Well, there is no going back so I suggest you try so tuna with fat free mayo, Soups of any kind are always good, scrambled eggs good source of Protein. You must get your Protein and liquids in daily. It is still a struggle for me with liquids and I am out 3 months.

You can do this, I know you can because I. Am doing it. I am a slow loser because of my age and inactivity.

Find a high protein food that you like and eat it.

Best of luck and things will get better.

Smashed fried or boiled plantains? Try something easier? eggs, cottage cheese, beans.. foods that have Protein which your body needs. Drink your Water so you're properly hydrated and eating will be easier..

My coordinator suggested canned pumpkin with cinnamon and nutmeg. Kind of like pumpkin pie filling, but don't get actual sweetened pumpkin. Full of Protein and goes down smooth. Haven't had surgery yet, so I don't know about it personally....

You have to make yourself eat. It's not fun but its temporary. It's not forever but if you do not feed your body the nutrition it needs you will get very sick.

Call your dr and eat Protein and yogurt and things of that sort.

Good luck!

I agree with the other posters that you have to make yourself eat but I totally understand food holds no interest for me at this point. I am starting to hate my Protein shakes. Bleh! So far I only like a bit of yogurt and apple sauce. I'm trying to make myself excited about more savory foods but they grow cold before I can even finish them. I would be happy just drinking Water all day. A few sleevers have talked about heavily seasoning food, you might try making your food more flavorful with spices to see if that helps. Good luck.

At least get your fluids in and purée some chicken and put it in chicken broth. Stay hydrated and safe

Been there. For now, do your best to get in all your fluids, and as much Protein as you can. I dilute my Protein Drinks with a cup of milk in the blender. This might help you get it down easier.

Before you know it, you will get hungry and have cravings for food. Hopefully they will be good foods that you can eat.

My problem now is being sad that I can eat, and do like food again, but get full super quick!

Many told me it would pass, (which it did) and it will for you, too. Hang in there.

I had problems with all Protein mixes...premixed ones were much easier for me. Muscle milk lite was easiest for me to drink. ,(pour into mug though) Counted on them and Cannon Fit and Easy Greek yogurt to get me by.

Recently I found Ensure Extra Protein shakes..not cheap but easier and tastier for me to drink.

Appt with NUT tomorrow ....gonna show one to her and see if she approves.

I am at 6 weeks and having the same issue. I have found that if I mix pears or peaches with cottage cheese I can eat it without issue. Just remember FF cottage cheese and no sugar added fruit.< /p>

Yuck. I can't stand fat free dairy. It's like a sin to me. I do reduced fat everything except I do drink skim milk and ff fage Greek yogurt.

Some stuff that helped me: scrambled egg wit milk in it and our some spicy stuff on it to waken up your taste buds! Made a three bean chili Soup and puréed it...from William sanoma and is delic!, making your own tuna salad is also really good cause you can put in the flavors you like. PB2 mixed with some greek yogurt or with some low sugar jelly.

Good luck!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

      2. Selina333

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

    • LeighaTR

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
