Roux en Y and the NutriBullet?



Recommended Posts

Hello, I am about 10 years post roux en y and just bought a nutribullet rx. I am wondering if this is a good idea for me to use? Concerned about whether I can absorb the nutrients this way and also, if I should be eating more solid food like apples, etc. to get my stomach busy working and the whole metabolism jump started. Any advice? Anyone else using it? Thank you in advance....

I;m not using it but what a good question. My NUT seemed fine with smoothies so I guess it might be ok but you should check with a NUT to be sure. Unless someone else on here seems to know the answer.

I use a Ninja when I have a Protein drink--I always put ice in it to make it more like a frappaccino!!

I just got a nutri-bullet for Christmas and have been experimenting with recipes of veggies and fruit. My NUT seems to think it is good for me and has not said anything about not using it. Many folks nowadays who are pre-op are doing liquid fasts such as in a liver detox and are making healthful shakes. I plan to use it anyway. i have gained 100 pounds since my RNY 14 years ago-- mostly due to having had my thyroid out- which is the center for metabolism. Just recently got scoped and the doc says my pouch holds 10-12 oz of food now-- I would like it to be made smaller--however i think they will put me on a liquid diet first. So with the nutri bullet I am putting in a flavorless Protein powder to help with the Protein issues.

      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.
