Hi all!

I'm here to introduce myself!
Had RNY on March 31st and have already lost 24 pounds!

My daughter just suggested this website and it's already very helpful!
Keep the tips coming, especially about being thirsty! :P

Have a great day!

Since you offered - I'm having a lot of trouble keeping anything other than soup from coming back up.  Just about everything makes me nauseous.  Today is four weeks and I'm still basically on liquids.  How is it for you?  Is this normal at all?

Congrats on your surgery. I had my RNY on Mar 2. It has been a wild ride so far. I am 53 pounds down. Keep us updated on your progress.

Wow!  You're doing great!  Let me ask-did you have any problems going to solids?  I'm at four weeks now and solids make me nauseous.  Usually they come back shortly after eating.  I can just tolerate soups and jello.  Also, some things taste strange these days.  I used to LOVE coffee and now it just doesn't taste so good.  Any suggestions? ideas?

Thanx!
Linda

At 4 weeks out I was still eating soft foods. I cannot tolerate coffee anymore although I love it.  Don't push and try to eat solids if you can't. It takes time for your new tummy to adjust. If something doesn't sit well wait at least 2 weeks before you try it again. It does get easier, I promise.

I am pretty new here too.  My surgery was March 20th.

My surgery was March 31.  Have lost 29.7 pounds
My daughter also signed me up - thank G-d  our kids know how to use computers. Keep up the good work!

Welcome! I was told to sip 1 ounce of protein liquid or water every 15 minutes. That helped with the thirst. After a week, I was just carrying around a water bottle and sipping it constantly.
