I'm not sure what is normal after the surgery because I didn't have enough time to experience it before I was rushed to the hospital because a hernia got looped in my intestine. The pain after that was excruciating. However I don't think you have anything to worry about but I would check with Dr to make sure everything is fine.

I hope you feel better soon. I'm only 4 months out but I'm already regretting my decision. Its scary that this is happening to you a year out.

Thank you for your help!

I'm sorry you're experiencing some difficulties right now. You are right I should focus on the good changes. Thanks!

How far long are you? Are you doing better?

Wow! From what I'm reading from other posts dumping is a nightmare. I'm struggling with food getting caught in my throat. Do you regret getting the surgery? Right now I do. How much weight have you lost?

Thank you!

I had the sleeve but I had it revised to the gastric bypass. I have gone 10 days once without having a bm. I don't have cramps I feel nothing like I don't have to go.

Anyone eat carbs like bread and are OK with it? I'm wondering if further in my journey if I'll be able to have it again.

Thanks! Great suggestions.

That is AWESOME!!! Congratulations!

What surgery did you have that they said you don't dump. Wow!!! You went through all that. That's terrible!

That's good to know. Thanks!

I do think I eat too fast and don't chew enough. I'll walk from now on to help it go down. Thanks!

Thanks everyone this is extremely helpful!

i sometimes still have issues w/chicken when it's super dry. i do tend to do well with it, but when i do have issues, i just take smaller bites and chew it to mush. give yourself some time and try to mix it with something to give it more moisture (some green beans/spinach or something w/moisture in it)

I had my revision on 6/29. chicken, even with my sleeve, was always a difficult Protein for me to get down. Have you tried a softer protein? tuna with light mayo? Egg salad? Ground pork in spaghetti sauce? Maybe try something else besides chicken. I can eat most things now at nine weeks post-op.

a lot of people have trouble with chicken at first - but can eat it later on. It's the dryness. as I recall. Sometimes they can eat the thigh (which is moister) and/or chicken with some kind of sauce on it - and sometimes they just have to wait awhile. You'll likely be able to eat it again at some point.

I had the gastric sleeve in 2012 and I just had my revision to the bypass on July 27th. So far I am regretting it. I was told I could move on to solids. I have tried eating chicken but it gets stuck in my throat and I have to throw it up. I'm scared I'll never eat normal again. The sleeve was much easier than this. I never had this problem. Will things get better soon?
