What is the best way to get adjusted to eating solid foods after having gastric bypass surgery?

  • Sleepy1love1 posted: 26 May at 5:16 am

    Just keep going, my docs say that it can take 3-5 months to get back to normal. any longer than that, you will want to go back to your surgeon. He or she may do some imaging studies to see if they have to stretch it out.

    What happens when you do try solids? What solids are you trying? I STILL cannot tolerate egg, 6 months post op.

    Talk to your surgeon. Worst case scenario, you have a stricture.

    Are you having problems with all solid foods or just some? Not everyone can eat solids right away. The others are right about it maybe taking 3 – 4 months to get back on track. Some peoples stomachs are just more sensitive after the surgery. I would suggest talking to your doctor, nurse or nutritionist.

    I had gastric bypass as well. They told me to try scrambled eggs, but they made me throw up. Try soft foods that have some substance, like Oatmeal or pudding. This will gradually stretch your stomach and make enough room for more solid foods.

    Make sure you eat until you are very, very full whenever you can. Your stomach is unreasonably small right now and the only way to get it to it’s “healthy” size is by stretching it.

    I know how hard it can be to adjust, but I’m one year out and eating just fine. It does get better!
