HW = 428 Gastric Bypass on September 19, 2016 Today's Weight = 352

I would suggest Gas-X Strips to cope with the gas pain...if you haven't already tried them. This is a post I just received that provides a solid overview of the issue of gas following bariatric surgery: Gas Relief After Weight Loss Surgery

Thanks for clearing up the term "Full" liquids for me.

I'm not sure what you mean by "Full" liquids, however, my bariatric team recommended sugar-free beverages such as Crystal Light, Propel, Fruit20, Powerade Zero, Sugar-Free Kool-Aid, etc. Personally, I relied upon, Propel and Crystal Light. Hope this helps.

My Nutritionist and Bariatric team strongly recommended Premier Protein both pre and post for easy protein. The only drawback to the Protein shakes were they made it necessary for me to begin mixing in some additional Fiber to my yogurt and other soft foods. In addition to Premier Protein, I've began to also use EAS Myoplex Original with 42 grams of Protein. I drink 1/2 to start the day and then the other 1/2 later in the day. I especially like their chocolate Fudge flavor. I just had my 5 week post-op visit with my doctor and the bariatric team and I am down 64 pounds from my HW and 28 pounds from my weight on the day of my procedure.

I was advised to take them with unsweetened applesauce, however, I soon began to add them to Oikos Triple Zero Greek Yogurt and that added an extra 15 grams of Protein in the morning and another 15 grams in the evening. I have a mix of pills with some needing to be taken in the morning and others at night before I go to bed.

Excellent advice from what I've been advised.

You are a brave one, Heather! My RNY was on September 19th and "bread" is not anywhere on my immediate horizon or the program laid out for me by my Doctor and Bariatric team.

I just celebrated reaching four weeks post RNY. I was heavily restricted to 1 oz. each 15 minutes for the first 10 days, however, after that, I have had absolutely no problem consuming a high volume of liquids. I try to base my water/liquid intake on proper hydration levels adjusted to my gender, age, height and weight and by doing that my ultimate target is over double the much trumpted 64 oz target. There are numerous hydration calculators available online.

Can I have regular yogurt while on liquid diet Sent from my HTC Desire 626s using the BariatricPal App

I'm 29 days out with my RNY. During the early phase, I relied on Premier Protein shake, EAS Myoplex and Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt for protein. Still using a combination of them to get an early boost of protein to start my day. If I use the Premier Protein Shake and an Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt to start my day, I have just taken in 45 protein units. If I use the Myoplex, I drink 1/2 in the morning and 1/2 later in the day with an Oikos Triple Zero Yogurt and it gives me 36 protein units to start my day. Hope that helps.

Walking is an important element in your recovery and program. There is nothing to say you can't get your steps in by walking inside in your home. Break it down into 5 minute blocks and try to do two of them your first week and increase it by two more in week two, three, etc. If you have a pedometer or fitbit it can keep fairly reliable track for you and record your progress online. Don't let your parents or others get you down! Just take care of yourself by taking care of yourself and following YOUR program.

Glad to be able to add a little light to your day!

I've been asking myself that same question and it prompted me to begin posting some bariatric friendly recipes and cooking tips here: https://www.pinterest.com/RonnieBob428/boards/
