New way of thinking!!
Feb 09, 2011
I have been thinking about food all day....oh,not in the way I used to think about food, but the way I should have been thinking about food all along. I used to eat breakfast and then think about what I was going to have for lunch and even dinner, giving no thought to the nutritional content such as calories, fat, and protein. Now, I still do not have any appetite and am on clear liquids but I have been thinking of different ways to get my required protein in once I am able to progress to full liquids, pureed and so forth. I am actually looking at food labels, something I rarely did before RNY. I have purchased several products from a website called bariatric choice and am ready to give those a try. I am having no problem getting my protein in currently, especially since I am drinking Isopure (40grams of protein) and I have protein shots that have 26 grams of protein and 42 grams of protein. I can finally say I am not obsessed with food like I was before RNY!! OH HAPPY DAY!

Wow!! I weighed today and I am down 16 pounds since surgery on Feb. 3rd. Now, 13 pounds was fluid I had on me after surgery but I am still down 16 pounds....I have NEVER lost that much in such little time before....I hope this pace keeps up. I am going to try to walk on the treadmill a little today...hope that goes well and I don't tire to easily.

Is this common?
Feb 05, 2011
I am now 3 days post-op and still swollen. I am trying to drink my 30 ml's every 15 minutes...no appetite..but still drinking because I have to, and trying to pass gas. I weighed more the day I came home then I did the day of surgery...is this all common? Still having some pain, but walking, indoors of course, because it is so cold outside. Any help would be greatly appreciated!!

10 days and counting!!
Jan 24, 2011
I am 10 days away from a life changing event and I am sooo excited. My surgery is on Feb 3rd. I have already started making sure I have enough protein and get enough fluids. The only challenging thing I find right now is getting in enough fluids...especially at work. I am a nurse that works in a hospital, and finding it difficult to find time to drink. Any suggestions??

CPAP
Jan 13, 2011
I am having trouble wearing my cpap and wondered if anyone else is having the same problem. The mask I have is so irritating to me that I end up taking it off in the middle of the night. I have the one that just covers my nose and it makes my face hurt. I have tried loosening the straps on top, and bottom. I have tried loosening the straps on top and tightening the straps on the bottom, but to my avail, nothing has helped. I wonder if the nasal pillows would be better. Any suggestions???
