Interesting thought. I have always gotten car sick. I have noticed that I can read in the car now. I never thought that having a RNY would change that but maybe it did.

Do you really think it’s a good idea to ask a bunch of strangers with no medical degree if it’s OK to go against your surgeon’s instructions? There’s a medical protocol for this surgery for a reason.

Just focus on protein & fluid intake right now.

Good question. I’m allergic to Gavilyte-G (just one of the prep solutions) so I had to drink something else. I can't remember what it was.

One way to slow your eating down is to put your utensils down between bits.

Amazing! Congratulations on everything!

I had them I’m my hips recently. Never thought that I shouldn’t.

Just goes to show that we all are on our own journey. What works for someone might not work for every one. Listen to your body & do what’s right for you!

Ohmyword. I’m so sorry you were treated so badly! She needs to be reported ASAP. This cannot be tolerated! My heart is aching for the emotional & physical pain you are in. What is wrong with people ?!?!?

Yes! I took meclazine for a few months after my RNY. I still take every now & then 11 months out.

I took a lot of anti nausea & gasX the 1st 2 months post op. My daughter didn’t start feeling well until she could add eggs & soft foods after her surgery. Does your insurance have a nutritious you can speak with? We have Cigna & they called me every week for the 1st 2 months.

What an inspiration!

I also use the Poo Keeper app to keep track of everything.

I was the same way! I was taking 2 laxatives, 2 stool softeners, eating 4 prunes, and using miralax everyday. My PCP told me to take 200-300mg of magnizium cirate a day for 4 days in the morning. If I needed more help I was to add another dose in the evening. Do that for 4 days. Add another does in the afternoon if I needed to. I take it 3 times a day now & I have a movement every morning now when I wake up. They aren’t always little rabbit turds either 🤣 anymore. It was painful getting to the 3 doses a day but it has helped me so much. I still need to do an enema about once a week just to clean it all out. I have been consipated for for most of my life, the surgery & the eating of small amounts of food at a time just made it all worse!

Focus on Protien right now.

You’ve lost 20 pounds in less then a month!!!! That’s pretty good! There is an app call Get~2~Goal You put in your weight, type of surgery & some other info. It shows you where you should be at.

Yes! Sometimes after I eat I just need to get the taste of the food out of my mouth so I will take a small sip and swish it around. Servers just look at me funny when I don’t want anything to drink. I just Ask for water to make them feel better.

I burp if I have eaten too much. I have ruduced my Estrodiol to 1/2mg. I still have an occasional headache.

Why should they? Everyone should take some form of vitamin.

I love our Magic Bullet. If I made A roast for the family I would Blend up some meat add a cooked carrot & some juice. It was pretty good.

It just depends on your doc & your starting weight. I wasn’t told to do anything but a bowl prep the night before. I put Myself on a 2 week liquid diet.

Soup & scrambled eggs.

You don’t need much. Chapstick, phone charger, pillow. Wear something comfortable to the hospital & wear the same thing home.

When did you have surgery?
