Hi all

I had By-pass surgery on the 1st of May

Last Thursday I started on the soft foods diets, I decided to have flaked fish with some sort of wet stuff called sauce, i found the fish got stuck and ended up in pain for just over an hour. I either did not chew my food enough or the fish was a little dry (the latter would be the culprit i think)

I know there is an issue with the opening being smaller of something like that, is that an issue while healing of that is that perminant?

Hi all, i just wanted a sanity check if possible

Pre operation i weighed in at 136kg, after the 2 weeks of liquid on the day of the op i weighed in at 127kg. The operation was on the 1st of May and as of today i weigh 116.5kg.The reason i ask is that i weigh myself every second day and for the past 3 times i have only lost 500g each time, is this normal weight lose?

I wonder if this is the way it will be from now on?

I hope not

It’s pretty normal to feel everything moving down as you eat...at least this early. I am just about 4 mos post op and can still feel liquids and thin foods. I also suggest eating less and measuring if your stomach hurts. Best of luck

Its nice to know that feeling everything moving down is normal, i thought something else might have been wrong

Are you weighing and measuring everything you eat and staying within the required volume you're allowed to have? Perhaps you are just eating too much of the purees. Try limiting them to 1/4 cup and see how that goes. Then increase if you're allowed to. Good luck.

Hi all

I had a gastric bypass on the 1st of May and I am in the second week of the pureed food diet, I just thought I would ask a couple of questions to see if all is normal. I cannot really get use to pureeing everything so i have been having broths, cottage cheese, some pureed Soups and jelly (Australian version of Jello)

When eating at times i can really feel the food slowly going down and most times i get a slight stomach ache after eating for up to 30 minutes, I was getting a little worried as I am about to go onto the soft food diet from Friday and was thinking if pureed foods do this what will courser foods do.

How long after surgery did you guys experience this sort of thing and how long does it last before i start to get worried?
