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!

      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.
