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.

Removal of ten yo band to rny due to severe gerd and slip . Ready to be going . Loopy from all the pre drugs .

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

Lots of pain but drug are good lol . So far so good

Yeah I ate Greek yogurt and oatmeal this morning but okay on eating light today and doing magnesium citrate drink to flush it all out by Thursday morning . I just don’t want a painful bowel movement a ew days after .

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 .

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 215 revising from band to bypass so only about 50 or do and I’m good and my revision is on the 9th because of GERD too and slip

I was told with bypass we don’t digest that much protein in one sitting . I think it’s too much

I had a lap band ten years ago , I was successful even through a lot of intolerance. It has slipped and even though I lost 85% of my weight and regained some after triplets 5 years ago I’m still riddled with diabetes etc. so because of the hormonal component the rny is happening on August 9 and band being removed . I even had to gain like 15lbs to be the right BMI (ugh) But I don’t really remember the pain. I remember some and recovered fast . I’m anxious to never feeling stuck again and never feeling this port in my abdomen but I’m just nervous of how I will feel already being anemic and having three 5yos . The surgery the day before kindergarten starts :( I’m also hangry since now that I’m approved and on a low carb diet until surgery and low carbing stinks . How long will I stay ? I just stayed overnight with a band .

In my feelings lol

You should be fine

*getting and by sweetened I mean artificially

Most sugar free koolaids are sweetened . If you are just fretting the regular packets and sweetening them yourself with stevia you will be fine

Bone broth with extra bouillon to flavor it more. Broth sucks unless well seasoned . Season or more

I don’t see why not

Hi everyone . I’m being revised due to a slip and intolerance to a ten yo band to rny in 2 weeks . My doctor only asked that my pre op diet be low carb and high protein which to them is probably 25-30 carbs a day. I’m a raging type 2 diabetic. No longer on insulin since my band ten years ago and my A1C is only about a 7 right now but I take 1000mg of metformin , and two other diabetes meds ; one as needed if I eat too many carbs (prandin) and a daily before I eat morning one (invokana) But forcing myself to eat this super low in carbs will crash me and have me feeling sickly or hospitalized I’m sure . Wondering if I should just wean off of it and just take the regular metformin for now . I see my surgeon next Wednesday on the 31st for anpre op appt as my rny is scheduled August 9.

I messaged her and she told me to stop taking invokana and prandin, continue metformin and have a follow up with her post surgery

I understand. I’m only 215 but had to liver shrink my lap band surgery ten years ago . I messaged my endocrinologist about nixing meds except my metformin and testing regularly to see what she thinks . 20-25 carbs a day just won’t float with that much medicine

True I know this . I’ll be making a phone call
