What I Eat in a Day Almost Nine Weeks Post-Op from Gastric Bypass 

Great video! My team has me on two protein shakes a day and 1 ounces of protein + 2 tablespoons of veg or fruit per meal. They say my calories should be at 400 to 500 which is so unrealistic. I am going to hopefully be down to 1 protein shake and more food after 3 months. I really want to get my protein from food. I hope it gets better for me. You are doing great

We have that in common. I’ve been able to tolerate everything but not too fond of sweets anymore which is why I got tired of the protein shakes. I was drinking Premier Protein and although they all are sweet, I’d like to try Fairlife. “Listen to your body” You can say that again. I definitely have to pause after bites because that overly full feeling will definitely sneak up on me. I enjoy the diet cran-pineapple but prefer when the ice melts and dilutes it a bit.

This gave me a huge sigh of relief. The liquid diet pre-op phase is so difficult mentally right now and to know I will eventually get to eat “normal” food again makes me happy. ❤

We are a day apart in surgery dates, 11/22/22. I love watching your progress and doing this journey together with you. You are my virtual buddy!

Thank you, Kaki. Helpful as always!

What an awesome video! I’m so glad that I came across your channel to see more of what a patient with RNY experiences. I have been watching many videos, but the majority of them are for gastric sleeve. Helpful but not what I’m looking for hopefully tomorrow, 3/23/23 I’ll have my RNY, and off to my own health journey!

Great video

Love your channel. I’m having gastric bypass in March and your videos make me less nervous! ❤

Hello. New here. You were recommended by RU-vid. Enjoyed the video.

Thank you for showing us what you eat. It looks yummy. Two things. Dr. John Pilcher, Bariatric Surgeon has a RU-vid channel. He teaches that you don’t need to eat when you’re not hungry, even if you don’t hit your macros. Especially early on. However, he also says to follow your own Bariatric team’s orders. Second thing, your B12 would probably be fine for gastric sleeve patients, but for gastric bypass it won’t be absorbed because the area we absorb vitamin B12 is bypassed. (the duodenum). Costco and Amazon both sell a sublingual versions. You let them dissolve right under your tongue so it gets right into your bloodstream. Don’t worry, they taste good. Some patients use liquid drops underneath the tongue. I’m an RN who has studied a lot of nutrition. As for my own Bariatric journey, I’m still in the pre-op phase. The psychologist wants me to take a 4 week on-line class called “Understanding Anxiety” which starts next week. And they want some labs.

Congratulations you are eating much more I eat in a day. I am on week 9.

My Yorkie name is Rikku she is 13 years old !!!

You could add protein to broth as an option to get in more protein

Thank you so much for doing this for me! I would watch these daily if I could, so keep em coming if you enjoy making them. So Im a little confused. You showed that you take a B12 pill, but also state you take a nasal one. Why would you do both? Is it true that it cant be absorbed by your RNY tummy because of the bipass? If so, why do you take it pill form? lol

You shouldn't have to take omeprazole after RNY surgery. That would be for VSG patients. I'm 9 weeks post-op from RNY surgery and after my surgery, my Doctor told me I wouldn't need it anymore because there is no stomach acid. I haven't used it and I'm fine. (and I had it bad, I have Barret esophagus due to reflux and had this surgery not to lose weight but to get rid of the reflux damaging my esophagus)

You are so lucky you can eat raw veggies so soon. My program doesn’t allow raw veggies for the first 6 months.
