- Just curious what everyone is doing and how their particular surgeon/center progresses your diet after surgery. Mine looks like this:Pre-op 10 day full liquid diet 2-4 weeks post-op soft protein4 weeks-4months soft including proteins yet and...
- I spent 7 hours in the ED yesterday. I had worked a couple 12 hours shifts and had little time to eat and literally ran all night long. Saturday afternoon I woke up and had some pain between my shoulder blades. I chucked this off to sleeping...
- I had an interesting conversation with my best friend tonight. She has been supportive of my surgery. We don't live close to each other anymore so speak at least weekly. She is always curious about each step and diet progression in my journey. I...
- I am 3 weeks out so I can't have any of this yet. But what do some of you that are farther out use? How about triscuits, whole wheat lo carb bread, whole wheat pasta? I like my tuna salad but miss a piece of bread or something to eat it on. I...
- Sigh.....I am trying not to be dispappointed, disgusted etc. I am 2 weeks post-op and have only lost 1# this past week. Is this normal? I remember a thread a while back similar to this but can't find it. Please tell me this is normal and that...
- Do any of you have this symptom post-op? I am 13 days post-op and belch a lot. Even after drinking water. Is it just because of swelling? This isn't just a dainty burp either it 's a loud uncivilized belch. If this is normal please tell me it...
- I was advanced to a soft protein diet. I get to chew again!!! The first thing I made was a scrambled egg, it was delicious and thankfully went down well. What is your favorite go-to protein? I am looking forward to trying some refried beans...
- If you are the least bit nauseous before discharge and your doctor doesn't include this in your discharge meds, ask for it. I suffered without it for 2 days, which was stupid. I got some yesterday and it has helped tremendously. I think today I...
- Anyone else have this as a symptom after surgery? I am post-op day 4 and was bragging about no nausea immediately after surgery because I always get so sick from anesthesia. But from day 2 til now I begged for zofran and have been keeping my fluid...
- Surgery today went well. Very little pain. Not using my PCA at all. The best part was no nausea since I begged the anes to throw all anti -nausea meds at me. Scop patch and decadron did the trick. Praying for a leak free gastrograffin study...
- Day 8 of the liquid diet and I wasn't prepared for this lack of sensation from chewing. I have started chewing gum every so often but can't do that after surgery. I know there probably isn't anything else I can do about it except look forward to...
- I know this has been discussed ad nauseum in the past but what are your favorite liquids and protein for someone like me on the pre-surgery liquid and also for the liquid phase after surgery. I think I've tried all the powders and potions and they...
- I have a date with the surgeon July 15th, as typical for this journey I could have had surgery as early as June 22, but dh will be out of town. I pray the time flies by quickly now. I should have had surgery months ago but as some of you know,...
- That's how long it took for me today to FINALLY get an appointment with the surgeon. I have been in tears today and now am exhilarated! To make a very long story short. I have been going through this process for RNY surgery for over 3 years. ...
- I will be completing my 6th month with my PCM to qualify for surgery this coming Monday. I will then be able to schedule an appt with the surgeon. I have jumped through all the necessary hoops except for this last PCM visit. My son will be...
