    I just had my bypass on Monday. Had a few small complications and actually just got home from the hospital a few hours ago (3 days post op). My weight day of surgery was 361.2 and when I weighed myself when I got home was 376!!!!!!!! Someone please tell me this is normal and will just fall off. I obviously haven't had anything to eat except for Water and a couple Protein shakes so how can this be?!?!?! I don't go back to the doctor until Tuesday so I need some help from somebody who's been through this before!!!

    It is most likely Water weight from IV fluids given in the hospital. Keep hydrated and it will fall right off!

    The three most important elements after RNY gastric bypass surgery are to meet your daily Protein, Fluid and Vitamin requirements. food is secondary because your body is converting your stored fat into the energy that drives your body. Thus you lose weight.

    Weight loss is achieved after surgery through meal volume control. You begin at 2 ounces (1/4 cup) per meal and gradually over the next year and a half increase the volume to 1 cup per meal. With this minuscule amount of food, it is next to impossible to meet your Protein daily requirements by food alone, so therefore you need to rely on supplements such as Protein shakes.

    So generally your weight loss comes off without very much effort after RNY gastric bypass surgery provided you following the guidelines for fluids, protein, Vitamins, exercise and meal volume. The only advise that I can give is that several individuals will commonly experience a stall every now and then. Your protein requirement is met by a combination of the protein that you obtain from meals combined with the protein the you obtain from supplements. So around month 2 or 3 as your meal volume begins to increase, you have an option. If you concentrate on consuming high protein meals, then you have the option of reducing the amount of protein supplements and the calories those supplements contain. I went from 3 Protein Shakes a day, down to 2, down to 1 and eventually none when I reached 1 cup per meal at a year and a half post-op. This is how I broke my stalls.

    James,

    Thank you so much for this beneficial information. I will keep this in mind as I proceed with this journey!

    Is there such a thing? All of the ones I'm seeing have sugar unless it's plain.

    Greek yogurt would be the best preference to go with. Less calories and more Protein

    I'm worried about dumping with the sugar in it.

    Chobani yogurt has "Chobani 100" which comes with fewer grams of sugar and fewer calories. Try it out, if it doesn't suit you, you can always try Dannon Oikos triple zero which is sugar free

    I had that. My surgeon calls it "ridging" and said it's Fluid built up and it will dissipate. Mine was nearly gone by my 6 week checkup but was there from week 3

    I called the office today as I was extremely concerned. They said that as long as it wasn't red or leaking it would probably be a Fluid bubble built up. Did it hurt you to move around in any way?
