Introduction

Hi everyone, I've been posting on my local board (Oregon) and just found this one! I'm so excited! I had lap RNY on April 4, and have had a very smooth recovery. I had started to add a lot of new foods starting last week, and nearly every day something was getting stuck and making me vomit. I decided today to go back to purees and soft foods and to go a lot more slowly. I feel better already. I look forward to this forum-we are all in the same boat and I'm sure I'll learn from all of you! Lisa

We had surgery the same day. I am still on pureed foods/full liquids. My surgeon is taking it very slow. I have had complications from surgery and I still have pain........sometimes a lot of it. My biggest problem now is gas pains. I am up every 2 hours trying to rid my tummy of gas. It is really annoying. Anyway.welcome to the board and we will all learn together

shar I was having gas problems well still am so I take gas x 4 times a day either with my protein or before I eat anything! It helps! Dr Jones told me to try it and they are very small pills!! Also I was told to try peppermint tea. I am going to buy some next time I go to the store.

Me too I had my RNY on 4-4 also...I have not had any troubles with things getting stuck yet....You are doing what I would do if I did though...maybe everything is still too swollen to get through right now...just take it easy and talk to you soon.

Look at all us fine women who had surgery on the same day I also am an April 4th girl. I have not found anything yet that I have trouble eating. Thank God for that. I am on a soft diet right now and introducing some regular foods. I am suppose to be on a regular, low fat, low sugar diet by the time I go back to see my Dr on May 16th. Welcome to our family Cindy

Thanks everyone! Yeah, I think I got ****y because everything was going so well. I've definitely learned my lesson and will take things much more slowly now.

I'm another April 4th girl! I'm still on pureed food. Nothing has made me sick, but now I'm a little nervous about when I start solids. I still have another week or so before I can. Diane
