Hello,
I am new here. I had RNY gastric bypass on June 28th - coming up on 8 weeks post-op. I went in at 212 and have been at 195 since July 14th. I understand about the stall but this has become very depressing. What I have noticed in the last week as I have been adding solid food (proteins) I feel no restriction. I am chewing well and getting my fluids, protein and taking my vitamin, etc. (following the plan) but I literally feel nothing. I find I am really hungry so I have been upping the amount of chicken, steak, cottage cheese, etc. and still nothing. I am just so hungry- how can this be possible? My stomach grumbles- is this normal? The chicken has been pounded thin then dipped in egg and sautéed with a little ghee spray in a nonstick pan- I then add a little chicken broth and lemon juice. The steak is prepared with tender tip cut up small and braised in my homemade red gravy, The only issue I had was overwhelming nausea for a few weeks after surgery and headaches that my surgeon refused to script me zofran to help me. Luckily I had a friend that shared- cleared up the issue within a few weeks. I also have been getting a Myers bag- IV by a private company which has been great. I am just very worried about no weight loss and my stomach is still bloated and distended. I also just don't feel good. Not in pain, but just really beginning to regret I had this surgery. And I have a therapist too. Anyone experiencing this?
