    I had RNY almost 5 years ago. I've kept off 110 pounds, I've had a bit of a struggle lately but am getting back on track.

    I wanted to let you know everyone reacts differently to the surgery! I know people who could not handle even 8oz of liquid so soon after surgery, yet for myself I did not have that problem. Just take it slow and listen to your body.

    I realize you want to succeed and you will but your body needs to adjust from surgery. Do not deny yourself the nutrition you need! Sip the protein shakes slowly, wait 30 minutes, and then start sipping water. As stated above it is critical that you do not become dehydrated.

    You can do this!! You've come this far!! :flowerforyou:

    Well @prettiestpaul; How are we doing 3 weeks out? Everything can be overwhelming early on but it does settle down as you learn to listen to your body. Are you progressing through blended food to some solids yet? Are you getting your protein and fluids in? Let us know.
