I had the bypass on 11/14/16. The only problem I have is constipation but stool softener and miralax take care of it without problems. Stuck to your drs plan and you will be fine. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have the same insurance. I had RNY 11/14/16. It took about 7 days for my answer. I also called to see if there was an answer until my nurse advocate called and told me I was approved. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had RNY on 11/14. So I followed up with my PCP. I am no longer on BP or cholesterol medication and I'm down 21 pounds. That's pretty dang good for 16 days. I'm doing ok getting the fluids in but Protein is another story. I'm using powder mixes now but Friday I'm going to try some Premier Protein and see how that goes. Just wanted to give a little update on my progress. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm drinking a Protein shake eating protein rich food and drinking injury chicken broth to get close to it. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am on the pre op diet. I am on 100 grams of Protein and 100 grams of carbs. I drink 4 protein shakes a day. Slim fast high protein is on my list so I drink those. At lunch I can have a lean protein, 2 veggies and a fruit. Then in between have sugar free Jello and broth. I have gained 4 pounds, is it possible? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had RNY November 14th im doing much better. Started the soft food stage yesterday. Getting in my fluids but having a hard time with Protein. The shakes seem to make me nauseous but I still drink them. Thanksgiving went well. I puréed some stuff up and ate with my family. I'm down 18 pounds since surgery day!

I've been doing some research and I've heard people recommending these strips for the gas pain. I know walking is the key but has anyone tried these? I plan on walking but if these help also it would be good. I'm on board for Monday the 14th. I have to be at the hospital at 5 AM! Spending the weekend getting everything in order. I will be on full liquids when I get home for the first week. Then puréed stage for the second week, soft foods for weeks two and three. I'm so excited for this new journey in my life.

I just had RNY on November 14th. For me the first walk was the hardest. I walked the night of surgery. Do it as soon as you can. Start sipping on Water and even ice chips if your allowed to have them. Ice was my bff. Once you come home it's gets easier. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I had surgery last Monday 11/14/2016, doing great so far. I'm down 15 pounds already. I did have a dumping episode today. I drank my shake to fast. I won't do that again! I start the puréed stage tomorrow and I'm so excited! 3 weeks of liquid diet is enough. I drove to the grocery store today, that was good. No problems with that either. I still get tired easy but I guess that's expected a week out. My husband has been great thru all this. He took very good care of me the first few days. He still fusses if he thinks I'm doing to much. Just wanted to do a little update. Everyone have a blessed week. Happy Thanksgiving!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Did you have the sleeve or gastric? Because you mentioned dumping episode, and they only use that term referring to the gastric bypass Sent from my SM-N920V using the BariatricPal App I had RNY procedure Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I tried lactaid brand milk and I'm still going to the bathroom. But I'm also only 7 days post op. Afraid to try it anymore lol. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Fage yogurt with torani sugar free pumpkin pie spice! It was so good! Just like having pie with cool whip. Can't wait to try the other flavors. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Went this afternoon to have the drain removed. Down 8 pounds since surgery on 11/14. Start puréed stage Tuesday and go back in 3 weeks. Now for this soreness to go away I'll be a happy camper!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So yeah, I went for my pre op with the surgeon today. I was shaking as he was talking! I realized today that this is finally real. The last seven months have flown by but at the same time prepared me for this new journey I'm headed for. Got all my scripts at the pharmacy, of course they had to order the liquid pain medication but that's ok it'll be there Monday. Got all my instructions for Sunday night. Going to spend the weekend getting all my stuff in order and preparing and measuring out all my liquids. I will be on full liquids when I get home so that'll be a treat after all the broth and Jello I've had! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm moving right along. I'm still pretty sore, just got home from post op. Had the drain removed and I'm down 8 pounds since Monday morning. I start the puréed stage Tuesday. Thanks for asking! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
