Hi everyone. I had my gastric bypass surgery 6 months ago. A few complications having had another surgery but so far so good. Have lost 68 lbs so far. I finding I am having no appetite for a few weeks now...have been skipping my morning high Protein shake. I eat a late lunch and therefore a late dinner. I seem to be very hungry at nite and am reaching for healthy foods but just seem to have gotten into this unhealthy practice. I haven't gained any weight, matter a fact have been losing. Am looking for someone to help with support and accountability. Also was exercising at the beginning but broke my foot on May 10th. Just this month has been feeling better. I liked doing Piyo (palates and yoga combined) it's fast paced and you sweat and burn lots of calories. I just can't get motivated to start up again. I have my kids and they are proud of the weight loss thus far but I just don't have anyone who I can identify with who has had bypass surgery. So if there is anyone with advice and want to buddy up let me know. Thx

Hi, I know I'm replying kinda late but I had surgery on March 7 and need a buddy too. If your still looking let me know, would love to talk.

TY for all of your support and different options...I needed to hear it's okay.

Hi everyone, I am having my gastric bypass surgery 3/7/16 ...(this Monday)... and am trying to learn everything I can. I can't believe the day is here.! Well have been going over the various phases if the gastric bypass diet and am having a real problem anticipating the Puree diet. You see I am a nurse of 35 yrs, predominantly in the emergency room but I can still remember vividly my time on a medical ward. There we used to do long term care of the patients and the population was geriatrics. I remember feeding the patients puree diets and almost got sick to my stomach many times. The smell, consistency, and texture was nasty, especially the pureed liver. I have been reading up on different foods ppl are eating and blending, and I just don't think I can do it. I'll get sick. I know some of you may laugh at this or say "get over it and do it) I'm trying to keep an open mind but I think I'll stick to the shakes, cottage cheese, yogurt and creamed Soups, but when it come to blending eggs, meats, tuna and fish I think back to my experience with puree food and my stomach swirls. Does anyone have the same experience, I will discuss with my Doc and nutritionist but was wanting some feedback from the community. TY
