I suffered with severe nausea for approx 6 weeks post op but now I'm 3-1/2 months postop and no more nausea unless something disagrees with me. You will get better. I took meds under my tongue..

I totally know where you are. It was horrible nausea for me too and terrible gas pains. Hang in there. Zofran did'nt work for my nausea. I had to have Promethazine. It's stonger on nausea but it makes you super sleepy.

Yes be careful your stomach is like a newborn stomach now and u have to take things slow and introduce things in phases to your new stomach i was sleeved dec 2015 and it was rough in the beginning. Doctor had me on liquids for 2 weeks then purees food for 3 weeks but when i started the solids i still couldn't really eat it so i stuck with the pureed. Be really careful hun! Remember introduce slow u have a newborn stomach now just like food is introduced to them and processed its the same with us. Good luck!!!

I hit the 60 oz goal fairly quickly surprisingly bc it took freaking all day just sip sip sip so that's why I decided to try the super soft Mac and cheese but learned the hard way I need to wait a little longer since it gave me diarrhea (I think? Maybe a combo of that anesthesia still releasing)

Mac & cheese? no good even when you can eat solids...carbs and fat

I would stick to the meds and work with your doc on approved diet. I see any Pasta as a possibly never food unless whole grain and then only at maitenance. I also know that anything too fatty made me nauseous.

I had to play around with a lot of different Protein options. Post op, I could not do the shakes I had been using for a week or two. broth with unflavored Isopure Protein was life saver. I would say first week Isopure protein waters were what kept me going. I didn't particularly like them but they were large amount of Fluid and 50g protein!

Try something new get samples or one bottle of different flavors/brands. It will help you feel better!

I was on Protein shakes 3 weeks then started the other stages. Yiu have ti be real careful too. No processed sugar caffeine the list my doctor gave me goes on and on. No alcohol soda ever!! I was told. Hope it gets better for you hon.

You can eventually have .5-1 glass of wine, but no hard liquor bc it goes into your blood stream a lot quicker (or something like that) since it doesn't just sit in your stomach. However, that is way down the road. I am 3 months post op and have tried a 1/2 glass and did fine, but I also got the OK from my Dr first. Soda can make your stomach stretch bc of the carbonation and give you bad gas. Also, sugar content is bad anyway. Good luck, it gets a lot easier!

Like I said before, I am 3 months out and STILL have never eaten Pasta. I want to try Quest Pasta because it has 0 grams net carbs and a good amount of Protein, but I wouldn't try it until much closer to my goal. I wouldn't ever suggest regular pasta, and definitely not before you are at a comfortable weight. You should avoid "trigger" foods because even though it will be hard to avoid, trying to eat a small amount to give you satisfaction has been proven to make it much harder because your body will crave it more. Also, I had to do 2 weeks of liquids, 2 weeks of pureed, 2 weeks soft foods, then I could slowly introduce other foods. However, I was told no lettuce (salads) until 10 weeks out. Check out theworldaccordingtoeggface.com for some awesome recipes at every stage, although the beginning stages are limited bc you are limited on what you can eat. Good luck y'all.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
