This is the first time post surgery that I've felt hunger pains. I try to monitor eating every three hours as directed by my dietitian. I had a huge workout yesterday and hope that didn't trigger things to feel this way. Ugh growing pains suck! [emoji20]

Sadly, my nausea occurs almost instantly after I eat. My intestines have been completely out of sorts, too. I see my surgeon Thursday for my three month check up and will see what he says then. Hopefully, it's just growing pains! [emoji2]

Hi all! I'm coming up on my three month anniversary tomorrow, and curious to know if it's normal to start experiencing hunger pains? Also, when I eat I almost immediately get nauseous. Keep in mind that I've not introduced new, foreign, or non-bariatric foods either. I'm perplexed at best and hoping its just a temporary thing. Curious to know if anyone else has gone through this, or something similar. Thanks!

I was out this weekend and needed food, and was successful with the pintos and sauce from Taco Bell. I got it without the cheese, and it was really pureed. Also, it has 7g protein. My dietian gives it and Wendy's Chili s thumbs up approval rating.

Liquacel is GREAT for protein. It comes in a variety of flavors like grape, watermelon, orange, etc. Since it's thick like nectar, I often dilute it in my water intake. It's a nice change to water, and also provides 16 g protein per 1 oz serving. Not to mention, it's great for helping your body heal. You can purchase it on Amazon.

Hi all! I'm 10 days post RNY, and learned yesterday that I accidently tore a suture through coughing and/or sneezing. The pain is almost surreal at times. The surgeon advised to take a muscle relaxer, use a heating pad, and just rest as much as possible. Supposedly, the pain should subside in a couple weeks. He didn't seem overly concerned, and shared this is "normal." Has anyone else experienced this painful situation?
