I'm not sure if I have a pouch if Iron but I have not have any issues getting sick etc. chicken salad got stuck once because I ate too fast.

I did 2 weeks of full liquid, 1 week of purée, then slowly introduced soft protein- egg, chicken, fish etc. I avoid carbs.

I'm starting to feel like the oddball when I talk to others that have had RNY. From the date of my surgery' date=' 6/25/2012, I have had only one problem and that was dehydration for one day. I have had no nausea/vomiting. No pain other than gas for about 3-5 days. I will be 6wks as of Monday and I can eat just about anything I try with no problem. I'm not brave enough to try anything fried, though. Tonight, I had a about 1/4 of a chicken fajita with no tortilla. My incision that is on the left side.....some people say theirs is kinda ugly. Mine is barely and inch long. However, I did discover at 3wks out that I antibiotics in the pill form aren't my friend. Otherwise, haven't had much of a problem with food. At first I was able to eat more than I can now, but it is slowing down now.

I think I'm a little nervous about my pouch working TOO well. My supervisor told me I'm just blessed.[/quote']

I am the exact same way. Have had no problems, basically never dumped and can eat just about anything I want (I won't try bread/sugar though) and I'm afraid that my pouch isn't all that different from my old stomach. Hell I can knock back 5 shots of rum and won't be that drunk. Idk what's wrong with it

I did liquids for a week, then added soft foods for a week. I was SUPPOSED to do pureed for 3-6 wks. I put some foods in the blender and chopped them up real fine. I chewed EVERYTHING real good. Most foods, I was just able to eat normally. Pretty much, I began introducing foods a little early. No problems, though. I was cleared today at my 6wk appt.

I worry about the same thing. I had complications in the hospital but after that I haven't had any issues. Never took pain meds. I can drink fine (I'm just not thirsty). No trouble with any foods except eggs (and that was a problem prior to surgery). The only time I've been sick is bc I ate too fast. I can eat 2-4 ounces depending on what I'm eating. I thought something was wrong with me!

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
