Are u getting egg drop soup? I was thinking about getting some today Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Ty so much for the reply. I called my doc on call and he pretty much said just that. I basically over did my pouch w that. He said I may feel this way several hours or even tomorrow and I should be on liquids for a bit. Our menu indicated that we can have the prepared meals just eat the Protein first. The rice was a HUGE mistake! He said this is my pouch letting me know it isn't happy at least I know nothing is seriously wrong. But lesson learned! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi there. I am about 3 weeks postop. I've yet to have felt dumping or any complications. At noon I had a lean cuisine which had rice and carrots in it. I felt fine eating it and of course only had a few tablespoons but I'm pretty sure I ate way too fast and too much. After about an hour I had serious air bubbles in my tummy. It was very painful. And I kept feeling air come up but couldn't belch. It has since calmed down after I dry heaved and a bunch of air came out. I am still feeling so full and have the air in there. It's not nearly as uncomfortable as it was. But it was pretty rough. I don't think this was full on dumping but maybe a version of it? It's still going on 4 hours later ( again not as intense). But I'm afraid to eat or drink anything at all. I've had no diarrhea or vomiting. Has anyone experienced this?? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

What u are describing is a flouroscopy. That is not nearly as invasive as an EGD Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm a Gi nurse and u won't know a thing! They will sedate u so that u are completely unaware of what's happening. It's not as " heavy" as anesthesia but the sedation we use is nearly as effective. U will wake up and be able to drink and eat! They will take biopsies if needed just to see but if u are getting it to just check things out before your procedure or something, it just helps them to see if anatomy is good and if there's an ulcers Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I am so ready for some food tho! I have to have shakes and Water for 2 weeks only. Then can graduate to soft foods. eggs sound so freakin amazing right now! Lol. It's funny how fast everything changes. I went from craving a bunch of tacos and soda to now just one egg. All I want is one egg! Lol Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hi! I just had my gastric bypass 5 days ago. I see improvement every day. Which is great. I pass a little gas. Not much. I have had 2 tiny bowel movements. Very tiny. Does it take a while this close to surgery to get " normal?" Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
