Yes, it will get easier. No one can really tell you how much weight you will lose. Statistically, people lose between 60 and 80% of their excess weight with RNY. But some lose even more than that.

Getting enough protein will help your incisions heal. It will also help you lose weight. Your weight may be slower than average if you don't get enough protein.

Have you tried adding unflavored protein powder to your mushy foods, if you can't tolerate the protein shakes?
