I have questions about diet. I think I'm not following like I should.

So bypass was 9/12.

Follow up is on 9/30.

At this point I am down 21 lbs. I did weigh Sunday and was below 200 only to weigh again ( feeling really bloated this morning) and discovering I was at 203. Probably not a big deal but I have a few questions.

1. Is this normal? Weight fluctuation?

2. I should be on puréed foods. I'm still having a lot of bloating. I know I'm eating foods of the wrong consistency (and I AM CHANGING IMMEDIATELY after talking with one of my supportive mentors) but I want to know if I've done real damage or if this is where the bloating is coming from.

3. There are very little limitations on my puréed diet but it does say no raw fruits and veggies. I've found some purée recipes I wanted to try. Some call for bananas/avocado...would you try them and make sure you steam the veggies and fruits before purée?

Any advice I can get would be appreciative. I can promise you I am going to make changes immediately.

Congrats on the 20lbs loss so far. My surg was 9/13 and down only 11lbs so far. Since last Tues, Ive been able to have cooked meats and veggies, up to 4oz, pureeing unnecessary.
I was just curious about what ur diet has been since surgery? Exercise routine? Again, congrats on the lbs lost so far. Keep it going! [emoji4]

Bloating soon after surgery is completely normal. You're swollen and still working out the IV fluids they pump you up with in hospital. Try to walk as much as possible, follow your surgeon's orders for food, and as counterintuitive as it seems, drink lots of Water. Everyone's plan is different, but I'd say if your doctor wants you on only cooked pureed foods, do that. Right after surgery when everything is healing is not the time to fudge the limits of your pouch.
20lbs in this little time is amazing. You're doing great. The first few weeks are frustrating, but stick it out and it gets better and better.
