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.
