I had surgery 7/12, and just started on the puree stage yesterday. Greek Yogurt is on my list to eat, and I ate it for Breakfast frequently before surgery so I decided to give it a try. I got about 3-4 very small bites down (even waiting between) and realized I had made a HUGE mistake. My stomach started rumbling and rebelling. I just stopped there and after a little while continued on fluids. I didn't try to push it further. It settled down after about 30 minutes but was still a little uneasy. lunch time came around and I had some pureed chicken salad. I tried that and it didn't settle either. All day I had to push the Fluid down to get enough liquid. Each sip seemed like I was pushing it down. It was absolutely the worst I have felt since surgery. Tonight I managed some mushed up cottage cheese and it seemed to sit well and do okay but I'm just sore from the day's adventures.

This is a very stressful time at work so I'm not sure if that might be what is going on, or if I'm just eating the wrong foods. Both foods were on the okay list. I really don't want to mess this up so I have been nervous all day long in fear I had done something wrong. That combined with the stress of work made for a very yucky day. I felt horrible and exhausted.

I hope this will pass, but honestly today was the first day I have questioned "what the H** did I do?"

Hi ! I've been reading these forums for months but haven't posted until now . I was sleeved July 12 th also and doing well but I have hit a stall this week and actually gained a pound this am and it's depressing me . I've lost 11 lbs since 7/12 ( well ... Now 10) ... And I really concentrated on getting all my Fluid in yesterday . I struggle to either get all the Protein in( mostly shakes) OR all the fluid in . It's time consuming !!!

And yes ... I could have gone back to work today or Monday but took another week off just because I have a busy job that I know will make it hard to get fluid in .

Just wondering how you all are doing with weight loss 2 weeks out ?

Ps to those struggling with soft food . I started with thin retried beens and cheese and it was fine . eggs don't sit well . Split pea soup was good .. Thicker than others .

It is common to stall or fluctuate. Don't stress about the scale! Get in all your protein and fluids (my plan counts Protein shakes as fluids) and the scale will move. Your body needs time to adjust. Congrats on a great start!

Today was a much better day. I went back to what worked and I had much more energy and felt great. It was much easier to get the fluids down. Woo Hoo!

Can someone please tell me why I am having terrible left side abdominal pain? I am 5 days out of gastric bypass surgery. My surgeon says it is not related to the bypass, but I didn't have this problem until after the surgery. Go figure.

Will try to make it through the weekend. Walking constantly in hopes it's gas that need to be moved on out. Thank you.

I agree with some others.. go back to full liquids. Your body isn't ready yet.

If it is gas pain try laying down on your left side and put a pillow between your legs with your right leg slightly hanging over your left, that should help push gas out effortlessly, have you tried chewable gas ex at all?

Also our docs recommend only trying one new good per day (or sometimes week) so you know for sure what's causing the upset.

I had my bypass 7/19. And i have hit a stall with my weight also. I have been told that this is usual and to just hang on. My own vomits have come when i have broken a rule. Just had shake too fast to meet protein goal before bed. Now gut is misable so i cant sleep. Ugh just tired of the boredom at home for 2 weeks with 1 more to go.

I had my sleeve May 24th and have been very successful, but it was not easy. Make sure you are not swallowing big bites and it helps to use baby silverware so you can't put that much in your mouth at a time. I was tired of my shakes too but I also did strained cream of chicken soup and chicken broth. That got me through my first week. I had nothing pureed ever. The next week it was a little lightly scrambled egg I added.

On Thursday I saw my surgeon for the first time they moved me up to full liquids however yesterday I tried a piece of fish which went down really well but made me feel extremely full and I see a lot of people complaining about not getting their liquids in I was never a big Water Drinker before I drink every other day and I was fine so I do the same thing now but I'm not having any problems with the liquid

Can someone please tell me how you are getting in your Water? It is so hard for me! I have had 2 IV's in 2 weeks. All water tastes horrible. I have tries Crystal Light, infusing it, etc. I haven't had a bowel movement in 5 days. Not sure how that could happen if I'm eating a few bites here and there. I had my surgery on June 29th and have lost 40lbs. I am so discouraged by the water and hydration, that I am regretting the surgery. I teach and go back in 3 weeks and don't see how I can do this. I am weak and have no energy. Any suggestions would be sincerely appreciated.

drink all day long. If you are constantly drinking you can get 64oz no problem.

My Dr has me on full liquids for 3 weeks. I agree with going back to liquids....your tummy is swollen. Let it rest and heal. You'll be OK. ????
