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

      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.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
