Roxy68 Posted December 21, 2020 Report Share Posted December 21, 2020 New to this. Got gastric bypass 11/24/2020. 5 weeks tomorrow. What can most people eat at this time? Breakfast seems ok. Dr told me to start meat, fish and ground turkey approximately 2 weeks after surgery. I threw it all up. No bueno. Trying again at 5 weeks. Help. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Aussie Bear Posted December 22, 2020 Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 I was just told to eat "anything you can tolerate" from two weeks post-op. I really had very few problems, just scrambled eggs, which even at over three years out I can struggle with. Just take it easy and try different textures. If something doesn't go down well initially, wait a couple of weeks then try again. Everyone is unique when it comes to their food progression tolerance. Just make sure you take really small bites and chew well before swallowing. Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Roxy68 Posted December 22, 2020 Author Report Share Posted December 22, 2020 Thanks. I found out yesterday that one ounce of turkey was great. I was soo happy. Looking forward to more lil things I can eat. I don't want to be scared to try meat anymore. Aussie Bear, LeeC and Ladybugzzz86 3 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
Cheesehead Posted January 2 Report Share Posted January 2 Go slow. And chew well. If you don’t tolerate something, give it time and try again. If something doesn’t agree with you I find papaya enzymes (chewable and found in the vitamin section). Help to dissolve food.. Ladybugzzz86 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
