3 weeks post-op
Hi,
It has been three weeks and one day since my RNY. I have has a couple of minor complications cellulites infection in one of my incisions and I was hospitalized over night last weekend due to sever pain they did a cat scan and every thing came back normal thedoctor said that me taking milk of magnesia may have caused the pain once I moved my bowels I was much better. I am getting 50-60 grams of protein a day about 48 oz of fluid I can’t imagine getting 64oz a day plus 80 grams protein a day. I don’t care if I eat at all I do because I have to and it seems like my taste buds are gone nothing taste good or bad is this normal?

Sounds pretty normal to me!
I got reprimanded at my 4 week visit for not eating enough. You just have to keep trying, and eventually it will get easier. You will make your way up to the 64 oz of water and 80 grams of protein, it's just something you work on til you get it. I now drink WAY more than 100 oz of liquid a day, so you will make it.
Your tastebuds will also change/improve. Your body is going through a lot right now, and you may even have a metallic taste in your mouth for a while. It WILL go away!
Keep up the good work!
