I had my RNY a week ago tomorrow. I had horrible post op pain which has improved with the exception of to the left of my belly button. There isn't an incision there either but the pain is excruciating if I push there, twist, sit up or turn over in bed. Anyone else have/had this? Thanks guys!

Hi there, I was losing pretty steadily until about 3 days ago and its just stopped. I'm 13 days post op and have lost 16 pounds so far so I'm not disappointed, I just don't know why it's stopped. Is this normal'ish??

I am 15 days post op and would love a sip or two of Coke Zero. Has anyone had any carbonated beverage or diet soda? I know it's a no no but wonder if anyone has had it. My Mom is 10 years post and and loves Coke. Probably has 1-2/day and hasn't gained a pound since losing 150lbs. I know everyone is different.

You enjoy one Coke Zero Cherry a day yet you support the other gal?? That doesn't make much sense to me.

And I have too. It's Coke Zero for goodness sake. No calories and it was one sip. Most importantly, I was asking a simple question.

Well, you do sound rude. I truly doubt that you have been absolutely perfect. I was asking a question, which is what this forum is for. Not for people like you to place judgement. I don't have a bad relationship with food. That is not what got me here and you know nothing about me so with all due respect take your holier than now opinion elsewhere.

I am 12 days post op and am wondering if I can try a sunny side up egg? I've done well with cottage cheese and butternut squash soup from Trader Joe's but getting tired of eating the same ole, same ole. I'd love ideas to expand my pallette. Thanks!!

That's awesome. I wish I was given the heads up like that. I may weigh tomorrow and see if the scale has moved.

Thanks for the reply. I tried deviled eggs but the egg whites didn't taste too great. I used to love sunny side up eggs so we'll have to see. However, my favorite way of having one is on a piece of toast. Alas, that chapter is over.

I had a couple of sips and it didn't bother me but it's not something I have to have I just really like Coke Zero. ????

Never thought of the suture issue. I thought it was just the gas problem. Thanks for the input.

I had this for nearly a week post op but it did go away, about the same time the stomach gurgling stopped.

That's awful, so sorry. Please keep us posted. I stayed 2 nights because they couldn't get my pain under control. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

I asked the same stupid question so don't feel bad at all. I'm stalled, (I think, havent weighed in a few days) and then upon Googling I noticed that it's a very common concern, especially around the 3 week mark. However, I can tell in how my clothes are fitting that I'm doing just fine. Do read @@Inner Surfer Girls link; great info from her there. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Try Syntrax nectar in Fuzzy Navel or Roadside Lemonade. Neither are overly sweet and like you, I am tired of the chocolaty, milk based. Sent from my iPad using the BariatricPal App

Yes, Gretchen at St. Francis in Federal Way is great and just an all around great lady.

You look amazeballs!! Congrats!

Thanks @@Inner Surfer Girl! I haven't heard of a stall this soon in. I will try to focus on getting enough protein because I'm doing everything else right, especially my h2o intake.

Wow!!! That's amazing,congrats. If you don't mind me asking, what was your starting weight? I am thinking that I'm not eating enough too. I usually can get down 1 Protein shake and a couple spoonfuls of cottage cheese. I will also have a sugar free Popsicle but that's about it. What do you think?Thanks! My starting weight was 338 lbs and I'm 6 ft tall. I mostly get in three meals a day which consists of 4 oz of protein each. I also have a Popsicle as well. Otherwise thats about it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App Ok, Gotcha. How many grams is 4 Oz?Sorry, one more question. How do you get your protein? shakes?

Yikes, 2.5 weeks?!?! I should probably only weigh once a week.

I made deviled eggs for my family last night and the only part that agreed with me was the filling,which is the best part !!!

That sounds like quite the adventure. Why Thailand? Have you been before? That's on my bucket list. I hope everything went well for you!!!!

I am on it for adult acne (minor little breakouts more annoying than anything else) but my doctor has said nothing about it terms of ceasing, even prior to surgery. Sorry I can't be of more help.
