I am.now 6 days post op, and I often have the desire to easy what my family is eating. They show no mercy. So what I have been doing is getting what ever they have, but my own and such on it or chew on what ever it was then spit it out as if I was chewing tobacco. I know I shouldn't but right now the liquid stage its getting extremely boring and I have about two more weeks to be in liquids. Help me somebody

Its called ruiminating, I think, its often linked with bulimia. Its a common thing that bariatric folks do.

naw just hop back on the Protein only wagon and you will be fine...Put your bode back into ketosis and the weight will come off:-)

I have heard of it becoming a eating disorder after bypass so please be careful :-) your reaching out and see the issue and that's good :-) I know it's such a broken record but get back to basics: protein and water first. I had a whole other set of issues post op... I was scared of eating and my new tummy splitting open or dumping. That and I had zero desire to eat. I was actually disgusted at people eating and the amounts for a long time... I didn't go through food mourning cus I was so sickened by people eating. I saw a psychologist to talk about my issues. Maybe reach out to your bariatric doctor and they can suggest a good therapist who has delt with bariatric patients.

I never heard of "no fruit til 75% of weight gone". Has anyone else gotten this instruction? Hope I didn't miss that from my doc. I am 9 weeks post and down 45 pounds.

Pam we all have different surgeons this is my surgeons protocol. He has his reasons for 75% weightloss before adding fruits and veggies. Most the people on this forum are eating fruits and veggies much sooner than myself. Intact I, don't see the nutritionist until 75% had been met.

Thanks ladies for being so understanding. I will get back to my basics water, protein, two spoons of oatmeal through out the day, jello, and sugar free popsicles.

I know that 2 weeks is hell but I promise it does get better. I struggled myself. Reach out on here. We have all been where you are and we have all struggled. Just set your mind to it. Maybe talk with your family about it and let them know how you feel and see if they can be a little more considerate to what you are going through. Good luck to you.

I can't have fruit until 12 months after surgery
