Hello from hot Arizona!

Everyone is so different as to what makes them dump. I’m over 6 years out & can eat almost anything. fruit can be tricky because of all the natural sugar. I just finished eating 3.5oz of watermelon, cantaloupe, honeydew, strawberry & grapes. I make little portion cups up with just a couple of bites of each fruit & keep them ready in the fridge for a late night snack.
You just gotta start off slow to see what your body will tolerate & just because something makes you dump this week doesn’t mean that it is always gonna be that way the next time.
Good luck

You don’t need to take a lot with you to the hospital. All you really need is your phone charger and some Chapstick and your toothbrush and your hairbrush and slippers if you wear them. You could wear the same clothes home from the hospital that you wore to the hospital because you’re really not going to be in them for very long.

I’m 6 years out & if I tried to eat a “normal” meal I would throw up. I can only eat about 3 1/2oz at a time. This means I have to eat 5 times a day. My surgeon even made my pouch a little bigger because I didn’t need a by pass for weight loss but because my esophagus was in an L shape & this was the best way to correct it.

Try eating smaller portions.

I have no answers for you I just wanted you to know that I feel your pain in your story. I hope you find some answers soon.

The 1st few days are rough. Consentrat on Protein and liquids right now. The Protein Shakes can be counted as liquid.
The first few weeks I only got between 700 and 900 calories day. Just don’t go on a binge. I need a bunch of crap and you will be fine.

What a great feeling! Dance all you want!

Do not give up hope! My surgeon told me to get all my info from the internet! I even put myself on a 2 week pre-surgery liver shrinking diet. I got no help from him whatsoever. I worked with a nutritionist from my insurance company to figure out what I should be eating.
My daughter had an amazing surgeon.
we have both done amazing and kept the weight off for over five years
Do not turn to drugs. The weight will come back on as soon as you stop.

It's not really a matter whether it hurts or not but that it is quite dangerous to eat solids too early on because your sutures have not healed until about the 6 week point. It can cause serious damage either now or in the future. I would speak to your surgeon about this.

Yes, weight all your food together to make 3oz.

Wear the same thing home that you wore to the hospital. You won’t be in them for very long at a time.

How exciting!
I had a fundolipcation years ago & after ten years it was discovered that it had failed at some point. And that my esophagus was L shaped & 1/2 of my stomach was above my diaphragm!
I had a bypass to fix all of that and lost over 60 pounds. I feel so much better now!
Good luck & God’s blessings on you tomorrow!

I’m over 5 years out. I eat about 2oz Protein & one oz veggies for dinner. I have 5 small meals a day.
When we go out I eat about 1/3 of the protein & about 3 small bites of veggies.
If I go over that I know I will put on weight.
If I eat more then that I end up throwing up.

Never stopped & never did anything different with my hair routine of blow drying & curling.
