Do you still have your gallbladder? -
I’m still here! Just been busy & enjoying life 50 pounds lighter! How are you doing?

I bought some but didn’t eat it. I just Puréed whatever I had made for the family. My puréed chicken with made with broth was way better then premade baby food!

I’m just over 5 months out. I’d say it took me about 2-3 months. When others started to notice or family members told me how good I am doing.

This surgery takes a lot out of you. My daughter had a hard time going back to work in retail at 10 days. She found it hard to get enough protein in to have enough stamina to make it through a 4 hour shift.

I had mine at 53. So glad I did! -
I has that until I started eating solid foods at least twice a day.

Higher calorie foods for gastric bypass
toodlerue replied to greenlitego70's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
Is there a nutritionist you can talk to? One from the hospital or through your insurance? We have Cigna & I talked With one on the phone every 2-3 weeks after my surgery. Best of luck to you. -
Yeah! Congrats on shopping on the other side of the store!

Cook veggies in broth to give them more flavor & then use some of the broth when you mush them.

6 weeks out, now ready to eat "normal" foods...Questions inside
toodlerue replied to CyclicalLoser's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I ate Meatloaf made in my insta pot during the soft stage. I didn’t have any problems at all. The insta pot makes The meatloaf so tender & juicy not at all like when I would make it in the oven. Everyone is different you have to figure out what your body can handle -
Yes! It means they are healing. I have always put a hydrocortisone cream on my stitches when they started to itch! I had major back surgery 5 years ago. Image having a 20” incision down the middle of your back start itching! I used hydrocortisone on that too with no problems! Just make sure your hands are clean!

It normally takes me 3 months to go through my 60 count of Norco (I have them because my back is fussed from T2-T12). I went through 1 bottle the month after surgery. The pain in my shoulder from the gas used during surgery was so bad for 3 weeks. The pain lasted longer then any other gas pain I had from any of the abdomen surgeries when the gas was used.

I’m at the same place you are. My surgery was May 16th. I have only lost 25 since surgery, but 35 since Jan. That’s when my doctor counts it from.

Paraesophageal Hiatal Hernia
toodlerue replied to manleygirl's topic in Gastric Bypass Surgery Forums
I had A Fundolipaction 12 years ago to repair a Hiatal hernia. It came undone & forced my esophagus into an L shape & 1/2 of my stomach was above my diaphragm. I had a bypass 2 months ago. My BMI is in the 30’s. My dr made my stomach a little bigger & didn’t bring as much of my intestines up. He isn’t a Bariatric Dr. He’s a Thorasic/Esophagus dr. -
I had A RNY in May. I don’t have problems with gas at all. I’m constipated most of the time & I’ve read that that’s normal too. Everyone is different after surgery so who knows what your body will do.

Talk to the supervisor who’s name you have! Something isn’t right. I’m don’t think anything is fishy, i just think no one knows what they are talking about!
