Hi there,

Before surgery, I would use IB profen when exercising or golfing and just wondering if we are allowed to use after RNY or what can we use?  My knees are killing me when walking

Thanks

Hi.  I'm just catching up on posts after vacation! 

i remember that pre-op 2 week boost diet, I lost 20 pounds and though "what a great start". Then 2 weeks after surgery, no weight loss, maybe even gained a pound or 2.  I talked to the nurse and she said that it's to be expected because our bodies couldn't possibly keep up with that kind of weight loss.  We go into starvation mode for awhile.  I think it was 6 or 8 weeks before i started feeling like I was making real progress on the weight loss front. 

When I was doing good at 800 calories a day, i had to increase it to 1000 to 1200 per day.  Scary but again, we cannot live on that for a long period of time or we go into starvation mode.  Now that i'm fairly steady in that range, they will probably bump it up again.  it take some time for our bodies to adjust and then weight loss begins again.
