    Maybe a dumb question, but have you tried eating breakfast for dinner, to help figure out if it's a time-of-day/habit issue or a type-of-food issue?
    One thing that jumped out to me is that the meal you list for breakfast is actually available in the "Soft Foods" stage of the meal plan they gave me (which I'm mainly noticing because I just advanced to said phase and am looking forward to making breakfast) - that is, it's something that's supposed to be relatively easy to digest
    Makes me wonder if it's something where you're able to break down said breakfast fast enough that the fluids flushing it through you isn't as big of a deal, vs. something heavier/more solid, which you may well be flushing through without giving it time to digest.
    But that's just wild speculation, and something I'd be talking to my doc about.

    I was sleeved 12/14/17. Everything went well, I recovered nicely and I have lost 99 lbs and my BMI is currently 23; weight 144lbs.

    However, I know for certain I’m not getting nearly enough calories / day. There are so many foods I can’t tolerate (mostly all meats) and I only eat 1/4 of what I put on my little kid plates that I’m still using since surgery.

    There is only one meal that I eat everyday that doesn’t bother me; it’s breakfast. Everyday, I eat
    1 egg, 2 pieces of bacon, and 1 slice of toast and I feel fine. But anything else, I feel terrible after I eat.

    I get hungry but I feel so nauseous and bad after I eat, that I wished I hadn’t eaten. Am I eating too fast? I’m considering checking in with my surgeon to see if this is common or if I need to be checked out. Oh, I also have the worst problem with IBS. I notice that certain foods (Fried foods, Carbonation, anything breaded, and alcohol) sends me to the bathroom that there are times, I don’t feel I can hold it long enough to get to the restroom.

    Also, admittedly, I do have an issue that I’ve never been able to conquer waiting 30 mins before I drink anything. So I wonder if my stomach issues with eating could be caused by me trying to drink while I eat.

    If anyone has seen this before or knows what I could possibly be doing wrong, I would appreciate any advice you can give.

    Thanks!

    I don’t eat out, it’s so not worth it. But if I do, I get a take out box or split something with my husband or tween son
