Vomiting
I know it's almost 1 year from your post but I have the same problem,Went to ER and they did ctscan, X-rays, blood work say all is good, I think I need more omeprazole or Zantac to help with this reflux. How did it go for you? Did Zantac helped ?

How long does dumping syndrome last?
I called the doc becouse I couldn't even sip water, he sent em to ER, after ctscan, X-rays, blood work, all is good, they think it's a very bad nausea and prescribe zofran. They give me zofran and I drink 1lt contrast liquid in 20 min without problem. Back on liquids for 24 hrs and then try soft again. I'm 4 weeks out.

Blue?
I'm feeling blue but I'm 3 weeks put of my surgery! I'm getting very frustrated about food, bumping episodes, I'm not feeling happy like I thought I would, I'm loosing weight but I don't care, I look at overweight people and think : I should stay like them, they look happy and confident. I dream at night about my surgery day and me saying : stop ! I don't want to do this. Tell me this is only a phase!

Give up
Had surgery on march 16, the first 10 days I was hungry but yesterday after my doc cleared me for purée/ soft stage, I got very excited and start trying food like eggs, fage yogurt, cottage cheese etc I not hungry anymore, this morning I had to force 1/2 cup of yogurt. Somehow the " head hunger" disappear!

Portion size?
I eat 1 hard boiled egg with little drizzle of extra vergin olive oil it took me a long time, and I feel full. I'll call tomorrow to make an appt with the Nut. This morning I have an appt with doc and he said you are not going to see the nut for 6 month post op. But if you want we can set up an appt. He said 3 meals and 2 snacks. And water. Even the fage yogurt for lunch I could only eat 1/2 cup

Portion size?
Hello I'm on the purée/ soft stage, so I can have, eggs, ricotta, cottage cheese, my doc didn't really give me a good list. He said protein that can be purée or you can easily chew??? Anyways. I saw many examples here and on Pinterest etc. but what's the portion size? If I eat 1 egg? Can I add little ricotta? Or avocado? How many times should I eat? Totally confuse.
