I had my rny 2y ago was told 4 sugars or less. Unless its milk sugar like yogurt, then the most important part is to make sure sugar or hfcs, isn't in the first five ingredients.

Hi. I am new to the site but had my bypass 3 years ago and I STILL have issues eating chicken. It just does not agree with my stomach and 9 times out of 10 it ends up being thrown up. I also have dumping even though I know fairly well what I can and cannot tolerate but here is something interesting and my surgeon and nutritionist refused to believe until a scientist said it is possible. . .morphine stops dumping!

I have been on various pain meds for years because of bone & damaged nerve issues and I found that it I ate or drank something that normally gave me bad dumping like a hi energy drink and i took my liquid morphine just after then no dumping. The same went for when i experimented with sweets/candy.

I am in no way saying that anyone should take the above and try it, i am purely warning you because if someone did use the above as a way to stop the dumping and be able to eat what you shouldnt then you are clearly not ready for the bypass surgery and the lifestyle that comes with it.

So far I have lost 160kg (I started at 300kg) and i have plateaud a bit, i need to drop another 20kg.

Do you mind telling us if the bone & damaged nerve issues a result of the Bypass?

Morphine does make you constipated - all opiates do. Laudanum was sold through the early 1900s and was basically liquid opium that was used commonly for dysentery (severe, chronic diarrhea). It was widely abused by the public and sold without prescription (look it up on wiki, it's a fascinating article - people used it for EVERY AILMENT - even to put babies to sleep at night!!). But any opium derivative (liquid morphine included) will have a similar effect.

The effect of taking these medications is profound. Even prn use can build up in your liver. I don't know what nerve damage you have, but it would be wiser to find an alternative than taking this type of medication for the rest of your life. You'd end up a drug addict. Prescription or not, doctor or not, these meds are NOT safe long term!
