Hello everyone,

I am post-op Roux n y. 8 weeks out. I am having a very hard time finding foods that my stomach will handle. I can no longer eat eggs, tuna, and other mechanical softs.

I have been trying ground beef, Turkey, chicken, and it is not working.

Working i eat or drink.. feels like a concrete brick in my stomach.

I am at my wits ends ..and so tried of crying.

Can anyone please, give me some ideas of what to do?? I sm afraid of behing hospitalized from malnutrition and dehydration.

I think you should definitely reach out to your surgical team. If you cannot keep foods down there may be something else going on. You shouldn't wait until it's too late.

Have you tried going back to liquids/purees? Did you have issues then?

Have you spoken with your Surgeon? You could have a stricture that needs to be dealt with.

You are probably eating too fast. If I eat quickly and do not chew each bite 40 times, I feel like I swallowed a ball. Take your time and chew everything to almost liquid.

Thank you everyone for you thoughts. ❤

I have been in for my 3 month check up and have had anothe EGD done. They found that there was a small flap of scar tissue covering half the opening to the new attachment site of the intestines causing the pain as the food was passing through. They hv removed it and I am doing so much better now. I hv now lost 65lbs since surgery and 105lbs from the beginning Of this whole process. I'm so happy and much more healthy now.
