2 years post surgery problems



Recommended Posts

I had gastric bypass December 2016. I have been what the doctor called a model patient. I lost more than expected the first year. I started at 242 and now at 134. I actually have stopped trying to lose weight and stay stable in weight. I lost 5 pounds without trying. The past 2 months I have been sick to my stomach more. I have been nauseous and it actually feels like the surgery was just done. After surgery I had weird tastes and smelled smells differently. I’m having all this again. I go back in 2 weeks for my annual visit. Just curious if anyone else had the same thing happen.

Good Luck! But if the pain continues, I'd suggest calling and seeing about getting that appointment bumped up to someone sooner... just in case it's something more pressing.

      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.
