7 Days Out...and I'm surprised...



Recommended Posts

Hello all, I've been stalking these forums for awhile but I really need some insight on my situation.

I had RNY gastric bypass 1 week ago and everything is not as I expected...

I had/have very little pain, surgeon said everything went perfect.

I can drink almost normally, literally chug Water almost with just the slightest pressure...

Everything I've eaten has gone down perfectly...not even a hint of trouble...

I have very little gas and I pooped easily/normally like on day 4.

And I feel like my hunger is still present but I do get full faster, but I thought I'd barely be able to take 3 bites and that isn't the case at all.

Soooooo I'm concerned. Shouldn't I be feeling more different?? I am losing weight which is good but I guess I thought Id wake up to a much more drastic healing process? I'm worried the surgeon didn't make the pouch small enough?? I read so many horror stories in preparation for this and now I'm just confused...

Any one with a similar experience??

Highest Recorded Weight: 373

Day-of Weight(2/22/18): 349

Current Weight: 338

Goal Weight: 160

I know only from reading on here, no personal knowledge yet. Most responder say liquids are easy, slip,right on through but when you get to purees and softs you'll truly feel the restriction and tightness of your newly redesigned innards. Keep on slow and steady with the liquids and the pureed etc will come. When that happens,let us know how you're getting along. You'll be a veteran to all the newbies and pre surgs. Cool --isn't it?

I'm almost 2 months out and not alot of restriction either. The only time I know when I've eaten too much is after I've eaten too much and the pains come. So you learn how much you can eat and then stop prior to becoming too full. I honestly felt the same way you feel, i thought after surgery I wouldn't be able to eat and initially for about a week I couldn't however seems like I can eat more and more as time goes on.

      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.
