Is my life ruined for ever due to my weight loss surgery?

I sincerely hope you get better, it's been two months now, maybe your body takes longer to heal.

I'm better. After 2 dilation I can finally eat and drink better. Still on semisolid but I'm so happy to feel better and more energy. Thank you for asking.

Good to hear! If you're having issues with Vitamins like I did (made me nauseous), try there:

I purchased the Men's and have had 0 issues, no more nausea or a feeling where the pill is stuck in my throat.

My bad. You are 7 weeks post-op not 2 weeks, so Protein bars are not out of the question. One of the problems that I had after surgery was that I became lactose intolerant. Whenever I drank milk, it was instant gas pains and a quick trip to the bathroom. Some Protein powders and Protein shakes contain milk products. So I had to consume a lactose free Protein powder and mix the powder with Water and not milk. This condition lasted a couple months after surgery and then disappeared.

It is very hard to meet the protein requirements during the early stages after surgery without relying on Protein Shakes. There are many different products out there. I had to experiment until I found one that I could tolerate.

Are you able to tolerate Soups, such as egg drop Soup? If so I have included a few recipes in a short article that I wrote about my experiences. http://www.breadandbutterscience.com/Surgery.pdf

Hi James, THANKS so much for the wonderful article. I am 7days post op from bypass and am still looking for things that work and tweeking things that don't work for me. For the most part, it has all been smooth. But my journey has just begun. I am so thankful and appreciative for this tool. I know there will be many bumps in the road. I'm going on line today to order the muscle milk and the Quest bars. I love anything coconut as well. I'm gonna try your egg drop Soup. Once again I appreciate your willingness to share so much of your journey with us.
