I too wanted the sleeve but acid issues made bypass the better option. I cried lol. Today is 5 weeks out (I do not want to be attacked for my honest reply here by others) I have lost over 30lbs and had only constipation issues. My program was different then most I guess but in the hospital the morning after@ 7am they gave me a thin shake if you hold it down fine you move to pureed foods and stay on them. I was off puree by week 2 and I can & have eaten stuff that people here would be in shock to read. Tiny amounts chewed until they are apple sauce consistency (my teeth are doing the pureeing) and I have only barfed once but I did it to my self hoping that dumping would cause the runs (total frustration with the constant constipation that was also an issue before surgery) anyway 1/4 cup of that ice cream was fine but 1/3 cup was hot sweaty puke feel better 5 min later. I am not suggesting anyone eat ice cream or do anything other then what their Dr says. I just want you to know I was scared 1st that I was going to die on the table (my first major surgery ever) and 2nd that I would regret it & feel sick all of the time & never eat anything I liked again! I lost 110lbs on my own 1st in 6 months & had the surgery 3 months later. I have a hard time getting in all the Water but they have an app for that so now it's easier phone dings drink. Had an issue taking meds on time they have an app for that too! And no more nexium, no reflux, no acid.
And finally got the constipation issue worked out with JUICE! So lots of stuff are guidelines and you will figure out how to make it all work for you!
