Hi, I had gastric bypass in November of 2020. I'm having a hard time finding support buddies. Would anyone be interested in being my buddy?

I can't do shakes either. They make me sick so my dietician and nurse told me yesterday that I can quit them. I am only week 3 so I was shocked. However, they told me I needed to drink 500mL Fairlife high Protein milk daily instead. Have you spoken to your NUT about it? If you can stomach the milk, I would definitely up that to help fluids too. It's hard!! But my dietician said if I am getting minimum 1.5L of fluids a day, that is a great start and just keep trying to outdo my previous day by a bit every day.

Also, I can not get in my fluids if there isn't ice in it. Have you tried different temperatures? Room temp, ice cold, heated up (herbal or Decaf tea). I never could handle ice prior to surgery, so it is weird but things change.

I learned ice helps me get some down sometimes but other times, my body doesn't handle the cold well. I see my NUT on Monday so I figured I would wait. I think ill try the milk to see if that helps.

Are you still having shakes or drinking high Protein milk? Those liquids count towards your Fluid intake as well. I was also told that SF Jello counted towards Fluid intake because it turns to fluid in your stomach.

Total fluids, what are you hitting?

I've been having a hard time with Protein Shakes in general. I cant keep them down. I do have high Protein milk but don't drink that as often as I should. This whole process is a learning experience

I'm 6 weeks post op and have gained about 6lbs. I'm thinking its from not reaching my Water goal but not really sure. I get about 2/2.5 16 oz. bottles down a day. Which I know is definitely not enough. Anyone have any ideas on how to get more water in? I use the flavor packets but its still hard to get down.

Have you had your follow-up appt with your surgeon yet? I'd mention it. Doesn't sound right.

The last time i saw them was at my 2 week post op. I don't see them again until after the new year.

Everyone loses at different rates. When my mom had the gastric bypass 6 years ago, she started out slow too and then maybe 2 months after surgery she was steady losing weight . It all depends on the person.

What stage are you at in your plan? You are probably trying to eat too much at a time, or food that your pouch can't tolerate yet. When I was a month out, I was eating broth, Protein Shakes, cottage cheese, refried Beans thinned with broth, very small amounts of lentil/bean Soup, 1-2 oz of calf liver, or soft fish. About 400-450 calories a day.

I'm in the pureed stage. I've been eating only Greek light yogurt and mushed foods basically. I take like 2-3 bites and feel sick.

Hi,

I had gastric bypass 11/17/20 and every time I eat anything, I get super nauseous and feel terrible. Is anyone else having this issue? or does anyone have any recommendations?

My doctor just cleared me for puréed foods but I’m still struggling to get my Protein in.

I had gastric bypass on 11/17 and am looking for some support people. If anyone is interested!
