I'm guessing that you've had some other bariatric procedure in the past considering the fact that you have had revision surgery. So your physiology is much different than anyone else is here who hasn't had surgery previously and isn't having revision surgery.
But more importantly, I am almost thirteen years out from from RYGB and have been a member of this group for more than a year and I can tell you that almost everyone has the same diet post-op. Only a handful of people have come here with any sort of diet that seemed to deviate from the standard.
Not only is our new member having trouble with his/her post-op diet, but s/he has apparently not been nutritionally educated so that s/he can succeed from the surgery. It is imperative that s/he see a different doctor or nutritionist or both because s/he doesn't know how to eat. No one, and I mean NO ONE should be eating solid food after 2 weeks.
The purpose of a support group is not to validate someone's bad decision or a doctor's bad advice and just try to comfort someone who's having trouble. The point of a support group is that we give it to you straight, based on our own experiences, and when necessary, we always advise you to see another doctor or to see your surgeon or to seek medical advice. In this person's case I just don't know where he/she should turn. But I do know that what is happening is very dangerous and we really dropped the ball by not saying, right off, "You should not be on solid food."
I hope the poster will search for post-op food plans in the huge Archive of post that is here. Keep a food journal. Measure or weigh every single thing you put in your body. Do not eat foods that will make you sicker because they make you dump, drink that water because that is super important, and make sure you are getting all of your vitamins.
RYGB surgery is based on malabsorption. Because of that, patients are taught a new way to eat and a very specific vitamin and mineral regimen that will make up for the malabsorption of the food they are eating. Not doing this can lead to malnutrition and death. This person needs to get proper Medical Care immediately.
And it's fine to weigh yourself after surgery. Just don't do it obsessively. And of course measuring yourself before and after surgery is also a great idea. If you don't weigh yourself, you won't have any sort of idea if that the surgery has done its work.
I joined this group on March 5th, 2019, because I was having a physical problem that I felt was related to my bariatric surgery. It turned out that it was in fact related to the surgery but now I'm fine.
Please read my story.
I'm diane & I live in Seattle. After reaching my highest weight of 269 lbs. in 1995, I began to look into weight loss surgery. It took me a dozen years to qualify based on weight reached and insurance coverage. The hospital kicked in the extra 20% Medicare did not cover, as part of their...
