I had surgery 7/14/15

Hi all, I have posted before but cannot find any of my posts from before my surgery. I had other surgery performed at the same time and the fix was gastric bypass. I had strictures, an esophageal problem and a hernia. I needed help to lose weight but I was not considered acceptable for weight loss surgery based on weight.(205weight,5'6)

My issue--first week, great..no nausea or vomiting and could handle every thing...I have tried to progress to an egg, Soup, beans--all pureed but I can't hold anything down this week. Frustrated as I'm hungry!! Any suggestions.2 ounces is my portion size right now and I measure it so It's not from too much. Thanks y'all!!

Also I would like too join the Facebook group above(might be in it) but I have been sick with everything else I have not spent much time online.

Nice to meet everyone..I'm in Pensacola, FL.

Welcome! Congrats on your recent surgery! Sorry to hear that you're experiencing problems. I can't offer my personal experience to compare as I'm still pre op, but I do hope things improve quickly and you're feeling better soon! Good luck!

Make sure you keep things very low or no fat. That's the only thing that has bothered me. Did you try unsweetened applesauce?

How about egg beaters instead of eggs? The Dietitian told me some can't handle the fat in the yolks.

Mashed potatoes?

sugar free Popsicles?

I'm 22 days post op. Hope that helps!

Thank you for your help! I am finding different day, different feelings. I will try the egg beaters..and .applesauce is working...
