10 day post opt gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

10 day post opt and have to say lots of questions still although I know it's Normal. Def having issues with being able to get all my fluids in because I feel so full and then my stomach hurts .. I know that when I tried the primer Protein Shakes I got sick immediately and I believe it was the milk .. which I never had a problem with before .. but now slowly introducing like almond milk and taking it slow .. but I'll admit I'm scared of food .

it's not uncommon to develop some food intolerances after surgery - although they're often temporary. Milk is a common one - and so is artificial sweeteners (especially sugar alcohols - the ones whose names end in -itol (like xylitol)).

Maybe try the clear Protein Drinks. If it’s the milk In the shake you should be fine with those. Take it slow though in case it’s the sweetener. If so there are several that are used and you may only have an issue with a certain one.

I religiously measured Water and with 15 minute timer, sipped to get the water in. Then reset 15 min timer on my phone once water was down. Slow but sure. At 4 weeks went to a kids sippy cup after measuring 10 little sips, spitting it in measure cup to calibrate intake. Now at 8 weeks 18 sips is equal to 1/2 cup. Staying there until 6 months. Still trying to drink every 15 minutes. Take water in car to drink every 15 minutes. I don't like water so use sugar free skittles flavoring. The strawberry ones I mix with low fat Greek yogurt.

      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.
