Hello everyone, I’m 9 months out from my sleeve surgery. Had an easy post op without complications. However for the last 4 weeks or so I have moments where I get such bad gas (not flatulence, but painful, loud, trapped gas). I haven’t figured out exactly what causes it although the other night I ate some hummus and I immediately knew it didn’t go down well and felt full and like I had a rock in my tummy. After that happens it’s like 12 hours of pain and huge loud thumps and thuds. Then my insides feel like they’ve went through a war and they feel pain for a couple of days. I’ve now lost a little too much weight because I’m so scared to eat anything that will cause this. My hair is still falling out, I’m not eating enough and I’m usually in pain. I have an appointment with my surgeon but in the meantime I’m desperate. Anyone else have any experience with this?

Hello Everyone! I’m getting ready to start soft foods and I’m worried about getting enough protein in. 2 protein shakes a day is the only reason I even get close but it’s hard to imagine being able to eat enough protein with such small portions. How does everyone manage?

Thank you Summerseeker! Your soup sounds amazing! Does this mean you were able to have this without blitzing it up?

Hello All! So grateful to have found this forum. I’m 5 days post-op. My dr didn’t recommend anytime on a clear liquid diet and instead put my straight into a purée diet. I’m feeling pretty nauseous and also just malnourished and constipated. I feel gross. I’m not actually repulsed by food. My husband had a plain sandwich that looked AMAZING. I tried pureeing a few recipes but have found that the easiest thing just seems to be blending up some plain Greek yogurt with some berries or 1/2 a kiwi and adding some high quality protein powder. Does anyone see any issue with me doing this each meal? I get grossed out by the prepackaged protein drinks and this feels a bit healthier. Any staple puréed meals I should try? Thinking about trying some oats.
