AnnaValenka 32 Posted June 16, 2016 I was wondering if it's possible to know if a RNY was well performed using the images of the esophagram, I've been eating more than most people say they are doing at week 6 and this came to my mind. I'm uploading some images, I have the full study, if there is a doctor around who can help me with the interpretation would be great. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 19, 2016 How much more can you eat at 6 weeks? Also, there are so many variable that account for the different amounts people are eating. First and foremost is how the food is measured if at all. You have no idea if people are accurately measuring their food. Volume based measuring and scale based measuring rarely match. Then the moisture content of the food matters. You can I can have the exact same food in the same amount. If you reheat your food, you are going to extract more moisture from it so you will be able to eat less than I can because my food has more moisture content.

I made a post asking about the portions and I got replays saying it was too much, now I'm afraid that my pouch might be bigger than it should. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
OutsideMatchInside 10,166 Posted June 19, 2016 How long does it take you? If you are eating these amounts in 20 minutes, that is a lot. If you are taking an hour or so that is different. The one cup at lunch seems like a lot but the fluids seem right. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

The one cup at lunch seems like a lot but the fluids seem right. I cannot finish the Protein shakes and I really hate the taste, so I made some changes to compensate, I add Greek yogurt and powder milk, and I drink about 3/4 in the morning and the rest as snake before going to bed, lunch takes me 20 minutes if it's something like Soup and about 40 if it's dry food, I got worried because once I was having lentils soup and I realized it was more than a cup (maybe 1 1/2) , I didn't have any issue with it. On the beginning I was capable to just feel or know it was enough, never had the sneezing, hiccups or anything else, now I'm not sure if there is something that tells me to stop now.
