One of the Baractric Dr.s talked o me for a good 45 mins a month after surgery when I was having trouble eating. He said it's going to take a good 6+ months to totally heal & feel like yourself mentally & physically. He said we cut & transferred our intestines! Your new stomach needs to adjust to all new food which takes time. He stressed to me o be diligent with my diet, only eat what my program says... he made do much sense to me & I have adhered to his advise! Exceot for yesterday, I had a Michelob Ultra...bad but it was awesome!

aren't we aloud to drink after a year I don't even crave food but I just want the pain to go away

Hey! I had surgery Tuesday and stayed 4 days too. I was nauseous and in a lot of pain. Just got home last night. I was really regretting this too. Are you feeling any better?

I had surgery on 4/26/17. I'm having a problem on food choices. I'm keeping it very simple. Applesauce, I did mash up 1/2 sweet potato today. It was yummy.

Hi Nana - you encourage me - my bypass is the 25th of May - currently on my liver reduction diet -

Hi MK94
I am 11 days post op and finally turned the corner. My energy beginning to return, and my full liq drinking going well. I had several days where I was depleted energy wise because my surgeon wanted me to focus on fluids not protein and it wasn't enough for me. Once I increased protein consumption, I was a new person! Thank goodness. I was wondering how I would ever get back to work if I couldn't get off the sofa?!
Just stay the course and all will get better. I'm down 23 lbs in 3 weeks, hoping to get a good walk in today.
Best of luck to all!

I'm struggling with protein drinks! Makes me so sick I have to lay down. Any suggestions. 3 weeks out from surgery.

Did you add protein powder to your applesauce and sweet potato? I would encourage you to keep up your protein intake and minimize easy to swallow carbs as the protein will do a better job with healing and energy levels.

Which protein drinks are giving you trouble? And what do you mean when you say they make you sick? And are you sipping or drinking them? With more info we should be able to give you some guidance.

I'm sipping. I think I was over drinking with the 11 ozs. I just drank a Enjury with 1 cup of no fat milk and this seems to agree with me better. Thanks
