Yesterday was the first day since surgery where I had a 'good' food day. Everything I ate was tolerated well. I got in my liquids. I had a nice diverse meal day...egg and greek yogurt with strawberries in the AM, chicken salad at lunch, homemade crab cake for dinner. Get on the scale this morning and up .8 of a pound. Really? Sooo frustrating because I had so many bad food days in the last 2 weeks during pureed and early soft food stages....learning about so many new intolerances (lactose being the biggest of them) and then I have a great food day and...weight gain.

My lactose intolerance seems to be based on how much I consume. I was doing greek yogurt, cottage cheese and ricotta cheese during pureed but now I seem to be tolerating them less. I'm going to move away from lactose-dairy for awhile.

Oh my gosh I just started getting the same issue...every time I eat something, about 5-10 minutes later, I get lower abdominal gas...the kind you get sometimes before diarrhea. But then it just goes away after about 5-10 minutes. Plus I think I'm intolerant to the whey protein in supplements so I just ordered an egg protein based supplement because I'm definitely not getting enough protein. Oh and I'm on the same post-op diet as you. They had me on full liquids for 7 days after I went home, then on pureed for 7 days and now I'm in the soft food stage and it should be much easier but this stage is where all the intestinal distress has come into play so I'm going to try and switch up what I'm eating...lean away from the yogurt and cottage cheese and canned chicken and try some flaky fish, more soups and some soft cheese.

I'm in week two after gastric bypass and on pureed foods. I am measuring all of my intake but every time I eat anything I get a dull ache and discomfort in my stomach. I have eaten so slowly but maybe not slowly enough? I haven't had any nausea or vomiting...just stomach pain/discomfort. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? Oh and the constipation is totally a thing. I'm on Miralax powder every day and Colace and I'm on day three without going. Ugh.

Had surgery on June 4th. Been on pureed foods for 7 days. I am measuring all of my intake but every time I eat anything I get a dull ache and discomfort in my stomach. I'm taking 30 minutes to eat 2.5 ounces of food and haven't had any nausea or vomiting...just recurring stomach pain/discomfort any time I eat. Any tips on what I'm doing wrong? Oh and the constipation is totally a thing. I'm on Miralax powder every day and Colace 3 times a day and I'm on day three without going. Ugh.

I just went from lap band in 2014 with zero success and so much food getting stuck all the time, to a RNY bypass which my surgeon said was the only safe choice for me. I’m 12 days out from surgery and in the puréed foods stage and 16lbs down and very hopeful that I have success this time. Failing on the lap band was really demoralizing.
