I had the lapriscopic gastric bypass surgery on October 30th 2012. I am 22 year old female from Minnesota. When I went in for surgery I weighted in at 288 pounds. Size 18 jeans and triple x shirt. I have high blood pressure and I'm borderline diabetic. I have to small children who I owe you everything to. They are my reason for having this surgery. Two days out of surgery and I can say I'm feeling pretty good. I'm still pretty sore. Just kinda curious as to what I should be eating so close to after surgery.

At this point, probably liquids only. Did your dr give you instructions?

Amtlmt: Welcome and congrats. There are a few posts on the pre and post op boards about liquid diets but they really vary surgeon to surgeon. I agree with BabyGirl and I would call your Dr. Mine is the 19th and I am so glad to hear you are doing well two days out.

Thanks for all the information. My doctor said I can eat pureed foods and such. I'm having a really hard time getting in Protein (protein shakes literally make me sick). So I have been eating eggs, cottage cheese, and yogurt. Along with muscle milk Protein Drinks. Having a hard time trying ti figure out if I'm hungry or not.

Stating: 288

Current 277

Am you are doing so well. Take it slow, remember to sip, walk and rest. Stay hydrated. And try adding some Protein Powder to your yogurt that might taste better for you, I am pre op so take my advice as such. But if you try some yogurt with the Protein powder and some dry sugar free fat free pudding mix, you might love it. try mixing vanilla yogurt with vanilla pudding and vanilla protein powder for instance.
