Hello all,

I am new to the form. I just had RNY on March 31,2016. At first I felt like I could run a marathon now I have developed this sick feeling to my stomach. I don't feel like eating and Water sometimes is hard to get down. I'm 3 weeks out can anyone give me some kind of insight on how they felt around this time and what are some things to help along the progress.

I'm from Memphis and I had Dr. Wagner

I have switch to the Multivitamin patch from this website store because I have taking pills, I hate the taste of them. Although, I am at the "3 week stall" I have lost 40 lbs since I first started the program. He is amazing. Keep me updated.

So glad you are doing better and congrats! I didn't have the bypass but I can tell you with the sleeve after two hours of being out running errands I was completely exhausted. I was glad that I took the month off as it was needed. The third week I had extremely soft scramble egg for Breakfast and savored every bite that I could eat. I wish you the best!

I only took 2 weeks, which I wish I would've took the entire 4 weeks they offered me but I thought I was going to be up and run. With no problems. I was wrong. Great you are doing good. My new pouch and eggs do not get alone... Lol... What are some sample food ideas you eat?

Now since I am 4 months post-op I eat fat free cottage cheese, yogurt, grilled or baked salmon/chicken, soft veggies, drink Premier and nectar Protein drinks, etc. It is a variety but still no carbs or fried foods.

During the earlier stages I would eat refried Beans from Taco Bell and Wendy's chili and slowly incoroporated different soft foods to get an idea of how my stomach would handle it. So far I have lost 40 lbs and 10 lbs from goal. I was also a low BMI as well. I do not keep track of my foods but I do read labels to verify sugar and carb contents.

I am only 3 weeks out and having a hard time with what food to eat.. He has me on soft food so I eat mashed potatoes, cheese rolled in ham (chewed well), sugar free applesauce, sugar free pudding, chili from Wendy's, veggie Soup, pretty much the same thing over and over. I'm ready for something different.. I tried baked chicken breast and of course it came back up.

It does get boring but your stomach will eventually settle and you will be able to expand your food base. Soft scrambled eggs and boiled eggs may not be a bad idea to add to your selctions, yogurt, grits, oatmeal, etc.

      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.
