I'm 7 weeks post op and actually gained 1 lb this week! I feel like a complete failure. My husband thinks it is due to the fact I'm eating thinks like shrimp with light breading, wings with no skin, a two x two inch piece of chicken pram. Things just were tasting too bland. So, maybe I will never reach my personal goal even with bypass surgery.

Well I started incorporating carbs into my diet at 7 weeks and I have been doing fine. I add only the carbs allowed (whole wheat/multrigrain bread/cereal and 1 tortilla) I dont have this everyday but I do try to have no more than 40g carbs a day. Sugars I stay below 20g and fats at about less than 10g..I do walking everyday and drink up alot of Protein. I think you may want to pay attention as to how the foods you are eating are being prepared. Also watch out for sodium...Wings are high in fat....breaded shrimp (is its baked?) and how much does that 2x2 chicken weight...My Protein is at about 2oz. still so I have to weigh all my food...Its not easy , but you will get there..its just finding the right balance.Follow your menu plan from doctor and you should be fine too =)

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
