Hey there. 2.5 months post op RNY. Tomorrow I start a boot camp work out program. I am trying to plan my food so that I have the energy I need. It's at 11 am so I think I can get two meals in. Anyone big into fitness. I am thinking of a shake and just before some eggs with cheese. And a shake after. Thoughts? Any help is appreciated. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I would reach out to them or your bariatric doctor. I was told no prednisone. I have RA and used to have to take pred a lot. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Does that dr know about your WLS? I was told firmly no prednisone. High occurrence of ulcers. Be careful!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yes, you'd know it immediately. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I use this app. I like it because it reminds you exactly where to measure to take consistent measurements. Baritastic - Bariatric Surgery Tracker by NBL Media LLC https://appsto.re/us/vB6L1.i Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you having RNY or sleeve? I had RNY and can't imagine having gone back to work the first 2 weeks. You are so low energy. The 3rd once you are eating (if RNY) your energy level is so much better. If you have the time take it. Mine was covered by short term disability. Look into that. I was surprised that bypass was covered under short term disability and FMLA.

Question for you all. I had RNY 10/24/16. In down 55 pounds (wooohooo) but when I take pics or try to see the difference I don't see it. I mean I notice a little change but don't see 55 pounds of change. Anyone else having trouble seeing their own progress? Don't get me wrong, I KNOW 55 pounds in two months is AMAZING.

New to this so I think I typed a reply in the wrong place. Was your surgery performed as an outpatient and have you had any complications? Sent from my LGL82VL using the BariatricPal App I have never heard of anyone have RNY outpatient? Anyone? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My tastes changed drastically post op. My go to now is 1% milk and a scoop of Isopure flavorless protein powder!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

There is a Splenda version of brown sugar. That would be a good alternative per my plan. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My 2 cents...I had this concern too. Ultimately I decided I wasn't comfortable lying, omitting, or altering the truth. I felt like the lifetime diet change and weight loss would make a liar out of me so I went with the truth. I was open at work and with family. As far as friends, if the asked I was honest. Truth be told I'm very happy with my decision. I have gotten more support and positive responses than I could have even expected. I was so surprised by people reaction and encouragement. But it boils down to you and your comfort super personal decision. Just sharing mine because I went with a less comfortable decision and I feel blessed from doing that.

Hi there. Ok 2 months out from RNY. I have followed every rule to a t. I'm down 49.5 pounds. Up until 2 days ago I would say textbook and going great. All the sudden 2-3 days ago I started having pain in my tummy. Constant contracted pain. It's a dull pain not to bad unless I try to eat. Everything I eat bothers my tummy. I can drink milk ok and Water but that's it. Any thoughts? My first issue I don't want to over react. Thought someone here could maybe help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you taking any kind of acid reducer, like a proton pump inhibitor (protonix, omeprazole, etc)? I went off mine briefly about 5 weeks ago (only for about 3 days) started getting some tummy pain kind of like what you describe, and a couple days after I resumed that med, it went away. Sent from my SM-G928V using the BariatricPal App I am on omeprazole. They suspect a stricture. We will see in the am. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
