I'm 7 weeks after surgery and the bar I try is called power crunch it's a waffle type of bar melts in my mouth and has 13 gr of protein. How should I get 60gr protein if I can't even drink the Protein shake? 2 sips in 30 min and I have pain and burp a lot.

I had Gastric Bypass (RNY) Surgery on 3/16/15 and I'm very worried about my eating problems. When I eat a gas pain starts and it's very painful until I finally burp it out with vomit of gastric liquids. 2 -4 times then finally pain goes away. Pretty much I can't eat anything. I'm on Protein crunch bars, and protein pudding. When I try food it's in very small portions, and distance bites between 3-5 min each small bite. I feel like I'm going crazy and very worried about my health. Doctor check for stricture and everything is fine. I take omeprazole and carafate twice a day. I'm regretting this surgery big time. This was a stupid idea. But there is not way out. I'm so mad at myself

I have the problem with eggs, tofu, chicken, tuna, gas pain until a burp it out with vomit gastric fluids. With eggs I have to vomit about 10 times, and after that I can get water or anything else in. My stomach hurts for hrs. My surgery was 3/16. How long does it take to be able to eat without all of this gas creating?

What's your daily struggle? I'm only 6 week, bypass. And I'm struggling with food and dumping even the smallest food or water at times. Would this be a life long struggle? Would love to hear from you.

Anyone from Ventura county? I live in Camarillo.

I regret I told many friends. Keep it to yourself is the best way.

dalcomendas is my name on myfitnesspal. Please feel free to add me. I had a bypass I think is same diet as the sleeve

I had a bypass and I have lots of reflux on omeprazole + carafate I can't eat much

I start my morning with a protein shake, half way I'm full, then I drink about 10 oz water, then I try to finish my shake and I feel so full I can't eat anything else. Last night a try deli turkey at the 2 nd chew super good bite I start dumping, this morning I could drink a shake or eat a bar, I made some cous cous and was ok. It mostly protein that hurts. It feels like a have lots of gas, I burp and burp but then pain gets bad until I force it out and I vomit, I eat small bites every 5 min.

My problem is that I can't eat anything, some days are so bad, I get the dumping syndrome for days, nothing stay down. I'm regretting surgery big time!

What are you guys eating after 6 weeks from bypass surgery? Would you guys share a typical day? I struggling with food, or shakes, I don't have any strictures or problem, just my stomach can take certain food, and I get full very fast, I'm not taking 60gr of protein. I'm feeling very discouraged.

I have the same problem I'm 6 weeks in, I'm worry for my protein intake. If I drink 1 shake in the morning I'm done for the all day, maybe I can get in a little protein from Parmesan cheese. But in so full if I try my stomach turns

I'm having a lot of trouble with NO foods. I can't eat tuna, yogurt, eggs, sliced turkey, ham, i get full very easily. If I drink a protein shake I'm done for the all day. I feel lost I'm at 6 weeks, bypass and I don't know what to eat.

In at 6 week in and it's very hard to eat or drink, I get full very fast. Bypass surgery, I try to drink a protein shake 25 gr and a protein bar 13gr, but it's very hard to eat anything else. So how to get more protein and water ?

I was out for 3 weeks, after that I was fine, but then on my 5th week I start getting sick again with food.

Really will take 6 months ? I'm only 6 weeks. I can't really eat yet, I guess this is a patience trial.

I had a bypass and I am having very bad reflux, I don't know if is gerd or if is surgery related. Last week I had so much pain and couldn't drink or eat much, dr give me double dose omeprazole and carafate, feeling better now. Can't get enough protein in, some food cause me to vomit, because the reflux. I burb a lot every single sip of water, tea, or protein shake.

You can stay hydrated with herbal tea, crystal light etc, just drink whatever you can, I'm 1 month in and water still hurts.

How do you feel now?

I been having lots of reflex I'm also on carafate and Prilosec. What type of revision are you going to have?

I'm almost 5 weeks out of surgery, 2nd week I start soft food. Was fine! Getting water and protein fine. Last Friday I start vomiting a white gastric liquid, pain in my upper stomach. Thought maybe I eat to fast. Rest little try drink water again pain until I vomit gastric fluid. Saturday morning went to ER, after calling my surgeon office, run blood test, urine, ctscan, X-ray all come back negative I went home, I can't drink more then 20oz water or tea a day, only 1 shake a day fits, today went for a upper GI X-ray with liquid, there is not stricture. Any idea what could be?

Thanks for the infos

I might have a stricture going to get an upper GI on Thursday. I'm scared, how do they enlarge the stricture, do they put you to sleep?

Can I ask you what complications you have?
