I am 3 months post op. I had a gastric bypass due to a hiatal hernia. At first I was really afraid to tell my family and friends and last but not least my co-workers that I was having surgery. I did not seek out gastric bypass surgery. But, after 2 consultations with 2 different surgeons I...

Hello, I am 1 month post op. My surgeon gave me the green light to start eating "regular" food this week. I've been doing really well. I have tried some of my favorites again without any problems...except for today. I had a few bites of stew made with pork meat and I guess I didn't chew the...

Hi Karan, I'm still doing well. I see Dr. Tyner on Tuesday. I believe I will get his blessings to go ahead and start eating regular food again. I haven't really gotten on the scale. I'll wait and see what his scale says. And then I think I'll only weigh myself once a week at home. I...

I am 4 weeks post surgery. I see my surgeon on Tuesday for my second follow up. I should start regular foods this week with his blessing. I too had an emotional time right after surgery. I wanted to dry all the time. I questioned my decision to have the surgery. I felt like I had given up...

Hi Melissa, I am 4 weeks post surgery. I had a HUGE hiatial hernia as well. I never went to the surgeon and asked about gastric bypass. I went to the surgeon to fix my hernia. But, after 2 consultations with 2 different surgeons, they convinced me that gastric bypass was the only way they...

Hi. I bought the Body by Vi shakes way before I ever had my gastric bypass surgery. I had a very large hiatal hernia and could not drink the shakes. When I went in for my pre-surgery nutrition counseling, the dietitian said that there was not enough protein in the shakes so not to use it...

Hi. I'm in Albuquerque. I had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday, August 26. Finishing up week 2 on my full liquid diet. I start the pureed/soft food diet on Monday. Can't wait to make a pot of pinto beans and red chile and pureed the heck out of it. Too bad no tortilla is in the picture...

Thank you for the fun feedback. I know all of these emotions will soon pass. I know what got me to the point of needing this surgery. And even though I am a food lover and a great cook, I know I will get through this. I can't wait to start cooking and eating my own healthy food. Being from...

I had my gastric bypass surgery on Monday, August 26th. I am still on a full liquid diet for another week. I am finding it hard to drink enough liquids. I hate protein shakes at this point in time. I found that if I put a scoop of unflavored protein powder in my cup of broth that it is not...
