I had ny gastric bypass 02/29/12 I just got out the hospital 3/05/12 long stay. I was throwing up so bad and couldn't even swallow my spit. I had developed a bowl obstruction. They were going to do surgery again bc I was almost off liquids for a week. Miraculously I woke up Sunday morning and could swallow. You have no idea how good that first ice chip tasted melting in my mouth. Prior to surgery I lost 29 lbs. I don't know my current weight now I go for my post op 3/13/12 1 day b4 my 23rd bday. I haven't ate anything since I left the hospital I just can't seem to make myself. I do eat a lot of ice though. I just started my vitamins and ulcer meds. I am going crazy I have to be on a straw diet for 6 weeks. Right now I'm suffering so bad. I see food everywhere, driving, on tv, in my dreams. I just cant seem to get away from it. I decided to get this surgery bc I had lap-band in 10/08 lost 116lbs then had my son 6/23/11 and gained it all back Plus. They removed my band bc my scar tissue caused my stomach to close. Now I'm on to this. Right now I'm regretting it bc I want all the bad foods I can't have. And all protein sucks. Lol. But hopefully its work it but how can I be on liquids for 6 weeks. This is torture. And they want me to consume 60 g of protein. I'm barely getting 20g. I need different options besides chicken broth I can't eat another bite. My stomach is fine on the outside but I'm sick of feeling bloated and gassy on the inside. I never read about this before my surgery.

thank you. I actually got 40g of protein down so far today. But I'm tired of the feeling of having gas all day. How much weight have you lost so far. My husband is thin and can eat whatever he wants so we went to burger king and I just stayed in the car while he went in and ate. He got back in the car smelling like a nice onion cheeseburger. I almost bit his fingers lol.

This exact thing happened to me. I dealt with it for 2 years. Standing just to get. Burping just to help the food pass. Whenever I bent over food fell right out. They said scar tissue underneath my bad was the issue. I finally got it removed. And had my surgery almost 2 weeks ago. I'll be on straw diet for 5 more weeks.
