Hi all, my husband had gastric bypass September 14th. So 2 and a half weeks post-op. He is not following the eating guidelines. He did well with the 2 week post op liquid diet. But I woke up this morning to him making 2 pieces of bacon and 2 scrambled eggs. He's completely skipped the puree and soft food stage. We had the post op surgeon appointment and a nutritionist appointment where I feel like they gave him the green light to move to soft foods, but I think he's going way beyond what they intended for him to be eating. I'm at the point where I can't nag him into eating the way he's supposed to be and find myself getting angry that he isn't following 'the rules ' of eating. Not sure what to do, holding my tongue is driving me crazy and I don't want to see him fail. 😢. But I also know if I nag him he will just get mad and do what he wants anyway. I'm thinking of emailing the nutritionist, maybe she can do something.

The bacon went fine. He hasn't complained of any pains. Went for a walk afterwards. I'm going to talk to him later about the concerns. Thank you for hearing me out!!

Hi! I'm just starting out in this journey and am hoping to get some guidance, haven't even decided which surgery to get yet. I had my Dr. consult a few months ago and am in the process of getting all my testing and insurance approvals before I schedule a surgery. My Dr. said pre and post-op I will need a multi vitamin in the morning and a mineral supplement in the evening. Multi vitamins... fine, easy. I'm having trouble finding a 'mineral' supplement... Is there one that contains all of the minerals?! And it has to be chewable...ugh. Any help and support is appreciated!
