I had bypass 3 weeks ago and I'm pretty much hungry 24/7. Only time I'm not is maybe for 15 min after eating something. Whether a Protein Shake or a Soup.

There really is no guarantee that your hunger will go away

Did you have them with milk? Were they softened and broken up?

If so it's very possible they just slid right through.

Gastric bypass leaves the stomach small but there's a opening on the side of it. Foods that are very wet and runny like Soups just flow right through and there's no restriction.

Gastric sleeve and it's derivatives on the other hand keep your lower stomach sphincter. Your body is capable of holding more food and can stretch a bit more.

Now if you are 5 wheetbix dry, without milk. Then I'd say you should ask your team.

For example I'm also about 3 weeks RNY post-op. I just had some goldfish crackers I shouldn't have. But I ate maybe 8 or 10 of them and I can feel the pressure building in my lower chest. Once food is not able to go into the stomach and it sits in the esophagus, you will normally start to spasm. Cough and your will begin to salivate. It's incredibly uncomfortable.

I did ask some surgeons but it seems like they didn't want to take me. I didn't ask them directly, just the person who picked up phone. So I'm not sure. Maybe I'll try more.

Thank you

About 3 weeks ago I had a gastric bypass. At the 1 week followup the surgeon really disrespected me. So much so that me a man was on the verge of tears because nobody has ever talked to me that way in my entire life. I have it right back to the doctor and told him about his poor bedside manner, etc, etc. He really didn't like that and said I disrespected him.

I apologized to him but he never apologized to me. I told him I hope we can go forward and he said we could. I needed to call the emergency number a week ago because of something happening. He was very cold and said he couldn't help me. I was polite and professional.

I've been having some side effects from that incident and my surgery. I felt that if I could just ask some questions I'd be a lot less stressed day to day. But so far my emails to the team have been ignored. Some by weeks and another by days.

I'm not sure what to do here. Any advice would be appreciated.

I have tried to call.other surgeons but the receptionists just say I need to stay with my doctor.

I have the two bottom most incisions are much more inflamed than the top ones. The bottom right one is reddish and tender and still has a scab. I just think there was more damage there.
