I can tolerate mayo and butter in small amounts. The transition to solid foods was pretty seamless for me. I only threw up once when I ate one to many chicken wings.

I can do high fat sauces and dressings. When I replied to one of your earlier threads about not being able to tolerate super fatty meals, I was referring to meals like fish fries (which I used to go to at least once a month pre-surgery). Those usually included 2-3 deep-fried breaded fish filets, tartar sauce, a pile of French fries, cole slaw (made with mayo, of course), and usually a roll with butter. I couldn't eat that anymore - all that fat would make me feel nauseated. I could have maybe a half a fish filet (or maybe a whole one if they were small) - everything else I had with that would have to be a lot lower in fat. Another meal that would be tough for me to eat - a reuben sandwich with a side of fries. I could probably do half a reuben and maybe 4 or 5 fries now.

but as far as something like a high-fat sauce or dressing on something - yes, I can eat that.

I do low fat to no fat, because too much fat in my diet upsets my stomach. I had a different surgery though, but it's the malabsorption imo that causes the issue and gastric bypass also has malabsorption so... I'd just be careful.

I avoid high fat foods when possible, but I have indulged from time to time without any problem now that I'm in maintenance. This includes butter, sauces, fatty meat, etc. Not a problem with any of them in the past year.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
