Hello Yes NG tubes are mostly done awake. I know they try having me swallow the tube but I couldn't handle it. I get a lot of anxiety and I think I got so nervous I pulled it out as soon as they had me try to swallow Water. I had obstruction so I needed surgury and not sure how they inserted it on me but when I woke up, I had a tube in my nose. What is the major reason for those tubes? I know stuff was coming out of my stomach.

Hello. Yes as time goes by you will be able to eat a little more. I am a year post op and I notice also that I been wanting to eat more than before. Just remember to eat slowly and once your body gives you signal that you are getting or are full, stop eating or you will vomit. I have had many issues from day 1 and trust me I don't not want any an anyond owing through what I been through. You will be ok. Eat good foods and eat in mallet frequent meals if need to. Congratulations on your weight loss and keep up the good work. People will have up and downs with weight loss but if you eating right and exercising will help. That is something I have to do more. Best of luck.

Hello. I am a year post op and it will get better. I am able to drink more Water than sips. What I do find easier is to drink from a Poland spring sip bottle but never use a straw. Don't worry it will get easier.

You very welcome. I have the nutra bullet and ninja blender. I use frozen organic fruits that costco , Trader Joe's and most supermarket carry. I also buy fresh organic fruits and vegetables. There is a list in WebMD that shows you which fruits and vegetables that should be bought organic. Let me know if you want me ok google it and send to you. Of course you don't have to buy organic if you don't wish to but that is a suggestion. Bed bath and Beyond also sells juicer and you can use the 20% coupons they offer and can even use expire one. I always use them. ?. Any questions please ask. ?.

Hi. Hope you feeling better. I want you to please take this to heart! Please stick with the foods that you can only have. Follow your doctors instructions and food list. It is very very dangerous to eat the wrong foods. If you have a complication you can end up having major surgury again. I know it may not be easy at times but please be very careful. Dont stress to much. Just take it slowly and remember this is a process. You will be okay. Wish you the best. ???

You very welcome. Any questions please ask. Everything will be ok. Remember this is a journey and everything will fall into place. I went through so much and still have my days but you will feel healthier and be so much happier. ?

Hello yes having cold feet is normal and also feeling cold is part of it. I was told by surgeon that when your body is losing a lot of weight or weight , being cold is normal and may go after some time. I always put on socks. Hope all is well.

Hello yes juicing is great and I highly recommend it. Adding protein is also very important. I use with fruits and vegetables and also with fruits only but adding protein is important. I hope it works out for you. Juicing has many beneficial vitamins and nutrients.

Have they down a gi study to see if you have a blockage?

Do you vomit when you eat food a lot? That happen to Me and I had two bowel obstruction and had to have surgury both times not including the bypass. The tube doesn't hurt but ot feels uncomfortable because they make you drink Water while you are swallowing and as you swallow the tube is going down with the help of Wk surgeon or doctor. Couldn't tolerate it so when they did ny surguey they did it while I was under anesthesia but it doesn't hurt it feels uncomfortable like you have something in our nose but it's no pain.

Hell so sorry you having a hard time. I had 3 major surgury from December 16, 2014 up until November 2016 and they had to put a NG tube in my nose to flush things out and I was in IV at home for 6 month in a half everyday for 12 hours. I still have issue keeping food down and have lost a tremendous amount of weight. Have you been eating small portion ? Have you been drinking Protein shake? It takes forever for me rock finish but try to keep drinking little by little. I saw a nutritionist. Let me know if you need any suggestions or questions. Hang in there.

Hello. Thank you for the information. I will look into it.

Hello everyone I hope everyone is doing great. I have a huge situation. I keep losing weight. I was 114 and now 104 and saw a nutritionist and gastroenterologist. They are concern that I may keep losing weight and may end up in a serious health problem. I do not want to go back on iv TPN. The surgeon said it had to come off since I was on it for 6 month. I need more calories but I feel so full even though I am so hungry at times. It is so hard to eat and constant drink all day long. Any suggestions??? I am very worried. I am so weak and tired. Tomorrow I have a appointment with my surgeon and will talk to him about what is going on. The nutritionist stated I need 1500 calories a day to maintain my weight. She said just taking in Protein is not enough. She said calories are important. I do not know what to do! I feel like I a wasting away. I want to maintain a healthy weight not be too too thin or underweight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you. I have my days when I do vomit but I need to learn and remember that I can only eat a small amount.

Hello James. I do have a water infuse bottle. Amazon has them and they have good ones. I put lemon in my water or strawberry for flavor. I am also able to tolerate ice cold water than room temperature. Give it a try. ????????

Hello everyone. Thank you all for your reply and advice. I really appreciate it. *Update* so I saw the surgeon yesterday. He told me that the nutritionist cannot expect me to consume 1500 calories a day with the size of stomach I have. He said 1500 calories is for a normal person and not someone who had bypass especially with me having 3 operations which has made it smaller. He said to have more frequent meals, and eat as much as I can healthy foods and protein and as long as I am eating smaller meals and taking my vitamins he recommended, that I will be ok. He said the nutritionist is concern that I may go under weight but he said that a person weight loss will stop at a certain level and that I will not waste away and should not go under weight. He said my eyes and my skin color looks good even though I had makeup. Lol . He said I will be ok and he will send me for blood with to make sure everything is ok and he will see me soon to make sure everything is going well. I do feel somewhat relief!

Hello In the morning I make a protein shake, or have a small half of English muffin with egg and try to have the other half a little bit afterwards if I don't vomit it. There are days I can have eggs and there are days I can't. I try to have cheese , crackers, fruits and yogurt. I have chicken soup at times and veg here and there but I feel too full.

Hello. Please don't get discourage. Try calling your insurance company and let hem know that you need home health care for at least a week. Most insurance provide these services. I work in a hospital and before getting discharge you can let the nurse know you need help at home. Try this first. What state and town do you live in ?

Hello has anyone had brick oven vegetable pizza? Is that ok to eat once in a while? I been craving brick thin oven pizza but not to sure if I should have a small slice or not. Please advice. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi From what I read and the surgeon has told me as well as nutritionist, eating high protein food and good healthy vegetables will keep you feeling fuller than eating unhealthy foods or fatty foods. Also drinking water is important. I was told by the surgeon to eat more freguenf meals and drink in between to make sure having enough protein.

Hello I would only follow the doctors order. If you want to be successful and not have any medical issue after your surgury please follow your doctors advice. He knows best!
