. I'm one year post-op RNY, and I've gained 5lbs after losing 41lbs. I'm getting worried.

@@ambermj Yes it does help, Thank You

No I said can't be intubated the REGULAR way. I guess there is a special procedure.

I agree with the others, but don't buy mouthwash with alcohol in it. There is also a drink called Isopure ready to drink, they have all different flavors and a 20 oz bottle has 40gms of protein, my favorite is blue raspberry, everybody else's too cause its on back order at Lucky Vitamin, but you can also get it at Amazon but theirs cost a little more. Good Luck!

It could be. I was reading somewhere that if you want to lose 2lbs a week taking into consideration my height & weight now, my calorie limit is 1200 daily.

Good For You! That's Awesome!!!

Hi, don't have any suggestions for capsules, but I take Bariatric Support Chewable Multi. It's once a day, berry flavor and they don't taste gross. They are made by TwinLab, and I get them at the Vitamin Shoppe.

The name of the company that handles Isopure …..their e mail is….the isopurecompany.com

It looks like Amazon.com might ship it. They do international shipping

Oh ok, I didn't know you were out of the country, darn it. Well let me do some research & maybe we can find something that will work!

The company Lucky Vitamin will ship it, that's how I get mine with no problems. You can also get it at Amazon but their prices are higher.

Yes that's right clear bottles. I started mine a couple of weeks after surgery. As far as the Vitamins go I use Bariatric Support Chewable Multi, by TwinLab, there is 60 tablets in the bottle. I get them from The Vitamin Shoppe. They don't taste bad at all, although they're the size of a hermit crab! Thank God they're chewable! Lol Vitamins are berry Flavor.

I think you have to keep up the Protein forever, but you know there are Isopure RTD beverages you can buy. They have assorted flavors, 20oz. bottles 40gms of protein in each bottle. I buy mine from Lucky Vitamin, they have the best prices. My favorite is blue raspberry. They are really good & there is no after taste.

Could you be drinking too fast? The Protein powder I use is called Milk shake Bar, they are really good. My surgeon said at least 60gms a day. My Protein Powder has per serving 3.6mg. carbs, sugars 2.6, protein 22g. They have several flavors, and I buy it on line from Amazon. Good Luck!

I can really appreciate how you feel. After my RNY I threw up for 3 months each time I ate something. It turns out the pouch was very tight so he went in and loosened it, and Wa-La, the barfing stopped. Don't feel bad or have regrets, it does get better, It really does. Keeping good thoughts for you!!

Hi, I wasn't working at the time of my surgery, but I also had laproscopic by pass and I had no pain whatsoever. I took it easy for 2 weeks so as not to pull the staples out. I recovered very quickly. Hope you have as good of an experience as I had. My Dr. was fantastic!

I had really bad gas pains for months, it just finally went away. I don't know about the weight thing though. Are you getting your protein & water in?

Hi, Yes, I'm 11 months out and I have been feeling like I'm starving! At first I was throwing up after eating & drinking so at 3 months post op surgeon did endoscopy and loosened the pouch. Well I have not lost any weight since then. In the first 4 months I lost 41lbs, that was great, but it stopped. I'm just lost, I'm so worried I have stretched the pouch and I sure don't want to start gaining weight. I want to lose at least another 20lbs. I take my vitamins and protein 60gms daily, but I'm still hungry. What can I do? I had RNY.

The protein powder I use to make the shakes is Protein Milk shake Bar. The flavors are delicious, my favorites are Rocky Road & Vanilla Caramel. I had tried different ones and this is the brand that won hands down. I get them from Amazon. Good Luck!
