i was allowed sugar free pudding, but absolutely no meat at all for 2 week after surgery. the 3rd week i can try soft grounded up meats..but not until then. I'm on day 8 and still on my 2 week liquid diet.. like i said though.. i can have pudding and Jello and things like that.. even stage 1 babyfood veggies and fruit. Please take care with trying those solid foods and wait a few more weeks. It's very dangerous to be eating that way right now.

I didn't have hives, but I had insane itching on my back, underarms and torso. I called the doc's office after day 2 of that and the phys assistant told me that the severe itching can happen because your body is depleted of oils. She told me to eat nuts (walnuts or pistachios, avocado and use olive oils in cooking.

Not everyone feels restrictions right away. I didn't. The nerves in your stomach have to heal. So, stick w your Dr's guidelines. The restrictions - which are helpful in gaining self control - will come. Also the volume and texture of the wrong foods can apparently damage the pouch. So be patient and follow the rules. Good luck!

I was on Clear Liquids and Protein shakes only for 10 days. At day 5, I was allowed half a cup of applesauce only because I couldn't swallow meds. chicken? I had my first bite yesterday at 5 weeks. Being in liquids isn't a suggestion... don't do steps early. Don't cheat, as it isn't "cheating" .... this is a lifestyle change not a diet.

If you need flavor there are plenty of ways to get it, but eating chicken is not one of them.

That sounds like an urgent call to your doctor. I've never seen or read about that and sounds like it could be an allergic reaction.

If the zytek helps you (and I hope it does!) we probably don't have the same thing going on. The PA told me no pill or allergy cream would help because (and ick, brace yourself) I was itching from the inside out. I hope you feel better soon!

My Dr had me on soft chicken and tuna a week post op soft stage 3 full liquids the first week. With that said, nothing bothered me that was on my list to try til w weeks out which was Monday everything has bothered me since except Protein shakes and yogurt. Water even bothers me. Other things seem to "get stuck" I can only describe it as chest pain after 3 baby spoon bites. Be easy on your tummy you may just not feel the damage.

It could be that you've just gotten some inflammation happening in there, in which case it's a good idea to take a couple of days and go back to the liquid diet, maybe even clear liquid diet, to give it a chance to recover. Then see how it goes after that, gradually. And just make sure that everything you swallow is of a consistency that you could suck through a straw.

      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. 💜
