Funny, I had more gas issues pre surgery than post (almost one month out). I had R N Y and I'm on fork friendly, still afraid to work in carbs so when I do maybe I'll be chasing my wife out of the room! Great topic, laughed my way through.

Thank you all for the great posts and ideas, I'm impressed with how quickly you all are losing! I'm hopeful that I can keep up, I'm watching my input and getting between 60 & 100 minutes of activity everyday!! Any other great ideas are always apprecaited, my post surgical isn't until 1/6...

I'm moving off the pureed and liquid phase and onto fork friendly foods. I know that I still need the 60-80 grams of protein, and that I should eat protein first. Also staying away from sugar and processed carbs, what are some carbs that are ok to eat? Potato's? Veggies? 2-weeks post op and...

Been feeling bad since breakfast this AM, like there was an obstruction in the pouch (roux y surgery). I'm 5 days post op. Haven't been able to eat or drink since, finally been able to get or to come back up.....I hope. Any chance I damaged something? I'm afraid to eat or drink anything at...

Yes, shakes and puréed food. Great comfort in the Premiere Protein shake. Got the menu and the manual, just hope I'm following correctly.

Glad I found this sight because I'm not sure what comes next (other than what the Dr. told me). I had Roux & Y on 12/12/13, got out of the hospital on 12/14. Trying to relax for the next week at home although being somewhat type A and a workaholic that is difficult. Trying to follow the...

I just had surgery and I have high expectations as I lead an active lifestyle. A bit frustrated that I gained weight in the hospital although had little to ear, guessing it is gas and bloating. First day home and already logged 60 min walking on treadmill. Wondering what others experiences...
