I'm on October 3. I'm getting excited. I haven't found the liquid diet to be too bad either. I'm missing food but I don't feel very hungry. I had a WICKED sugar withdrawal headache on Day 2 but that has gone away now. Good luck to you...can't wait to hear about your success!

Y'all do realize I was being sarcastic about the pork chops and tacos, right?
It's pretty simple. Follow your program, do what your surgeon and nutritionist approve. (Or not... but don't look for justification when you know you've strayed from the program.)

I chose bypass cause with the amount of weight I had to lose- I wanted the double effect of malabsorption and restriction. A large part of why I did not want VSG was because of the large possibility of reflux. It was never an issue for me before and I didn't want to come out Of surgery with new issues. I've lost 137# so far, zero complications . I'm happy with my choice.

Tell me about it!! Lol peeps here are serious about to. They add cheese, mayo, sour cream like nothing happened to their new stomach. I'm in such disbelief that the question is even treated with legit sincerity. It's common sense. Plus they know even before they had surgery what food they should eat and should not eat because they have met with the nutritionist before even getting weight-loss surgery. They know the answer to the question but their brains are hungry for real food and not Protein Shakes

WHAT?? We can have pork chops at one week and tacos at three weeks? Then why the hell did I bypass (get it, lol!) the prime rib and sautéed mushrooms at a dinner party last week??? OH, RIGHT... because I was 8 days post-op for sleeve surgery- DUH!

I'm in Salinas, ca. 15 miles to Monterey

Hello....I too believe in the same One that created you. I'm scheduled for October 4th. I was hoping to have the sleeve but after my endoscopy, I have a large hiatal hernia so I will have to have the bypass. You can do this! When you are in doubt call on the One who keeps us from falling. I'm praying for you and happy belated birthday!

I love this silly humor, really. I do remember being a Newbie, and I did not understand it like I learned to, with great people who lighten my day. Please stay, ask someone in private if you should eat a taco or pork chop, because if you have to ask you know damn well you shouldn't eat it. Maybe a better idea is call the ER and ask a nurse on call if you can eat a taco or pork chop! LAUGH like there's no tomorrow!!!

I had trouble eating and staying in my Protein shake and mushies for a few months. Some pouches heal longer than others. Listen to ur body.

Glad to hear you are doing good! Nausea is such a terrible feeling. Ask for the Behring the ear patch, it works in conjunction to ur nausea meds

Seriously there are no mean women. For years, the Veterans give 1,000 answers to soothe Newbies and others. Then comes post number 1,001, saying I ate a pork chop, can I eat a taco, I ate a turkey leg, and there is true pain to the people here who really try to guide others to healthy eating and results, which is more than frustrating. Can you understand this?

Where would you or I be without the guidance of the Veterans here. They have counseled on poop, tacos, hamburgers, vomiting, pain, Vitamins, four YEARS. Sometimes the questions are so absurd the only way to deal with them are with humor. LIghten up. You have no community of dedicated helpers like you have here. Trust me.

Did you not attend a visit with a nutritionist? Did you sign up for WLS thinking it was a route canal? This is insane. When we decide to go ahead and have WLS, we by this time realize what got us here. Like tacos. Ice cream. Breads. pastas. You should be on liquids 2 weeks in and sometimes longer, then mushies for a 2-3 weeks more. That's when you try solid Proteins, even then it's touch and go. You do know that eating healthy is a change you knew had to happen. Especially after a drastic invasive surgery like ours. You need to seek ur nutritionist out and a psychologist who works with people who have had weight-loss surgery. So I'd say tacos is a negative. 10-4?

Even11,
You have to try to get ur Protein in, I think you have heard everyone saying to sip, sip ,sip. Even if it takes you 2 hours to sip ur Protein Drink, do so. Gatorade will help only a fraction. Even if you have to Protein drinks that are 30 hr of Protein a day, it will make you feel sooooo much better and less hungry. When i went through the liquid period, I was starving at first and it seemed like a full time job just to sip my protein. Crazy but it will be a full time job to healthy. Just try your best. It's not easy but it's very do-able. Good luck

Gatorade isn't really good for you rt now, but if u had no choice and HAD to drink Gatorade , There's the ICE Gatorade. If u like the taste Gatorade which a friend of mine did, she bought unflavored Protein and added it. No bad flavor or grimy taste. She did add a stevia with it and lots of cubed ice though

Well said Carrie! I'll be sending good vibes your way. I was told today to expect up to a 3 day hospital stay, I'm hoping for a 1 day stay and kicked loose. Please keep us informed. The sleeve only made my feed worse and now I have Barret's Esophugus. I wish I would've just had the bypass from the beginning. It's a learning the hard way type of experience
