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.

No your doctor will say 60-100g of protein daily. I know it's hard but you have to try

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

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.
