Is the broth from like a regular can of soup with actual vegetables in it? Cuz i bought these big carton things of just plain broth in a variety of brands and cant stand it...

Had my one week post op checkup today. Doc said I look amazing, and had he not done the surgery he never would have known I had surgery much less banded RNY. I'm down 23lbs from my hospital high and can't wait to see this journey unfold.

Hello everyone!!! I need your advice. My surgery was on Oct. 10 and I have not had a bowel movement yet. I'm on clear liquid only diet right now until Monday. Is this normal to not have a bm for so long? Should I wait a little longer or should I go ahead and just call the doctor? I'm sorry if this is a little personal but I'm not sure if I should be worried yet or not.

Why you still on clear liquids so long? Just wondering. I hadn't surgery yet but my post op education plan has in it to walk, make sure you are getting 64oz oz liquids and try taking milk of magnesium. but it never hurts to check with physician.

It is completely normal. Try taking Miralax it does take a couple days to work or you can use suppositories too

Most bypass patients require gall bladder removal too. Some get it during surgery some a few months after. My surgeon already said that he prefers to do it after

My doctor only has you do clear liquids one day before surgery but 2 weeks after surgery. He said doing the Protein Shakes and all the other stuff only makes everybody really nauseated and causes more stomach problems. I can have sf Jello, sf Popsicles, broth, coffee, tea, juice and G2 Gatorade if I feel I'm getting dehydrated and if course Water :-). Thank u for answering my post. Nobody ever seems to answer any of my questions.

      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.
