I had surgery 7/14/15



Recommended Posts

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!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
