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

It makes me feel much better to know I’m not alone. I’m happy I’ve found a lot of juices that make me happy. They’re all fresh too so they taste super good. Thanks for the empathy!

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.

Yeah it hurts to see my parents eat normally and I can’t. I’ve never been a jealous person so the experience has been a little uncomfortable. I just need to wait it out. This is about me being healthy, and once I’m completely healthy maybe I’ll be able to have a cheat day.

Thank you. You’re right. I think once I get to the stage of actually chewing food I might feel better. I’ve always liked healthy food, I just need to pass this liquid and purée stage.

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.
