i has my RNY Nov 1, 2021, the first two things that jumped out when i woke up is, had to pee so bad and wanted to throw up! Being groogy i held it and told the nurses needed to pee. After that all i thought about was the feeling to puke. My pain was minimal. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had gastric bypass, Nov 1st. What i wish i knew was how bad and frequent the constipation is, because of the high protein. And the pain it causes in your chest if you eat one bite after the other. And spacing out your vitamins. But i dont regret it, after surgery you look at food differently and everything you were taught with the dietician makes sense.

thank you!! [emoji4] Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

whoa! Im at 12 weeks just behind you and im down 61lbs! Thats sounds alot compared to you. It concerns me this is too quick! My dietician hasnt said anything negative about it. But i started at 317lbs. im guessing thats why its faster? Cause im more heavy? I still cant make my 64oz of water Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I found my husband on a online dating site in 2007, married in 2009 and still together. Had my RNY 11/01, down 55lbs, from 310lbs. This surgery is the best thing i ever did. Good luck!!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

How are you doing? Pls update us. I had mine on Nov 1. Still cant make my protein/water goals and still hurts to eat. Still on puree and some soft foods. But im loving it! Congrats! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

what state do you live in? Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

no, nothing like that. Just a feeling of "stuck" in throat and bad pain under ribcage thats sqeezes and the only relief is to throw up. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

thats what i want to know. Today i had a cup of chicken soup, and ate too fast, had chest pain, and threw it up. Im gonna be 6 weeks post op, had RNY and the most structure food ive eaten is just chicken soup and 1egg. That pain in my chest, thats not dumping correct? Im still doing yogurt and protein drinks daily. im terrified of solid food and feel "safe " this way. Oh, and im loosing hair, started at 3 weeks post op Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had my RYN on Nov 1st, recovered well, and just washed my hair and noticed bunch of hair came out, and i was in disbelief, brushed my hair and a string of hair came out! I cannot believe that i am in hair loss? At 18 days? I am supposed to be on the puree stage, but i like only light and fit greek yogurts by Dannon and chicken broth with carrots. But i do struggle to get in the 80g of protein and water because of the chest pain when drinking/eating as jt passes down. I have to go very slow. Is this "normal" to have hair loss before 3 weeks?

I had my surgery on Nov 1st and already at hairloss stage!!!![emoji24][emoji24] Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Hahaha!!! Dont feel guilty! If you think now, your friends give you that look, after surgery, youre gonna be a celebrity! My family members that didnt know i had the RNY immediately found out and started asking my mom how i was, how was the surgery, its like disbelief. Had my surgery on Nov 1. And this Thanksgiving were hosting, so i cant wait to see the look on friends faces when i eat chicken broth with veggies. And at church we had a chili cook off, i did my chili and didnt eat the whole time, and when i told people why, they just hang on you, like a super power. Its funny, really! By the way, im in Ft Myers, so were across from each other. Good luck! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes its tough! My liquid preop started and ended on 10/24 till 10/31, unfortunately im the one who cooks, hubby didn't. So yes everyday i cheated with one meal during the preop diet. Had only water, ate a very small meal, like a ham/cheese sandwich. Had chicken breast(eating clean) and lost 10lbs that week and had no problems during surgery. Now its very easy to cook, see everyone eat, doesnt bother me. But im 3 weeks post op and hair loss settled in which is frustrating. Good luck, youre gonna rock this!

Yes, for Thanksgiving ill be on puree so, but learned you get full fast after 2 or 3 bites. Im gonna play it safe and have chicken broth with veggies. Last night i had popeyes mashed potatos, could only eat half of the small cup. Goodluck!! Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

I had a one week pre op diet. And i did see my surgeon on the 18th and told the nurse of my weight loss stall. She said, its because im not meeting my protein/water goals, and thats true. Later that night, had a zoom meeting, with another nurse from the surgeons office, and talked about hair loss as a random topic. She also mentioned same thing(protein/water goals), and adding zinc and biotin, using baby shampoo(because of less chemicals) and washing hair one or two times per week. I started biotin and zinc yesterday. And its tough for me to make it to my 80g protein and 64oz. I just didnt expect this so soon. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app

my dr said when i get headaches and feel dizzy, its time to adjust the meds im on. Im only taking Lisinorpil, and on my 1st follow up today, my blood pressure was "normal" and he warned me to contact my primary when i feel this way. Sent from my SM-G973U using BariatricPal mobile app
