I have already lost a lot of weight since the gastric by pass two months ago. but I still cannot eat solid food. I can sometimes keep a liquid soup down. Pureed food just resulted in more vomiting. First thing in the morning, before any food, I vomit up masses of mucous. Due to all the weight I have lost my blood pressure has fallen dramatically.
