I had a RNY gastric bypass. According to my meal plan, the following foods are identified for up to 4 weeks after surgery. These are called full liquids and their definition is semi-solid or pudding like consistency. The foods are:

Strained baby cereals, cream of wheat, cream of rice, malt-o-meal, oatmeal, grits, cocoa wheat, farina, instant mashed potatoes, strained cream Soups, unsweetened applesauce, baby food fruits/vegetables, sugar free pudding, yogurt (non-fruit variety), low fat cottage cheese, low fat cheese, various Beans but not baked Beans.< /p>

sugar free popsicles, sugar free Jello and broth is allowed as a snack between meals.

I had surgery on May 19th. I'm floating in your same boat. I just want FOOD! I'm allowed to have cream of chicken Soup and cream of mushroom Soups. I can also have coffee with sugar free Creamer. If you haven't tried Adkins mocha Protein Shakes, then you should..they are good! I also am allowed Greek yogurt. I get the strawberry kind and don't get the fruit. Check with you dr or nutritionist and see if any of these are ok with them. Like I said all doctors are different. I hope things get better!!

I felt the same way I was going insane!!! Not good advice but I had a few taste of foods and made sure I did not swallow them then spit them out :/ I tried that with soda not too long ago it look delish and it was so gross way too sweet that I won't be doing that again! :)

Since I'm 6 days in... do you know if sugar free fudge popsicles n sugar free pudding I can have now?

If it is liquid form at room tempurature. So Jello, pudding, and SF Popsicles all all considered liquid. Remember to strain the Soups.< /p>

Jello and popcicles I was allowed, pudding had to be thinned with milk to a fall off spoon. Lots of Soups made with milk and blended.. Broths were allowed too!

In the same boat (same surgery date), I feel like I'm hungry and everything I eat just makes me nauseous anyway... can I eat real food again?

Keeba: I could have fudge pops after day 2 post op. I loved unflavored Protein powder in my Jello. And dannon fit&?? vanilla yogurt. The yogurt helped me stay full the longest.

Hi Tebowfan- glad to here your doing good after surgery. My date is getting close June 11th. What kind of unflavored Protein Powder are you using??

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
