Each surgeon's plan is different. The right way is to stick to the plan you were given by your surgeon.

You're worrying for no reason. If your stomach wasn't sealed correctly, you would know. It doesn't require food intake to test that.

Just relax and follow your surgeon's plan :)

Take each new stage slowly, a tiny taste at a time, and wait, and only take a couple bites. Any real food introductions need to be done slowly to see how your stomach will react, as you are not healed. It is different for everyone.

How long is the healing process ? I’m just worried that it will bust open and another issue I’m having I feel still run down and tired I’m taking my Vitamins but I feel if I could eat some Protein I would feel better

That's why he said to wait,2 weeks, he cares about,you more than that says start eating,nuts, popcorn and such right away. I doubt I'll ever eat popcorn again, no loss when you consider what I'll be gaining. So I will listen to my doctors advice, they know what they did and how they did it. As a bypass,the last thing to heal for me will be my anastomosis where they join my intestine to my stomach pouch, that is timed in months,instead of days or weeks. NBT no big thing , I know I will be just fine and dandy😝my surgeon is the very best I could have found, I trust him, I trust his hands, why would I not trust,his advice?😷🏣😝

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
