I had gastric bypass Roux N Y on May 3rd. First two weeks were pretty good, no pain or nausea at all really. Now, for the past week I seem to have nausea all the time. Everything I try to eat tastes disgusting to me and makes me want to gag. I'm barely eating anything at all. I feel like I wake up nauseated and stay that way all day. I am able to get water down, but food is almost a no go at this point. I absolutely hate the protein drinks. Just the thought of them makes me want to puke. I've tried several different ones and unflavored powders, as well as a protein "lemonade" mix, and protein water and I just can't. I'm so over this at this point. Hoping it gets better soon. It's not even the taste of food that I miss, it's the being able to eat without wanting to vomit just thinking about it.

The liquid stage is hard, but it will pass. For now, here's a laugh... just don't forget your scoop of protein powder, lol

Am I The Only One Percent?
summerseeker replied to ChreeMiriah's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
I wish I could hug you, You are having it hard. If you are in the top 1% then maybe I make the 10% club. I had nausea quite bad for the first 8 months. I felt the same as when I was pregnant. I don't think it is / was as bad as you are suffering. I could eat tiny slivers of cheese. I could eat deli meat in tiny bits and jerky. I could eat Melba toast with soft cream cheese on it. I could also manage milk and peanut butter. So this is what I lived on. I never made my protein or even the liquid requirement. I never was able to take my calcium tablet. I survived but I was so lacking energy. My family were worried about me. There are still foods that revolt me like eggs, hummus and fish. I still eat a lot of dairy. I have no room for carbs. Slowly I began to eat a little more and then the nausea became less and less. I have a huge restriction, I can only eat 50 grams of meat. I eat 4 small meals a day, down from 5. I can not eat late at night because of severe GERD, waking with acid in your lungs is nasty. I can drink big gulps now which is a blessing. Just continue to eat what you can, when you can. Forget low calorie, try a big variety, some of it you might be able to keep down. Don't give up -
Struggling… the evil voice is back.

Thank you everyone who responded, I needed that logical thinking and reassurance. @Fred in Pa i really appreciate the recommendations around exercise before and after. I’m going to try that. Also thanks for sharing your pizza moment. It makes me feel less the villain of myself and more human. @summerseeker I’ve been following along with your posts since I came here back in February and am always given a level head after reading your responses. You’re right that I shouldn’t make food the enemy; I just want to eat less overall while taking in good stuff. @summerset my team has me on 90 protein, 40 carbs and around 25-35 fat per day. I have been given the goal of keeping all of that within 800 calories until my fifth month I believe. I’m not perfect, I often go slightly over or under the 800. When I started adding exercise, my routine blew up because of the hunger Fred mentioned. I’ve been struggling to modify my intake to support exercise without exceeding the limits until I speak with my dietician again next month. I will email her today and ask if I should adjust these limits given my added activity. @learn2cook you’re so right about therapy. I do have a therapist I’ve been seeing for many years. I didn’t realize I had disordered eating until I started this process, but now I realize it has been there since I was a kid…. And she knew it too… I need to journal again. That’s a great idea. It helps calm that voice that torments me in my head, the one that simplifies food to “good” or “bad” and attempts to label me the same way. @catwoman7 great thoughts around starting weight and loss rate. It’s so hard not to compare myself. On the one hand I know losing slower will help with skin elasticity, but I also feel like I’m failing or doing something wrong until a friend like you reminds me of the reality. Thanks for that 🙏 -
Starting on the 29 of May I'm allowed 4 ozs of protein 2 cups of non starchy veggies and 2 protein shakes and all the water I want and second week all liquids, I just started last Monday to get acquainted with it and I'm doing good but this week I gave no choice but to follow it to the T I'm 16 days away from my sleeve

I was put on pureed diet after surgery.....however no fruit or veggie. High protein is my Dr focus & WATERRRR

Thanks. I’m definitely doing everything right. I ended up just having chicken broth with unflavored protein for dinner that night and it helped settle my stomach.

Hi guys - I think unread that some of you are on a liquid following your surgery. I will be on a very soft puréed protein rich diet following surgery (almost watery so it slide through a fork. Im going to spend some of the day making my meals and dividing them up. We also have to include fruit and veg prepared in the same puréed way x

