What type of exercise is everyone doing? Right now I'm just walking. I would like to incorporate weight lifting at some point.

OK thanks!

I had the gastric sleeve in 2012 and I just had my revision to the bypass on July 27th. So far I am regretting it. I was told I could move on to solids. I have tried eating chicken but it gets stuck in my throat and I have to throw it up. I'm scared I'll never eat normal again. The sleeve was much easier than this. I never had this problem. Will things get better soon?

Thank you so much! This helps me feel better.

How is everyone's journey going? Any regrets. I'm struggling.

I'm not sure what is normal after the surgery because I didn't have enough time to experience it before I was rushed to the hospital because a hernia got looped in my intestine. The pain after that was excruciating. However I don't think you have anything to worry about but I would check with Dr to make sure everything is fine.

And anything to dry will get stuck too. I can't eat chicken right now. I had salmon and I was fine but once I reheated it, it got stuck. I'm struggling with what to eat now because I'm scared of food getting stuck. I have been having chicken noodle soup and quiche because ive been able to keep them down although i either ate too much or two fast because the soup got stuck. So far I've lost 30 lbs. I can't even be excited because I'm miserable. A lot of people who have had the bypass and have had complications still say they don't regret it and they would do it again. I just think I wasn't ready for it. I wasn't in the right place thinking wise. But everyone's experience is different.

I hope you feel better soon. I'm only 4 months out but I'm already regretting my decision. Its scary that this is happening to you a year out.

I had the sleeve in 2012 and just had the revision to bypass July 27th of this year. I lost 130 lbs on the sleeve. The only problem I had with it was the heartburn. I kept the weight off for 4 years but due to some negative changes in my life all at once I gained all of it back. I have to say I found the sleeve to be a much easier process than the bypass. The sleeve I had no negative reactions to any food. I could eat whatever I wanted but in moderation and the weight came off easily. With the bypass I'm having trouble eating. Certain foods get stuck in my chest which makes me have to throw it up. So far its been a very unpleasant experience but I hope as time goes on it will get better and I'll be able to eat more variety.

Anyone eat carbs like bread and are OK with it? I'm wondering if further in my journey if I'll be able to have it again.

Okay. Thanks! I would love to have a cold glass of orange juice.

I am 3 months out of the gastric bypass. Is it OK to add fruit and fruit juice to my diet or will the sugar cause me to dump?

Okay. Thanks!

Thanks for the advice! I'll double check with my team. They did say focus on protein but I am able to eat some veggies and fruit with it.

Thank you for your help!

I'm sorry you're experiencing some difficulties right now. You are right I should focus on the good changes. Thanks!

Throwing up isn't new. I think I'm not ready for the next stage yet. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks for the info!

Thank you! I needed to hear this.

You're right. Everyone's experience is different. Its too soon to get defeated. Yes I do believe we will get through this. Thanks!

I'm looking at other's post and every seems to be doing so well with no regrets. I just had a piece of salmon and threw it up. I want to cry. The only thing I can seem to keep down is quiche. I'll fill out my profile but in the meantime I had the sleeve in 2012 and I just had a bypass revision on July 27th. So far I've lost 30 lbs. Thank you for your words of wisdom. It helps a lot.

Anyone dump? What does it feel like? Have people been able to have some sweets without dumping. Just want to see if I can ever have a cookie or something like that again.

Thanks!

OK. Thanks!
