On June 30th, I had my Gastric Bypass reversed, due to a hernia and small bowel obstruction 😞 It was a 6 hour open procedure. I was hospitalized for 9 days and it’s going to take a bit until I fully recover.
After having some form of weight loss surgery since 2003, my anatomy has been put back to normal.
I’m sad that I no longer have a tool to help me with my weight but I’m glad that I’m alive and able to talk about it.
Thank you to my friends that prayed and supported me through this difficult time!

My surgery was July 2 surgery was fine but caught a horrible viral infection and had to be hospitalized. I'm still very ill and have to go on disability

Had my RNY on 7/2. First two days post op sucked but I feel pretty good today

Hello!!!
I am set for 7/2 at730am. I will be having gastric bypass with cholecystectomy.
I would love to be your buddy Looking for one myself. My BMI is 41 currently, and I have no other issues. Basically healthy obese person, just can never lose all the weight I have needed to with diet and exercise!

Instead of meeting for food or drinks or coffee, I now invite my friends out for a walk. My birthday is in 2 weeks and I've asked friends to take a beach walk with me instead of going out to a restaurant. Nobody has complained or even questioned it

Where is everyone from?? I’m looking for a friend!

Had RNY JULY 2015. :) I had surgery at Cleveland clinic of Florida but now live in Omaha Nebraska.

Lucky for me I've been on my own since I left home at 15.. Sure I have familyand friends but don't rely on anyone.
I've learnt to be strong to only rely on yourself and of course you can ask ppl for support or to talk to but at the end of the day this is your life.. Nobody else's!!!

Thank you all for your replies. I have found this whole experience pretty lonely, so it's nice to know that I can come here for the advice and support. It means alot.
I was put on a clear liquid diet for 3 weeks... I'm now on the puree stage for 2weeks then mashed and soft food for 2 weeks.
I lost 14pounds (1stone) in the 1st 2 weeks and stalled the 3rd week.
I'm on week 4 now, so looking for pureed food ideas.
Thanks again xxx

I have to say it's really not half as bad as I thought it would be! I hook up a pressurized ball to the PICC that contains the IV for 30 minutes each morning. I'm pretty much back to my normal routine.

I was released from the hospital a few hours ago and I'm doing much much better! Thank you all for your well wishes and prayers. It really meant a lot to me. I have a PICC line and giving myself antibiotics by IV once per day for the next few weeks. It feels great to be home again.

By Day 2 in hospitals I'm always on my laptop (heck, sometimes on Day 1). It is a often a much needed...distraction..plus I would get horribly behind if I did not. At least I connect in stealth mode as most of my co-workers are not expecting me to be working - I get quite a bit done actually.

I am 9 days away from RNY, and I have never been on a pureed diet. Are these blended in a blender? So literally you can puree anything? I'm just assuming this list is meals that have been tried and taste good? I'm on 5 day of liquid diet and that list looks so so good. I can't wait to try them out in about 2-3 weeks.

Thank you, I start my pureed diet tommrow.

Hi, I'm new to this app, so I'm unsure if I'm doing this all right.
I am 3 weeks post op, from having the gastric bypass surgery and wanted to make some friends, who have gone through it aswell. I could really do with the support, tips and advice.

**** its SITE i.e website
**** sight i.e eyesight

Thank you

I think you've definitely come to the right place. This cite is perfect for asking questions, getting support, and just plain ranting (in a positive way) to yourself out loud. Think of it as the Facebook for Bariatric support. The stories, support, and wealth of experiences here has truly been invaluable.

This sight is amazing. So much help and support. Looking forward to reading you story. Great luck with your journey

Welcome, Nay! This is a very friendly and supportive site. I'm hoping you're healing well from your surgery and look forward to seeing your posts in the forums.

I scoured the forum for tips from people and came up with a revised list of things to try. I'll be adding to this and updating as time goes on but this is a lot to go on and gives me hope as I start my pureed diet phase this weekend. Enjoy !

1. Eggface Ricotta Bake (google it)
2. Green bean casserole (bariatric style) with canned chicken
3. tuna casserole (bariatric style) with green Beans instead of peas
4. Mexican beef with cheese or beans with cheese (too carby for me--made me hungry too soon after eating)
5. Broccoli, spinach or cauliflower pureed with light cream cheese, lemon juice, s/p/g (steam the crap out of it first)
6. Smashed cauliflower with bacon and green onions (put in a food processor)
7. Any Soup or chili made bariatric style
8. Fish in foil pouches with lemon and spices/herbs.
9. zucchini sauteed with onion, tomatoes and herbs and pureed--can add any kind of lean meat.< /span>
10. yogurt/cottage cheese blends with berries.
11. Pureed black Beans with a bit of cheese
12. Yellow Split Pea Soup puree
13. Buffalo chicken Dip puree
14. Broccoli cheese Soup puree
15. Pureed Chicken salad
16. 4 Cheese mashed cauliflower
17. Hummus - Roasted Red Pepper by Sabra
18. Eggface Cottage Cheese Bake (sub out cottage cheese for ricotta + parmesan + ps mozza shreds + low carb marinara)
19. Cottage cheese flavored with taco seasoning
20. Progresso chicken enchilada soup with mashed cauliflower & ground chicken pureed
21. Scrambled egg with a little milk and topped with a teaspoon of salsa
22. Pureed Italian sausage with a little green and red pepper with Spagetti sauce
23. Applesause (unsweetened) with a sprinkle of cinnamon
24. Pureed Lentil soup with shredded cheese
25. Shiitake mushroom pizza with ground chicken and pizza sauce and cheese on top - all put in blender. Sounds weird but really good
