This Friday will be two weeks since my bypass, and I think I overdid today. My surgery was done laporascopically, and I've been almost pain free for a couple of days; however, after sweeping and mopping today, I'm hurting in my left side again pretty badly. I hope I didn't rip something loose or something. My husband wants me to just lay around for a few more days just to make sure everything is ok.

Also, I'm a little concerned that I can eat more than just a few bites. I can eat about 4 - 6 ounces of light yogurt, sugar free pudding, or natural applesauce. My neighbor had the bypass in March and he could only eat a few bites at a time. Am I eating too much? I've lost a total of 29 pounds since I began my Pre-op diet on July 11th.

Yeah I think that if your eating 4-6 oz. At a time, that might be too much, just now. I eat about 2oz at a time and I'm 6 months out. But then again Idk, everyone's different.

Yes, I would say too much. I think we're at 1oz 3 x daily for at least 3 weeks post op. you do or want to stretch it. Possibly snack on Popsicles to feed your brain hunger

Ok. Thanks for your help.

I'm the same way. I can get in more then most people too... But still don't make my calorie goal. Or protein. Don't like food anymore lol but am not losing like other people either I seem to b not losing its weird. O well whenever u see the nutritionist or surgeon ask them about it! I believe ur new pouch is suppose to hold 4-6 oz that seems to b what I exact get in.

I can have 2-4 ounces. Depends on what I'm eating. If it's tuna I can only handle 2 ounces but pureed chili I can eat 4. I'm also not losing. I'm seeing my surgeon today because I'm retaining lots of fluid. Hope he has some answers.

This is another case of each surgeon being different. I am supposed to eat 1/4 cup 6 times daily and am only 2 weeks out.

It's funny how each surgeon is different. I'm supposed to have 1-2 oz of soft protein along with my protein shake. Sadly the 2 oz don't make me full. However well see how tuna works for me.
