2 week post op RNY update



Recommended Posts

So, today is my 2 weeks post op. I am feeling absolutely amazing! I had a little pain and discomfort for about the 1st three days, but on day four i was even sleeping on my side and stomach. I have lost 25 lbs so far....and can kind of tell in my shirts. Ill probably have to lose about 50 before i can really tell since i was so heavy to begin with.

I am concerned that i am able to eat too much. At first was was literally only able to eat two spoons of broth. But as i progressed to soft foods, i have found that eating slowly, i am able to eat about 1/2 to 1 full cup of food before i can tell that i am full. My surgeon said that its because my stomach and brain arnt communicating yet and that i need to stop at 1.2 cup. i think i really need to work on that because one of the reason i got so big was because i didn't want to stop until i was full. I am doing great on my Water and Protein and vits. I do get hiccups every time i eat. ( The dr said that this was my sign that i have had enough or even too much.)

How is everyone else doing on week 2 post op? what is your diet? I can pretty much eat anything as long as i chew it up very very well. ( Other than breads, pastas...pastries...ect) in a moment of weakness...i tried a small bite of noodles ( threw it up) , tried 4 chips ( threw them up) ...i know i need to be stronger and am working on it for sure. Since those episodes, i haven't even WANTED those things. Honestly, i dont really have any other cravings yet....which is a good thing!

Oh my gosh I'm with you! I'm still on week one, but hopefully progressing to week two and soft foods soon! But I am so bad! I've bit some watermelon chewed it up really well, and then spit it out. No nausea or vomiting, just general discomfort :/

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
