Topic: Had RNY on July 20!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I am so excited about this new adventure - I had my laproscopic surgery done on an out patient basis and only had some discomfort (never any pain) that day and the next one.  I hope everyone else has had any easy time on recovery like I have.  I'm in Tampa and love my surgeon Dr Alfredo Fernandez.  Fit and fab............here I come!

Different Doctors I guess have different ways of doing things.  I dont have to puree anything I went from 1st week of protein drinks, 2nd week I try soft foods such as scrambled egg, cottage cheese, tuna salad, part skim mozzarella cheese.  Next week I get to attempt chili and baked chicken, and lunch meat. 

I have been able to handle the egg and cottage cheese I have to introduce something each day to see what I can handle so tomorrow I think tuna salad is next.

I dont have any icky feeling when I eat just pain in my stomach and back.

You are so lucky to be able to eat eggs and tuna. I was just moved to the pureed stage and am only allowed egg salad...no scrambled or fried etc. it will be another 2 weeks before I can try tuna, salmon, chicken salad. What foods have you introduced so far? How did your pouch handle them?

I no longer have pain, but eating and drinking always make me feel icky, not nauseous, just...icky.

Hello everyone,

I am completely new to the site but had surgery 7/15/10.....I am still having belly pain but hey its major surgery right?  My doctors already have me trying 2 new foods per day so I am a very happy person.  I couldnt believe how good an egg tasted this morning for breakfast, I am going to try tuna for dinner and see how that goes.

Its amazing how I liked Carnation instant breakfast before surgery but now it makes me sick thinking of having to drink so much of it.

I am really struggling with protein powder now too! It is all of my protein powders today! I can't even think about it with out feeling sick! Tomorrow is a fresh start tho.

I am super thirsty- but can only sip sip sip. Other wise I am taking my vitamins.
 
Feeling pretty good. I went to a bridal shower on Saturday, didn't eat a thing. Sunday went to a friends house having a BBQ and didn't eat a thing. Still trying to adjust to this new me no loitering around the food and eating everything or anything I want!

Ready to bring on the beautiful!

*includes 23 lbs lost prior to surgery, but not the water weight in hospital.

All I keep thinking about is real food. I don't want another protein shake. I keep trying to tell myself, I can have pureed foods in a week, but that seems like such a long time from now.

Topic: RE: Protein
I'm having difficulty getting my protein in. This is my first day having a protein shake. The first one was ok, but the last one I attempted tasted terrible. I threw it out after the 2nd sip. So I've only had 23g of protein today. I'll try to do better tomorrow.

 Funny, I'm having a harder time with the food. I know I am developing an aversion to it and I just keep thinking just wait until you can eat real food. But I know I still need to be eating something...I'm pretty much sticking to my protein drink and getting as much water after that, that I can. I'm afraid I'm dehydrated a least a little...still peeing but not as frequently and my lips are horrible! Not sure what other signs there are...gonna go look it up now.

So, what are you getting in/ down?
