Hi sunshine and welcome. I'm 6 months post bypass now. Follow the advice your bariatric team have given you to the letter, and you won't go far wrong. The only things I struggle to eat at the moment are rice and pasta. I haven't tried any thing sweet, eg cakes, puddings, biscuits, chocolate etc, as I'd rather not find out if I can eat them or not. That's just my choice though

Hi sunshine. Im also a bander but there is lots of help and advice here. You should get strict guidlines and suggestions from the hospital so yeah do as they say and when they dont have the answer ask us or ring your provider. They don't tend to tell you how to deal with the emotions. I personally am making my food diary into a scrapbook with my feelings in it too. Xxx
