I'm almost 2 weeks post-op and found that if you mix Silk Unsweetened Almond Milk with the Designer Whey Vanilla Almond protein powder, it's almost like an almond paste cookie!!  Very yummy!!  The almond milk is also good with any of the chocolate powders.  It feels like a treat!

Topic: Food suggestions ?
Hi,
I had RNY on Monday and was released Wednesday.  I was on clear liquids Sunday - Wednesday and can move onto very thin pureed foods.  What has worked best for you to get in the protein?

When did the bloated feeling go away?

Hello fellow 12.20 patient ! 

I am wondering how you are doing?  My RNY was Monday afternoon.  I came home Wednesday late afternoon.  I was on clear liquids for Sunday - Wednesday and today introduced pureed things ~ Greek yoghurt and blended lentil soup with chicken.  It was hard to ingest enough over several hours + the liquids.

I am trying to wean off the meds and gain an appetite so i can make sure to get in the protein...  I am still bloated and gassy and hoping the walkingis ridding my body fo the excess CO2.  I also had my gall bladder out at the same time.

Any tricks?  You feeling well?
