10 day post opt gastric bypass



Recommended Posts

10 day post opt and have to say lots of questions still although I know it's Normal. Def having issues with being able to get all my fluids in because I feel so full and then my stomach hurts .. I know that when I tried the primer Protein Shakes I got sick immediately and I believe it was the milk .. which I never had a problem with before .. but now slowly introducing like almond milk and taking it slow .. but I'll admit I'm scared of food .

it's not uncommon to develop some food intolerances after surgery - although they're often temporary. Milk is a common one - and so is artificial sweeteners (especially sugar alcohols - the ones whose names end in -itol (like xylitol)).

Maybe try the clear Protein Drinks. If it’s the milk In the shake you should be fine with those. Take it slow though in case it’s the sweetener. If so there are several that are used and you may only have an issue with a certain one.

I religiously measured Water and with 15 minute timer, sipped to get the water in. Then reset 15 min timer on my phone once water was down. Slow but sure. At 4 weeks went to a kids sippy cup after measuring 10 little sips, spitting it in measure cup to calibrate intake. Now at 8 weeks 18 sips is equal to 1/2 cup. Staying there until 6 months. Still trying to drink every 15 minutes. Take water in car to drink every 15 minutes. I don't like water so use sugar free skittles flavoring. The strawberry ones I mix with low fat Greek yogurt.

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!

      Today was rough...
      I've been experiencing a headache all day today that just won't go away. I'm thinking it's now progressing into a migraine. Does anyone else get headaches from taking vitamin B12? I did some research and learned that usually a lack of B12 causes headaches. But I've noticed when I take it, I have reoccurring headaches. 😫
