I am 14 days out today, tried to start puréed food. Mixed tuna with a spot of mayo and relish. Could only get 1 1/2 oz down within 15 mins, severe diarrhea and nausea with vomiting, then got really hot, sweaty and dizzy :( so much for that!!!!

that sucks. I hope you feel better soon.

Maybe you should nix the mayo and relish..maybe it was a little too soon for that.

I am pre-op but I took care of my mother who is about 6 weeks post op with gastric bypass and I know that she couldnt handle all the mix-ins that soon

try to take it slow

I know it sounds gross, but what I did for her was put some canned chicken breast and chicken broth in the blender and blended it really find and she did well with that. And I tasted it, it wasnt bad.... of course I am pre op so my taste buds are still in tact....

It sounds like you ate tooooooo fast. Slow down and keep your food simple for now. tuna might have been too soon and the mayo too rich. It gets easier as time goes on.... ;) Hope your feeling better.

You don't need 1.5 oz in one sitting this early. When I was at your stage, I'd have 1/2 a soft-boiled egg in one sitting.

I agree I think its either too much or too fast. I'm two weeks post op too and I can eat the Condiments but if I dont take at least 30 mins to eat it is not pretty, haha. My surgeon told me it should take at least 30 minutes to eat a meal and not more than 45 minutes (they don't like grazing lol) and that seems to work for me. Try stretching it to 30 minutes and maybe you'll find that you are feeling your full signal before you finish!

Good luck!!

One easy meal is get a can of chicken (light& dark meat) and add it to a can of chicken gravy, served on mashed potatoes. Its so soft and tastes good, and you're getting Protein from the chicken and the gravy is very low cal. I'm 4 weeks out and this is a staple and very tolerable.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
