Thanks for mentioning the Premier Protein Water. I'm definitely going to buy some. I have my first Post op visit with my surgeon on Tuesday. I'm looking forward to see how much I have lost.

I have this and it is awesome for Protein count......I able to drink 2 a day at Day 5 Post Surgery.

Congratulations!! I had my surgery August 11. I’m on puréed foods. Invest in a Bariatric Cookbook (recommended by my Nutritionist). It has been so helpful. Has recipes for all stages . The hardest part is the fluids. But it’s a process so take it day by day.

You are the closest person to my August surgery twin on here that I know of! Mine was the 10th! Glad you are doing OK! We are gonna rock this!!

I had mine done on the 26th. Plus a hernia repair. I think the hernia repair made recovery harder. I'm 3 days out now and today was 500 times better than yesterday, so it must only get better. My husband had rny in December and has lost over 100 pounds, he asked me if I ever read the Interview with a Vampire books...I was like...yeah...??? And he says he thinks this process is similar to when they turn into vampires, it's uncomfortable at first and then you're almost superhuman. I thought that was funny. I'm down 9 pounds since surgery.

Anyone having back pain? My back hurts so bad, and I feel like I’m walking hunched over. Also, I’m 6 days post op and thinking about going back to work tomorrow. Any suggestions. I’m not getting paid for my time off.

Day 5 here.....my pain is in my shoulders and also walk a bit hunched over.......work might be too much for Day 7 ?

Did you guys have a hernia repair also? My nurse in the hospital said most patients who had a hernia repair complained about pain in their upper back. I had it pretty bad in my upper back for the first couple days.

Would love some recommendations for Stage 2 pureed foods. I bought a baby food maker but still feeling lost.
