Let m correct that .... he's 17 years younger than m .

I'm not even going there but is there any possibility we accidentally discovered something?

And don't get pregnant while it's happening!

That's a REAL thing .... and the boyfriend you love now might b just the wrong guy six months from now .

If you're truly in luv ..., a few months won't make any difference. Hugs

I'm 19 years post op. I had the RNY distal. I definitely still have malabsorption. The most problematic is medications. I still have foods that are a no go most of the time. Like chicken and eggs. Im still lactose intolerant to milk. Odd thing about that is I can eat yogurt and a very small amount of sour cream lol. Cottage cheese I can only have a little. It's mostly milk intolerant since my wls. I always found it interesting how some could have the exact same surgery and tolerate different things. My late husband had the same surgery he could eat almost every. Which was bad. He went from 650lbs to 249 when he passed away he was 400lb.

+1 for tastes changing after surgery. The case of protein drinks I bought mostly went to waste. (I was going to give it away, but forgot about it until after it expired.)

And even the things you still like will go a long way, especially for the first week or two. A can of lentil soup* made 4-6 meals for me. I would also have tiny amounts of oatmeal*. Even with restrictions, you probably already have more than enough food in your cupboard to last until you're well enough to do a quick shop for yourself.

One bit of warning: grocery shopping is surprisingly exhausting. That first shop should be a very quick one to avoid overdoing it. I recommend going to a tiny store so you won't be tempted to stay too long, or go with a friend who can take over for you if you feel weak halfway through.

*These foods were allowed by my dietitian, but check with yours. I blended the soup to make it extra smooth.

Congratulations!
