Thank you for your encouragement.  Do you happen to remember when you moved from the soft/pureed stage to normal food?  thanks kindly!

I am 5 years post op and I have never had any of those issues.  I did not even know about them until I found OH 2 years ago.  I too was getting bored of mushy food but I lost 130 pounds and I am maintaining that still!  You are still early out but you'll be fine.  Don't go looking for problems.  Keep your blood work regular and listen to your body.  Drink plenty and keep your protein up.  Good luck, healthy mind, healthy body!

Topic: Is it normal?

Hello;  I'm 11 days post op from a RNY.  I was anticipating all the challenges after surgery that i'd read about from other posters... vomiting, discomfort, dumping etc....  I haven't had any issues at all, except with being bored of eating mushy food :-).  Just wondering if there are any other RNYers out there that didn't have any issues at all..... I'm starting to wonder if it's working haha.  I guess I expected success to equal all the nightmares I'd read about.  I was so prepared for that.    Thanks kindly!!

After all the talk of cut backs in BC this fall, I decided it was time to take control over my health. I researched in October and booked for November. So glad I made the decision to get on with this. Yes, I 'self-paid' but it is worth it :)

Who is your Dr?

About three days if all is well , but all Dr's are diff. Mine did the leak test after forty eight hours , then if all was good you could talk about leaving but had to stay in Victoria for ten days
