Anyone else had problems with diet 2 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

Im 2 weeks post op. I was looking forward to adding protien and yogurt to my diet but im not able to tolerate anything besides the clear liquid diet. Has this happened to anyone else? My stomach is bloated all day long when i try to incorporate protien shakes, dannon light and fit greek, diet v8, and fat free cream Soups.< /p>

Oh yes, I was in your spot at week 3 through week 6. I am week 8 now and it was week 7 when it truly got better. Keep the fluids and shakes going and know that this will pass. Also, oddly enough, I started Quest Protein Bars at week 6 and I felt so much better. They are sugar free, have 20 grams of Protein and I went yo GNC as they have them buy 2 get 1 free so I tried them prior to buying a box. I like brownie, chic chip chunk and the caloric range on the ones I have is I hunk 170 to 210 calories. 23 carbs as well. Good luck I only eat 1 per day

@@VPAPNYC yes as far as I know it is still going on. They helped me get in some much needed nutrition when I needed it most. My nut loves them and my trainer loves them too.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
