Anyone who has constipation: eat an orange.

Hi guys something weird is going on. Now I’m 5 weeks out and for some reason I feel real hunger. Like my stomach would be grumbling but I really wouldn’t feel like eating because eating is just annoying now. Sometimes I would eat and 20 minutes later my stomach would be growling again. It’s really disheartening. I don’t know what to do.

It’s easier for my stomach to handle cheat foods which is sad. I ate half of a square of brownie today, since I’m on purees I just used as much saliva and chewing power as I could and it went down pretty good. Yesterday I tried to eat some mashed food and I threw up. My stomach doesn’t want me to eat what I’m supposed to at this point XD

Totally connect with how you’re feeling, though I still have another week and a half of liquids left. I went nuts with sampler packs and the skinny mixes zero calorie flavors so I have tons of variety and interesting things to drink. I figure that eventually we’ll get there but it’s okay if it takes me/us longer than planned! I love millie’s sipping broths, tried the spicy tortilla! Yum!

I’m supposed to be on pureed foods but I’ve realized that I can’t handle it yet. So instead I bought a lot of juices and I’m happy with them. Im starting to honestly feel like I won’t ever be able to move on from liquids. Is this normal? Im about to complete three weeks post op tmw and enter my fourth.

I only lost weight my first week... I’ve been stuck on 116ish kg since then (I’ll be finishing my third week soon). Yesterday I went to the Water park for some exercise and fun. Didn’t last long though, I got extremely fatigued after about 2 hours. I’m on pureed now and each time I eat my tummy gurgles. Sometimes I even feel a sharp pang when I eat. Also a loooooot gas whenever I eat. That’s my update so far.

It will be a full two weeks soon and I still feel very nauseous, is that normal? I can’t bring myself to drink too much Soup all I can do is put ice with juice and drink that. Idk what’s happening anymore.

I can relate. I was sleeved on July 10th and coming home I was very depressed, especially when I saw my kids eating regular foods. It’s a loss and we have to come to terms with the fact that we will never eat the way we used to again. I am dying for some potato chips but I know it would be counter productive for me to have any. It will get easier. Hang in there.

My friend had her surgery last August and she struggled in the beginning. She cried a lot. She had regrets. But as her stomach healed and she was able to actually chew food it got better. Our relationship with food will absolutely change but remember why you did this.

I got my sleeve done on July 23rd. I’m feeling very sad now. I miss food. It’s the only thing that brought me comfort and I can’t eat it anymore. I’m glad I’m losing weight but it makes me so sad that I can’t eat. Does it get better? Will I be able to have some of my comfort foods eventually? I really don’t want a lot I just want a bite. I don’t know. Maybe I’m being stupid.
