Good Afternoon Beth, I am on my 3rd week too. I have a sheet prepared by my surgeon that instructs me exactly what to eat for 8 weeks. Fortunately, I did not have to puree my food. I had no problem eating 2 tablespoons of soft foods the 2nd week, mashed potatoes, yogurt, applesauce. On the...

Good Morning Anthony, There is not much more I can say because you received excellent advice from the above 5 members. Please do no consider yourself as a failure...you took the step to have the surgery and lost 75 pounds!! You just veered off the road and need to get back on course. Please...

Hi Pat, Cottage cheese, yogurt, applesauce, and mashed potatoes were on my 2nd week. My 3rd week is 1/4 cup tuna or 1/2 scrambled egg and 2 crackers. I like them both equally but eating 1/2 scrambled over 15-20 minutes is no fun because it gets cold. So far I have been lucky that I am able...

Hi Pat, Thanks for writing back. My 1/4 cup tuna with mayo and 2 crackers was a feast fit for a King!!! Have a fantastic day. Hugs, Nancy

Oh I would never do that...my doctor gave me a green laminated sheet of paper which spells out exactly what I am to eat for the next 7 weeks. I had to promise not to deviate from the sheet. I have no desire to end up back in the hospital. You have a Happy Easter and good luck on you journey...

Finally I get to eat solid food today!!! For breakfast I had 1/2 of a scrambled egg and 1/2 piece of toast. For my Easter dinner, I shall be dining on tuna and 2 crackers while husband gets to eat ribs, cornbread casserole, and okra gumbo. Doesn't seem fair :-) Good luck on your journey...

Thanks Frank for getting back to me. I meet with my surgeon next week and I hope he can shed some light on this. Lord knows I do not want to have to take another pill. I was so glad to not have to take my high cholesterol or diabetes meds after my surgery!! Good luck on your journey. Take...

Good Afternoon All, I am on my second week of post-op. I had blood work today from both my bariatric surgeon and my primary care physician. My primary physician's office called me back and said the doctor was concerned because the blood work results indicated a high level of uric acid. He...

I found this at another site... Dumping syndrome is one of the most common conditions that occur after gastric bypass surgery. Dumping syndrome is characterized by nausea and vomiting, weakness, fatigue, sweating, diarrhea (sometimes severe and right after eating), and feeling faint. Food...

Good Morning Stacy, I read your post with interest. I love soda and really miss it :-( We have a beer company in town that makes the absolute best root beer ever. I have an idea...can't you use root beer flavoring in water? Take care and have a wonderful weekend! Hugs, Nancy

Congratulations Donna! You and I had our surgery on the same day! I read with interest your post and I had to get out my drink and green sheet (my bible of what I can eat) and compare data. I am supposed to drink 4 ounces of my protein drink 3 x day. I am drinking Atkins Advantage - 11 ounces...
