I had my RNY on Thursday morning & was discharged from the hospital today. So far, so good. I didn't experience any gas pain at all, primarily just intense ab muscle pain...but only when I move. It's definitely gotten much better since Thursday afternoon and now broadly feels like I did way too many sit ups.

I didn't have any last minute second thoughts and have zero regrets.

Now the real work starts.

How's it going? Are you still feeling good?

[ShooterInTheSix 78]

Tired but feeling good. I do still feel a little achy in my abs but it continues to improve daily.

I had a Zoom call with a nurse this morning and she was happy with my healing progress and with what I've been eating (averaging 80-85g of Protein every day).

My scale this morning said I'm down 11 lbs since surgery day last Thursday and now 31 lbs since the beginning of my two weeks of pro-op liquid diet at the end of last month.

My surgery is on the 29th. I'm on day 4/10 of my liquid diet and I'm struggling not to cheat and have a slice of turkey, or the egg whites of a boiled egg.

I just had my surgery on the 20th. I was on the liquid diet for two weeks and it is hard. I am not going to lie, but I did take a bite of food now and again in the beginning. I found later that if I used some type of seasoning that replicated some food tastes, then it helped. I used bacon seasoning, chicken seasoning, and other gourmet seasonings I could find.

Hi all! I’ve got my surgery this upcoming Tuesday and I’m struggling with making a schedule for my daily Vitamins. Feeling very overwhelmed. Any suggestions or templates any one can provide?

Hello everyone I was just sleeved 9/19/23. Currently in the liquid diet stage. I am drinking a Protein Shake. And really not getting enough liquids so I’m working on that, but what can we have? broth, sf Jello, Water, but I see some people saying they are eating pudding and yogurt? Is that allowed?

It really depends on what your doctor says. I had my surgery on the 20th and right now I am still in the clear liquid stage (no shakes yet). I sip a drink every 10-15 minutes. However, this week, I can begin to add pudding and yogurt. Each doctor's recommendations are different as I have seen others start right way with some pureed foods.

My program is;

1.Clear fluids (1–2 days while in hospital)

2.Full fluids (2 weeks)

3.Pureed diet (2–4 weeks)

4.Soft diet (2–4 weeks)

5.Regular diet

Full fluids after the hospital stay are defined as;

Blended broth/cream-based soups (no chunks)

Cooked Cereal, thinned with milk (e.g. cream of wheat)

Milk or alternatives (e.g. soy, almond, rice milk)

Low-fat, sugar-free pudding

Vegetable juice

Low-fat, sugar-free yogurt

Protein shakes/powder

70-100g protein daily

Good morning everyone, getting ready to head into the hospital for my surgery. See you on the losers side

I had the sleeve done exactly a week ago 9/18/23 lost about 12lb. Having the gas pain or pressure in the abdomen is horrible. I don’t know how to get rid of it. But from what I read in articles that’s normal my body is going thru a big change.
