I am only about a week and a half post op but sometimes things I eat (obviously not still doing liquids bc I had to have real food lol) give me hot flashes but I have never gotten sick and thrown up. If anything I just get a couple of hot flashes and it passes. I would like to know though if it has anything to do with dumping...

Pretty sure you are 100% not allowed any starches

i am told when i go to week 3-4 i can have mashed potatoes, HOWEVER i was told to puree it with turkey or some form of Protein because just carbs (starches = HUGE CARB LOAD) will make you dump. I am thinking of doing pureed turkey with a bit of mashed potatoes and seeing when i am at that stage.

I have thrown up once from beef broth. I am two weeks post op. I understand what you mean by hot flashes. There are some liquids I drink where I get that hot flash and i worry that it will come up. So far I prefer cold drinks to hot. I started mush yesterday and have kept things down but I do get dizzy and warm.

I got that with diluted apple juice. I was still having post op diarrhea so wouldn't have noticed it anyway. But had wicked hot flashes an felt tired.

I had a little bit of fruit juice mixed with a few blackberries and 1/2 a banana and a little milk with my Calcium powder blended with ice and half way through my drink I had to keep myself from vomiting at work for 25 mins today

Try steaming cauliflower till its very soft and blend that like you would mashed potatoes. Tastes almost the same, sat better in my pouch than potatoes.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
