Roxy68 Posted January 30 Report Share Posted January 30 (edited) Hi. I am 9 weeks out gastric bypass. Before, I was able to eat 2-3 oz of turkey breast, ground turkey and a couple of shrimp . At about 5-6 weeks, I began to throw up everything I used to be able to eat. I can still eat "my safe foods" like lentils, pinto and black beans- about 3.5 -4oz each. I use low fat cheese. I tried salsa and I threw it up, too.. I wonder if I try those foods again soon, will my stomach will be able to handle it or not? I just got so tired of throwing up. I know I need to try again. If it doesn't go well, will I become a vegetarian? Me? I am Mexican American and am sad I won't be able to eat certain foods, although minimal. I am fine not having a tortilla. Have a visit with my surgeon next week. Hope for good news. I am afraid to try new things. I want to eat fruit or vegetables like a cucumber, or a salad, but am afraid of throwing up. Help anyone?

Res Ipsa Posted January 31 Report Share Posted January 31 Relax. It is going to be fine, The post-surgery period can be rough, but it gets better. I am many years post gastric bypass surgery and can eat almost anything in moderation. We are here to support you. Roxy68 1 Quote Link to post Share on other sites
