It's been very slow for me even though I can't eat but 2 to 4oz every 6 hours or I will throw-up. I wonder if my pouch will ever heal? I'm so tried of throwing up.

So everyone knows my surgery is tues. So this morning....I get a phone call.... my mom had passed away. I am so beside myself. Please pray for me .... I dont know how I am gonna get thru this and surgery and help the kiddos.

I had a gastric bypass I spent 4 days in the hospital and I had a 4 hour exploratory lap the morning after because I had a small bleeder. My husband had to go back to work the day after I got home, he is a Trucker Driver and he could only get 7 days off. So I was alone for 18 days before he returned. We made sure I had everything I needed before he left. It was hard but I made it my surgery was on April 9th 2014. I have a body binder but it is too uncomfortable for now I give it another month and it should be fine.

I too am 6 weeks out and nauseated most of the time. I saw my nutritionist today. She fears I'm not eating enough. I'm also having "gut" issues with a decent amount of diarrhea. She thinks that from a lack of Fiber.
She suggest I move my Multivitamin and take it 45 minutes after eating. I had been taking them in the morning which might start my day off feeling so bad. She also wants me eating 2 oz of protein and 2 oz of fruit/veggie with every meal. Even if it takes me more than 25 minutes, she would like me to try to get it in.
I have also been using saltines which seem to help some. I usually eat one about 30 minutes after my meal or when the nausea is unbearable. She told me this was fine and to continue doing this if it helps.

I'm 9 weeks out and I consume around 700 calories in a day on average. sometimes less but it really depends on what i'm eating. I get my Protein from skim milk,greek yogurt,cottage cheese and fish mostly. I also eat string cheese on occasion as well. refried Beans are a great source of Protein I have found out and they fill you up. When I really need to get my protein in I will drink a Premier Protein shake as it has 30grams per container.

I think it's def the bacon and the fats in it. Has your doc allowed you to have bacon? Maybe try turkey bacon? For now my surgeon has said no red meat or pork for 6 months out. Also 1000 calories is a lot early on. Has you doc said to take in 1000 calories a day? Every surgeon varies. For now my intake is about 500-600 calories a day max. Even that is still a lot for me. I mainly drink a TON of Water and also I am 5 weeks out.
