I'm 10 weeks in to my Gastric Bypass, after a failed Lapband. I have had a big problem finding food I can eat and getting the required protein. I was 379 lbs at my surgery and I'm already down to 301 lbs. Which is awesome for me, but protein shakes make me vomit almost right away after 6 weeks of nothing but the shakes.(2 weeks before surgery and 4 weeks after) I thought I could get protein from fish and shakes but can't seem to get them down, and stay down? Small slices of cheese along with a couple crackers and peanut butter are almost a daily staple. As is very thin deli sliced lunch meat. I had a florascope and everything looks good? When I get hungry, I get nausea and after I eat I get nausea. I throw up about 50% of what I eat. I guess it's dumping syndrome cause I get alot of hot flashes right before I get sick. I tried GNC for other options but spent alot of money on stuff that didn't work? Did anyone have these issues? And any recommendations on food that is easy to keep down? Fish,eggs and milk have been very hard for me so far? My blood work was all good but low in iron which I take a med for now. I can deal with not eating much, but I'm miserable being nauseous all the time. I've had my Dr. Give me scripts to ease feeling nauseous but nothing seems to work? Thanks for any light y'all can shed on my issues!

Great this is helpful I was taking the omeprazole but was still getting the nausea. The Doc changed it 2 more times with no change. So I quit takung it. Maybe I need to try it again? I had to reschedule my 8 week checkup to july 3rd so im hoping to discuss the issue then. I was just worried this was gonna be a lifetime nausea and have honestly been regretting my choice for the surgery. Even though the weightloss is awesome im just feeling bad all the time. I will definately look into this info. Thank you!

Refried beans are good, ive never tried tofu, Greek yogurt has gotten hard to swallow but I do like the idea of protein bars. Thank you. I started using a small fork an baby spoon. My wife thinks I still eat to fast. Its definately a hard thing for me to master. As is not drinking water with my meals. Thanks for the help, its great that people who have already Passed this stage can help out us newby's! Best of luck on yalls end!

Thank you, I will definitely look into that. I've tried blending everything into the whey protein shakes and muscle milk and tried different brands and flavors but can't get past the whey taste anymore, wife said it's in my head, but whatever it is they just won't go down? Thanks again I
