Comlications After Rny



Recommended Posts

Had rny as a revision from a vertical band. Surg was June 26. In August my pouch had completely scarred closed and I had to have emergency surgery. Then a stent and another stent and more emergency surgery. 2 endoscopies with dilation and I am finally free and finished!

Question now is can I pick up and exercise - doctor says yes off handedly like of course. I am cautious though. Should I try walking only first? I belong to a gym or would do home DVD if anyone has thoughts please let me know.

Foodwise I am eating chicken, Beans, edamame, soft food with Protein. I would love to know if you think 80-100 g of protein is really a better plan that the 60 g my doctor ecommends as minimum.

Thanks for any advice. Beth.

I would start off with walking. At least for a week or so, then if u feel good about it add something else. As far as Protein, I am not the person to ask. My doc has a different approach. He did not give me any requirements other than to eat only when I am hungry and have protein first. He used to count protein, but found that the weight loss is greater if u listen to your body instead if trying to force protein when u aren't hungry. In fact, he said no Protein Shakes. The only protein eaten should be naturally found in foods. Enough of me though. DLCoggin would be the person to ask about protein. He is the WLS guru:)

I agree with this completely! However my doc didn't mention this at all I just came to it on my own, I couldn't give up on the communication between my body and I. I haven't had a Protein shake in a week! I'm now 4 weeks out with 65-90g of protein a day:)

My doctor says 60-100 g Protein a day RIGHT in the perfect world yes in my world 60g is pushing it.

As far as exercise I was not allowed to do any ab work outs till I hit the 6 week mark and no heavy weight lifting.

Your doctor knows what's best for you ask him/her.

If you don't drink Protein shakes how do you get in 65-90g? Seems like you can only eat so much.

Cmarie- it can be done. I start my morning with a Protein shake 35g then throughout the day eat light baby bels, string cheese, 2 oz rotisserie chicken, boiled egg.. Eat something with protein every 2 hours during the day and you will hit the magic number

      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.