Help I can't eat anything!!
ChreeMiriah replied to str8outtajerzy's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I’m in the same boat and I’m 6 months post op. I eat about three bites of something protein or really anything, veggies too and then I immediately throw up. Doctor has me on multiple medications for this and Valium to relax the muscles in my stomach. I also had to have two emergency surgery’s 2 weeks ago because my sleeve was stuck to my gallbladder with so much scar tissue so they thought that was it, but then a day after that surgery they saw that my gallbladder was bad and they had to remove it immediately. Still no change and I feel so sick all the time because I’m barely getting 300 calories in daily. I loose a pound every other day. I know for 99 percent it’s a miracle and worth it, but I have always been the 1 percent when it comes to my health. I have lost 80 pounds since Dec 19, 2022, but I feel like it wasn’t the right way and I’m worried I’m loosing way to fast. Anyone else suffering like this because my doctor says it’s unusual and I can’t find anything on the internet. Thanks for all the helpful replies in advance. If anyone out there understands my pain feel free to reach out to me through email- marsgirl22@gmail.com -
Struggling… the evil voice is back.
summerseeker replied to mcipanda's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
I don't know what's wrong with what you ate. I am allowed to eat everything. I just can not eat potato, rice and pasta. I have sugar free sweets on occasion. My hubby is diabetic so we always have them in the house. I drink strawberry milk every week on my dieticians advice, to up my calorie intake and give me a little energy boost. You said you had crust less pizza, so that's ham, pineapple and melted cheese ? I do not see anything wrong with that. I do not have to count carbs so I can not say its good or bad. I choose to count calories and my protein intake. Just to make sure I am honest. I am up to 1200 calories a day and 80 grams of protein Speak to your team, do you need to be so restricted that you feel you are cheating or sabotaging yourself when you are just eating what seams to me to be ok food choices ? As @Fred in Pa says fill up with protein, before and after exercise. My dietician would say eat some nuts. We all need to find our own way eventually. I really don't want to be the old me who thought all foods were bad unless they were an undressed salad. I just want to eat a lot less than I did. -

Fred in Pa replied to mcipanda's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
You are not alone! I had my surgery on March 1, so I’m just a few weeks ahead of you and my appetite has also returned. Please do not be too hard on yourself, because that anxiety is what drains your confidence and willpower. I have found that the exercising is what creates the hunger and deep hunger creates the cravings. So before I exercise, I have a protein portion. A shake or high protein yogurt. I also do the same right after…fill your pouch. Try to keep it full with good food and protein. I have also felt that if I properly hydrate, the cravings are fewer…so make sure you are drinking a lot before, during, and after your exercise. Good luck and hang in there, you are not alone! PS: I, too, had a slice of pizza last week and had the same mental reactions. It wasn’t worth it. -
Whatever your surgeon suggests to you since they know your case the best. Your plan sounds pretty standard. I think my liquid phase was a week, then to puree foods. I was never told calorie goals but in the beginning, he stressed to make sure I try to stay hydrated and get my protein in.

SoCal Kaiser Options Friends!
Petkato replied to Helen of LaCroix's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am with Kaiser Socal too. my surgery is tentatively scheduled for June 19th. I have to meet the surgeon on June06. I have not reached the target weight goal he had asked me to reach. so not sure if my surgery will get postponed. fingers crossed. I loved the Options classes too. I took it last year. Good luck on your journey!. -
Then, would follow what your surgeon said. The normal requirements are liquid for 2 weeks, puree for 2 week, and then soft foods for 2 weeks. High protein, low carb, low-fat, and low sugar. Does that sound about right for you?

Food Before and After Photos
Tomo replied to GreenTealael's topic in General Weight Loss Surgery Discussions
Stir fried beef over steamed rice. I first fried it in the air fryer than glazed it in a pan with soy sauce, vinegar, onions and green beans. My dish is layered: rice, onions/green beans and then steak on the top since I started with protein first. The nutritional info is what I ate (not how much I made). -

I also did it through Kaiser SoCal! I absolutely loved the Options classes. They were so incredibly educational & I felt fully prepared for the surgery. I adored their program -
May 2023 surgeries
Miss Sunshine P replied to WVJess2Less's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
It is the ricotta bake the marinara sauce is optional so is the little extra mozzarella… here is the link to the recipe I used https://bariatricbits.com/single-serve-baked-ricotta/ -
A little late to the game, but I just had my Bypass on 5/15/2023. I am flying to Italy for a 2 week trip on 6/28, so around 6.5 weeks total from surgery to trip. I discussed it with my doctor and he had no reservations about the timing, I think he would have been comfortable up to about 5 weeks out. According to my food plan, I will be on soft foods by then, and fish/salmon is one of the best "starter" meats, so I plan on having a lot of seafood while over there. I do plan on taking a healthy stash of 1-off protein powder mixes to dump into a bottle of water if I need to supplement. I would recommend requesting a hotel room with a mini-fridge and putting some yogurt/cottage cheese/protein drinks/etc in there so that you aren't constantly trying to figure out meals.

Being tired is really my biggest complaint. Besides being over the protein drinks. Which aren't going away anytime soon. The only medication I'm on is my vitamins, constipation medication, and omeprazole for GERD. I do use a C-PAP, but that's not going to cause problems. It's so hard being productive when I'm so incredibly fatigued.
-
Yeah like they said, pouch resets isn't really a thing. It's essentially just putting you back on a diet. The main one I've seen is the protein shake diet & it works because it puts you back into a basic calorie deficit. You can do that without drinking just liquids, make it a better experience for yourself!
-
I like the bariatric pal protein shots. If you get them, make sure they are the complete protein. My favorite flavors are the cran-grape and apple. They come in 25g and 15g. It's the only protein I've been able to tolerate flavor wise.
-
Fairlife shakes were the only ones I could tolerate, right after surgery. Expensive!!! But, they were my main source of protein until I was on solid food.
