I had my gastric bypass May 25th, 2016. It's been close to two weeks. Now I'm overwhelmed , I can't seem to follow, my drinking, crushing my meds, and Vitamins. And eat puree food. I'm scared, I feel sick. Someone please help me through this.

Yes it can be a bit overwhelming in the beginning but it does get better. This is my experience. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf If you have specific problems, let us know and we might make specific recommendations.

I don't recommend this but my first two weeks I focused on staying hydrated everything else was secondary. I eventually got chewable vitamins that practically melts in my tongue after chewed. I also became lactose intolerant and found it hard to do my Protein. I'm 8 weeks out my best friend has become propel zero Water that is Vitamin enhanced

      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.
