Day 4 Post Op Need Your Advice on the Nitty Gritty Please?



Recommended Posts

Hey RNY buddies!!!!! Thanks for taking the time to answer my questions! Please tell me...after I drink my shake I get a gritty feeling in the back of my throat...its not sore...it feels like solid pieces of grit... its weird....what gives? Is this normal? This is even if I drink slowly and don't overdo it (I think) Also, when do the dizzies get better? When does the hairy tongue go away? And what is best liquid diet thing to blend unflavored Protein Powder in please? I tried cream of chicken Soup and it tasted horrible! Thanks in advance :)

Hi you might want to check with your doctor about the gritty thing after your Protein shake, are you mixing the Protein with enough Water or milk? I heard the bulliet blender is excellent, myself I but the premix Protein shakes, at sams club, i drink premiere Protein Shakes because when I bought the mix no matter what I did it was gritty. In regards to the tongue why dont you purchase biotein spray or their toothpaste this should help you. Congrats on your choice to being healthy and welcome to the losers bench.

I had that too! I'm going into day 5 and its not an issue anymore. I stopped taking narcotics for pain. Only Tylenol. Its helped me with the dizziness and loopy feeling.

Today I just started my 2 weeks liquid diet and my surgery is April 23rd. Question? My friend had bypass done in February and she told me that was ate hard boiled egg whites (no yolk) throughout the 2 week liquid diet. She said her surgery was fine and the doctor said everything looked good. Has anyone else tried egg whites or other alternatives?

My surgeon said it was dehydration. That your tongue is one of the first signs of dehydration. When I was able I upped my Water intake and it went away...now when I don't pay as close attention and get behind on my water I get the same thing. Good luck guys!

I was told that waking up with a gunkie mouth was from burnt calories. So I always sort of Celebrate that feeling and brush my teeth etc right away.

      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.
