Hey Jocelyn, My name is Tracy. I also had a bypass in march and i am about a month out. Right now I am supposed to be on a full liquid diet. I find that I get nauseated if I try to eat anything more than what is on my diet. Or try to drink and eat at the same time. It does not mix well. You are supposed to wait 30 minutes in between. I know it is hard because you think you are hungry but your body can't tolerate what you want to eat and then you stay nauseated or throw up. At least I do. I also don't tolerate drinking Water, I prefer ice chips. Just find something you like ( Vitamin Water, Powerade zeros ) to get your fluids in.

Hi Jocelyn, my name is Ebony I'm 24 and had the bypass on Dec 16th of last year starting at 226 I've recently hit my 4 month mark and I'm currently at 157. I used to have the same issue as you when it comes to being nauseous but I quickly learned it was because I didn't wait the whole 30 minutes in between drinking and eating. Every since surgery I barely can get in 48 Oz a day if that, it happens to a lot of us. If you'd like to inbox me I could use a friend as well.

      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!!
