Starting soft/pureed food, gas pain, and weight loss



Recommended Posts

As of yesterday, I can begin soft/pureed food. I had a bit of cottage cheese yesterday, and 2 oz. of tuna today. Within an hour or so of eating, I start getting terrible gas pains. Is this normal? I've been on liquid for 4 weeks and these 2 things are my first foods. Also, and I know this is not what I should be worried about since it's only a week since surgery, my weight has completely stalled. I read about people that have lost 20-30 lb in the first 2 weeks after surgery and that kind of frustrates me. I lost 19 lb. before surgery and have stayed the same since surgery. Am I being too impatient? (I know the answer is yes, but it helps to have others kick me in the butt and tell me to cool my jets!):biggrin1:

I have come realize that everyone is different. I am post op 9 days and have lost 1lb a day but I have alot of weight to lose as well. Depends on what you have to lose and you may still have alot of gas left in you. Not sure but I know that it is to early to be worrying about it.

So consider this the kick in !@@# you need.

Good Luck.

      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.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
