    Anyone a few years after bypass?

    you'll have to take vitamins for the rest of your life, if that's what you're asking. Malabsorption of calories stops after about two years. Malabsorption of vitamins is permanent.

    Feeling sick here and there.

    It's awful! I'll be fine, and then all of a sudden I'll start feeling "off" and it'll hit me to where ill feel like I'm sick with the flu.. the dizziness/head spin feeling, feeling tired and really nauseous and sometimes vomiting. It's awful

    That sounds normal to start getting hungry. Sounds like you've got a good handle on it. Stick with the program.

    since you have reflux, this decision should be a no-brainer. RNY. I would not even consider sleeve. P.S. I had gastric bypass for that very reason. I had GERD pre-surgery, and there's no way I wanted to risk it getting worse. I see a lot of people revising from sleeve to RNY for that very reasons - sometimes people who never even had GERD prior to surgery. I hav no regrets at all - I'm very happy with my RNY.

    Tried of not being able to go!

    I agree - contact your surgeon. Constipation is common after WLS, but three weeks is way too long.

    Things feel the same

    I started soft foods today. I was thinking the same thing until I tried some chicken salad. I ate 1/4 of a cup (what the nutritionist prescribed) and I felt sick. It felt like I had to burp but couldn’t. Here it is 3 hours later and I’m just starting to feel better. my doctor also told me to use a baby spoon. I got some at the Dollar store and they have been amazing so far.

    Can I eat whole wheat bread

    I am almost 3 years post-op and bread is still a very occasional treat. I know different doctors have different diet plans, but bread is mostly just carb calories so I don't waste my stomach space with it. I think protein is usually the main focus 5 weeks out. I would try a lettuce wrap with the turkey.
