I had my RNY on August 7th.  I was nauseated until about a week ago.  I'm just now able to get my protien drinks in.  I use a blender, 1 1/2 scoops (30 gm) of chocolate whey protien, one packet splenda, a little sugar free choc syrup, water and ice.  Makes it like a shake.  I have trouble with milk now. 

For the keytonics(sp) my dr recommended grape juice with no sugar added.  Worked great.  Bought one thing of Juicy Juice and drank it and felt 100% better. 

Good luck!!

I also had my RNY on 8/31/09. Amen on the "still pretty painful!". My doctor took me off of the real pain meds last week and told me to use Tylenol for discomfort. Most of the time the pain prevents me from sleeping, which can't be good for the recovery process.
I have also had terrible nausea, sometimes to the point of retching.  I talked to my dietician  about it at this Monday's appointment. She told me that it might be caused by the mucus in my stomach. She advised me to drink an ounce of warm liquid about a half hour before "eating". The warm liquid is supposed to break up the mucus so it doesn't act like a springboard & toss out whatever nutrition you're trying to put down there. I thought she was nuts, but was desperate enough to try. I drank some soothing mint tea (unsweetened), but she said that anything without sugar/caffeine/calories should be fine. Yesterday was the first day that everything stayed in my stomach without nausea.

Healing wishes to you

Hey fellow August'ers, i had my 4week post op yesterday, the doc said everything is going well, according to the office scales i had lost 26 lbs (at home 31lbs).  I was just wondering how everyone else 4 wk was.  Is mine average or too low, i have always failed at weightloss and i just want to make sure i am on the right track.

Such Great reasons!!!

You WILL lose again! I lost 15 pounds my first week after coming home from surgery.  Then only 2 more pounds the second week.  The surgeon was not concerned.  Then I had a 4 week follow up and during that time I had gained weight and lost a couple pounds.  All told, I went back the surgeon and had only lost  2 pounds in those 2 weeks.  They were still not concerned. 

Rest assured it was not until last week that my weight lost actually started again!  I did not change really anything, but make sure you are getting all of your protein in!
