Hello.i'm rosey and i had the gastric bypass surg 1 1/2 yrs ago. every dr's rules after surg are different. for me i ate sf jello,lofat yogurt,protein shakes, sf popsicles,blended soup's,babyfood,mashed potatoes etc for about 6 weeks and very small amounts of those foods,and taking the vitamins they perscribe,and water. after the 6 weeks i added chix,turkey, fish,beans,cheese(lofat cottage) applesauce,soft foods, always eating the protein 1st. about 3 meals aday, and sipping on protein shakes. i wasnt to drink any liquids during meals,no soda and i found out that i couldnt tolerate any sugar except in some fruits. it just wasnt worth the cramps and trips to the bathrm.now i can eat about cup of food at a time,i still eat protein 1st,but can eat just about anything now but still avoid sugar and keep carbs to aminimum. i dont know if its possible to do this without the surg, im so glad i did this, and have lost 100+ lbs and have kept it off. hope this helps you some what and good luck on your journey. rosey
