I’m 10 weeks post gastric bypass surgery. Can’t really eat anything- weight loss is slow infact some days scales go up!! I’m exercising daily. What should I be attempting to put in my mouth???

Sorry to hear you are experiencing issues. So as to enable responses tailored to your question you may want to give some more information, such as why you can't really eat anything...are you experiencing vomiting, acid relux or dumping most or all the time you eat? Not able to actually eat more than a few small spoonfuls at a time? Just can't tolerate eating...texture, taste or smell is turning you off? What foods have you been eating? What guidance have you had from your surgeon or dietician with the issue?

At 10 weeks I was still on purees and was eating a lot of soft scrambled eggs, greek yogurt, refried Beans and various Soups.

weight fluctuations are normal - they're due to things like Water retention and how full your intestines are. And yes - weight loss does slow down quite a bit after the big drop the first month or so. Plus you may be dealing with occasional stalls, too, which are also very common. If the fluctuations are playing with your mind too much, try weighing just once or twice a week - then you'll be more focused on long-term trends and won't be distracted by the daily fluctuations.

I’m experiencing pain on eating and after eating for 2-3 hours. I was sick for the first time the other night after attempting to eat some chicken breast. I am very windy after eating burping but does not feel like acid reflux like before surgery!
I’m only able to eat a few spoonfuls. Can’t eat any meat Pasta and it also sometimes just depends on the day!

May be worthwhile checking in with your surgeon or dietician for some assistance.

Perhaps for the moment scale back to soft foods??

Hopefully some members who have had a bypass may have some relevant experience or information to share
