Hi there I just went through the same issue . I'm almost 4 weeks out and it started when I was two weeks out. I literally feel like I weigh 1000 lbs doing the simplest of things would make my heart race. I went to see my dr I had an ekg and they placed a 48 hour heart monitor . All my blood work came back fine and he said my body is probably just out of shape after surgery and any light work is a lot for me now . But not sure about that become sometimes I'll just be sitting there and my Heart feels like it's going to pop out of my chest . I also and curious what others have to say .

Yeah I'm in no rush to go eat real solid food . But it was refreshing to actually chew my food lol idk how you strong people did like a month pre op full liquid and then post op as well. I only had to do 2 week low carb diet pre op. I guess I'm lucky

Wow so I'm right it is early. He told me cook my veggies very soft and my meat moist not dry. Maybe because I wasn't eating puréed food at all? I just couldn't stand the texture. And explain how I felt I wasnt consuming enough calories . I was barley eating 400 a day .

I did have RNY . I asked him if it was to early and he said no. He told me to just listen to my body . I been tolerating everything so far. Today I had a piece sliced turkey breast and pepper jack and chopped it up small and chewed it very well. Took my time eating it . Took around 30 mins to eat 1/4 a cup . And I feel great. For the first time I actually felt full.

So I went to see my surgeon today for my two week visit and he gave me the OK for solid foods. He said I look great and I'm tolerating foods awesome. He told me I can pretty much eat anything besides red meat bread rice pasta all the stuff I wasn't planning on eating anyway. Is this to soon? I'm happy because I can finally chew but A tad bit apprehensive.

Awesome thanks ! Umma try them out . This protein thing is hard work lol

Thanks and silly question but do you taste it at all ? And how much protein does it contain?

Has anyone been successful with unflavored protein I'm having a very hard time getting my protein in. 12 days out. Just wondering if there's anyway I can mix some into my food without tasting it. To try to get my protein up.

2 carbs and 1.5 g of sugar

I'm 11 days out and on puréed foods . I'm not sure what I experienced but it was horrible! At the night I had refried beans with cheese and felt it had to much cheese so stopped eating them. In the Morning I had 1/4th of light Greek yogurt (strawberry) and only water after. Around 1:30 I had horrible cramps had to go #2 it wasn't diarrhea at first but I got the shakes started sweating and breathing hard. Then finally came the diarrhea (tmi sorry) the other things lasted another 3 mns or do then I was fine . Anyone know what could of caused it? I'm thinking the yogurt although I've ate it before with no prob .

Hi there my date was 9/16/15 So right with ya. I have the same concerns as you. Hopefully it gets better . Anyone else still having pain? I have such bad pain on my left side where my drain was. ????

Ok great , thanks . I have been drinking the whole 13 oz protein shake with in like 15 mins . I felt like I was drinking to fast but didn't feel bad so wasn't to sure lol this is going to take some time getting use to! ????

Thanks ☺️ I'm not to sure how much I should be drinking at a time . I don't want to over do it and ruin my pouch . Do you by any chance have a guideline?

Hey everyone I just had gastric bypass one week ago I'm confused as to how I'm able to drink so many liquids without feeling full. I read about people all the time eating and drinking so little and feeling full. I have yet felt that feeling. I don't want to over eat but nothing is physically telling me I'm full or to stop. Is there something I should be doing? or something I'm doing wrong? any help counts !
