being hungry is satisfied by eating very little. She does need to stay with the liquids and soft foods until moved to regular food and she will only be able to eat small amounts. This is not a surgery to CURE obesity, it will change how much she can eat and it us up to her to eat the right things!

My opinion,you need a Cat Scan of your abdomen,maybe a gauze or instrument left behind. Probably not but must be ruled out. That pain is not normal.

Dumping from what? You did not eat anything wrong from what I can tell.

It should say I have only lost 20 lbs and had the surgery Dec 2012

Wow I have only lost about 20 pounds ans ahead surgery in Dec 2012

No I did not have that. What did your doc say about the sensation of pulling? Are you able to eat and drink?

HI, weight does not "FALL OFF" it comes off, some slowly and some fast. I have not lost in a week but I am told i will come off. This surgery is NOT THE EASY way out for sure!!! Are you eating your protein at the amounts your program say you should? Are you drinking your water/fluids...

I am gettting more sure I did the right thing, I had a hard time getting in the Protein and Fluids, but seem to be doing better. I have not lost any weight for about a week so not sure what that is about since in total if I am eating 400 calories a day. I have a friend who had it done last...

The recipe I got was by googling Wendy's Chili recipe and there were a few but the one I used was the one that said it was from his brother or something like that who worked there. VERY good and we did use ground Turkey. Let me know if you cannot find it but you will I think.

I do not think you have done permanent damage to your pouch. I think the real problem with soda pop is that it can give you gas pains and make you feel very fulll so you do not eat or drink what you should. Have you talked to your doctor about your not lossing weight?

I weigh every day, some times I lose, sometimes stay the same and today gained almost pound, go figure. I attribute that to constipation :) but who knows.

when they stretch the opening it is nt going to be a huge opening believe me. You still have to take 30 or so minutes to eat a meal and chew everything to consistency of apple sauce, it is just that yours is way too small so nothing is getting through immediately even fluids are probably...

There are support groups at Faulkner Hospital and Brigham and Womens Hospital. Up til this month, it was a support group where people would come together and talk about problems and trimphs and really got a lot done and help for everyone. Faulkner is held on 3rd Wednesday and Brigham is held...

from what I have read, soda pop has nothing to do with no weight loss but has to do with stomach filling with gas and can stretch your pouch. Why are you drinking soda pop? What are you eating, weighing and measuring your food so you can see where things are not going well. Some talk about...

So for those of us that cannot get in enough fluids, we lose that much slower? SUCKS, I am not getting in a pint a day(16.9 oz) so that would answer why I lose less than a pound a day or even gain a little? 6 weeks out and have really lost about 15 pounds. Seems so little for going through...

OH constipation/empaction is not fun!!! It is the foods we are eating for now that cause it. Glycerin suppositories help if there is a real big problem of not being able to expel the waste at all. Wonder what people use for stool softeners that the pill is small enough to take with Gastric...

6 weeks later and am just getting some energy back. I was forced to load wood in a wheelbarrel and then put in garage for a few days fires. I would have to sit down on the bumper to get my bearings again and then push on. Last few days, I feel pretty well, drive etc. Did some target practice...

I am glad to be able to eat more than one or two pieces of something and be so full that I cannot eat or drink for hours. Last few days it is getting better, can eat more and drinking a little more and feeling thirsty which I had not felt since day of surgery. So I am getting better, I think I...

You guys seem to be doing well, I have lost about 12 pouns since surgery and since doing a week pre op protein drinks etc I have lost 17 pounds. Somedays this week, I gained a pound but do not know how, at most have had 300 calories and no much protein and water. CANNOT GET IT IN without...

NO, I am 5 weeks out with RNY and NO cramps except when constipated. I would speak to your doc immediately, maybe you have adhesions or slight obstruction.
