Almost two weeks post op from revision band to rny
sld21 posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
Thursday is to weeks . I’m technically on thick and pureed so I’ve been loading down with protein . I have no issues getting fluid or food in . Down about 13lbs. I hope I’m doing it right and hope to move on to soft foods on Thursday . I had a protein shake I made with a scoop of premier protein, 1 cup of fair life skim milk and a tablespoon of pb 2 powder.today . Then I ate lunch ; some goat cheese and some turkey bean chili I made last night that I puréed for myself for lunch . I made sausage and shrimp jambalaya tonight for my family and only tried a couple bites of meat and chewed until mush . Plenty of fluid . I ate boiled egg white yesterday even through technically on the soft food phase and mushed it in my mouth and it was fine going down . The only difference I’ve noticed from revision is that I’m not stuck from a top right hand and I feel like I feel every bit of food traveling through my intestines like left to right . It doesn’t hurt just strange . I’m guessing that’s normal . Does this sound like I’m doing ok ? -
I’m assuming that post op diarrhea is normal due to the stages of eating . I just had a revision from band to rny on Thursday so I’m 6 days post op. I was just discharged Sunday . I’m on stage 1 of clear liquids still and protein. I’m gassy and every gas is watery stools and constant . I’m also on an antibiotic and the side effect could be the trots . I’m sure sugar alcohol had aggravated it too. I’m just worried about dehydration happening as I’m trying to stay hydrated . I did introduce a triple zero Greek yogurt today because I’m tolerating fluid fine just being slow as instructed . I have had waters, a premier protein shake , some broth, some high protein low sugar ice cream (Enlightened) so about 300 calories today . I’m probably extra gassy from the 3 net carb good for you ice cream but I was already pouring watery stools being just on clear fluids . I’m hoping that once other textures come back that this tapers off? Thursday they should start me level 2 since I ate Greek yogurt today as I consider it liquid once it goes in.

It’s gone now and post op has not been fun. I had it Thursday but got discharged Sunday . I’m hoping the trots leave whenever food picks up as I’m constant but I’m only on clear fluids and just started protein yesterday -

I have almost two masters degrees and was successfully teaching . I had lost 120lbs with my band prior . I’m sitting at the hospital post my revision right now . No one said they were proud of me . No one needs to be proud of me . I also need to express I did this for my health. This was not about fatness or beauty but purely health. I’m ok with losing that poor health identity

Yep severe gerd and intolerance . I wasn’t gaining a ton but was becoming nutritionally deficient throwing up and barely tolerating water . They unfilled and immediate relief and not taking reflux meds . My bowels are looser at the moment post this infusion but I can do a clean out for sure because I heard post op poops are difficult . -

You could skip the expresso part and just drink regular coffee and cream so less caffeine but some -
You ate that food 9 days out? Wtf? You could damage yourself

If you are on full liquids you can have some coffee . Just don’t overdo it -
I’m having a revision Thursday morning . My old lap band is being removed and revised to an rny. He’s like the top in his game but I did find it unusually wonderful that he is not requiring any kind of pre Op dieting or even a day of clear prior . In fact I can actually drink water up until 3 hours prior . The only thing he mentioned after I received my approval was “hey eat low carb high protein” . I had that pre op weigh last week and had not gained and lost a few and nothing was mentioned . I’m only 215 but need this done for a slip and other health issues . Should I start a liquid diet for myself tomorrow just to kick start and make it easier? I had my band unfilled 3 months ago after ten years of barely eating and major weight loss. I ate a burger today like it was my last meal ever lol. I also had an iron infusion so I’m feeling the yummy distress now . I just wonder if I should do liquid though he doesn’t require it f risk feeling weaker since I’m Profoundly anemic and symptomatic right now .

I found a protein shake on Amazon that has 40 grams of protein in each carton
sld21 replied to apositivelife4me's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I was told with bypass we don’t digest that much protein in one sitting . I think it’s too much -
