When I did my pre op 2 years ago it’s was hard the first two days. The thought of not eating makes you hungry lol. But after that it was a breeze and I lost 20lbs with out any form of exercise.i had a very small list of veggies I could eat with 3.5 oz of lean protein a day so I opted for beef jerky and I roasted the veggies with fat free Italian dressing . Those roasted veggies saved my life lol

Has anyone had their bypass reversed ? Where there any complications afterwards ? I'm seriously thinking about getting mines reversed. I had my bypass done 7/27/17 and I have been sick every since I can't eat and the only thing I can drink is warm water and Gatorade. I can't drink protein drinks dairy or plant based they make me very sick I can't stop throwing up and there's literally nothing on my stomach and my doctors office isn't having much luck getting me to a gi specialist I already been to the e.r now I'm so weak n light headed every thing is trembling I'm going back to the e.r I'm so scared I may die from this bypass I really just want it reversed

I was the same way it took me two weeks to have a bowel movement and when it came it was diarrhea. I still can't eat anything though I'll be a month post Aug27 I guess it depends on your body

I'm almost a month post and I don't eat anything other than soup sometimes not even that cause everything makes me vomit

I still haven't got my period I'll be a month post on August 27th... I'm not sexually active at all and I never had any vaginal issues but for the first time in my 29 years I got a yeast infection and it's been hell trying to get rid of it idk if it's because of the surgery or not

Thanks this made me feel a lil better I'm just so worried that I'm not eating and it's been so hard to get my protein in I'm just worried that's all

Heading over now thank you so much for your help I truly appreciate it

Hello there I recently found out I am lactose intolerant. I really need help finding a good protein powder that is lactose free. If you have any suggestions I would love to hear them

I'm happy to know I'm not the only one feeling this way. It's just making so scared cause I know I'm not getting the protein I need. I just bought some Greek yogurt and it made me so sick because I've become lactose intolerant. I'm over the craving food part I know how to control that being that I never feel hungry now. I'm just tired of feeling sick.

Thank you so much for your advice and enlightenment I will be looking into those protein options asap. I just don't know how they will work out being lactose intolerant I can't even have yogurt but in will ping to keep trying

Well all I had to do was see a nutritionist once a month for 6 months there was no classes or support group. The nutritionist I seen didn't know much of anything. The program I am in isn't very helpful but the surgeon himself is awesome... his program just needs help

Thank you for the advice I was thinking of seeking therapy since my program doesn't off anything to my knowledge

Thanks for your kind words

Hey guys has anyone experienced buyers regret with their surgeries? I'm 3 weeks post and it's been horrible. I feel so alone I don't know what I'm doing. My stomach feels weird 80% of the time and I think I'm dehydrated. I'm starting to get depressed I rushed into this surgery with out doing proper research. Now it's done and all I can think is what have I done to my self. I wish I could just go back and back out. Yes the weight is coming off and physically I feel great walking more less aches . But my stomach is always bothering me I don't know when I'm hungry my saliva is always foamy I can't drink my protein shakes with it getting sick puréed food is giving me problems. I'm just really losing my mind n I can't stop crying ? Is there anyone else experiencing any of these problems or feelings of regret?

We're surgery buddies I also had my bypass done on 7/27/17 my doctor says it's ok to try soft foods now I tried eggs this morning and I don't think my body is ready so I'll try again next week. My parents are from America my mom is from Oklahoma and my dad is from Florida. I haven't spoke to my dietician yet so I've been going on the knowledge my mother an I already have about food and listening to my body. I know it's going to be a challenge trying to transform soul food into healthy eating cause everything is so rich and fatty
