My doctor says our taste preferences change after surgery.

Hi Everyone, I am almost 5 weeks out and I am having a hard time eating within 30 minutes. It usually takes me at the most 20 minutes to finish a meal. I don’t really have a problem with food feeling “stuck” and was just wondering if other had the same issues and any tips to help!

I just got my approval today. My surgery is scheduled for December 4th, and I’m having a bypass as well. I’d love to have a few bypass friends to go through it together!

So I'm almost done with the blended/pureed part of my diet progression back to solids. Thankfully, I really haven't needed to blend much of anything. As long as I stick to the foods I'm allowed to have during this 2wk phase, and chew to it's basically pureed before I swallow, I've had no issues. MUCH more palatable than actually blending everything up lol. Looking forward to the soft foods starting this weekend! I'll still be chewing to a pulp before swallowing (basically forever on that), but at least I can start to introduce more foods into my diet again. REALLY looking forward to some fish, been soooo long!

Get well! Hot tea, prayer, sleep! It's one of my fears, too.

Me too

Good luck to you both I’m 4 days out but my advice would be to bring some gas x, walk, sip, burp and repeat! Take it easy it gets easier everyday that pasts!

Movie? One of those wine (optional) and painting places?

I agree correct answers are important. That’s why she should ask her surgeon. And, various surgeons may have various answers. My surgeon told me the information so I shared it. And yes WATER is absorbed quickly and water not absorbed moves through the digestive track. Too much water may cause toxification-rare but possible. But we are not talking about pure water in the question. Egg drop soup has solid food particles and the “soup” is the liquid membrane of an egg. But I have no desire to mince words about it or compare your MBA to my PhD or elaborate on my 10 years of Air Force service. Not sure why you felt that necessary. I will follow my doctor’s instructions, you follow yours. I’m done here.
