The unpleasantries of RNY!

I thought it would be a good idea to have a place where we can ask questions or discuss the icky and oddball things that we may not want to bring up in other threads.

So have at it :)

I recently went to the airport and when in the TSA line, I was asked to put my belt through the x-ray machine. As I am down 70 lbs, and I am too frugal to buy new pants, when asked to hold my hands over my head, my pants dropped to my ankles. I was wearing colorful boxers thankfully. What's the most appropriate comment to make when your pants are around your ankles?

[Hope everyone is having a nice day]

Ok so today was my first day off the prescription Prilosec. Well the stupid grocery store did not label their Italian seasoned ground turkey 'spicey'...I took 3 bites and have spent most of the afternoon in the bathroom. I'm puking just saliva and gas. It's so weird, I've never thrown up a burp before! I ate the evilness at 1:30 and still sick. I wish this would go away :(

I called the doctors office to have them give me a refill since obviously my pouch isn't ready to be independent yet, but when I got to the pharmacy their power was out, so they probably haven't even gotten the fax :(

Funny I had watery diarrhea from the get go and that stopped only as few days ago (I am 10days post op) Had a pretty normal one today but nothing odd about it.

Ur story is too funny. It had to make u feel good that ur pants were too big tho!

      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.
