7 days post opp and I think I ate too much



Recommended Posts

My nutritionist said I could add thinned grits today. First of all, I don't think they were thin enough. I only ate a cup like directed, but I think it was too much. I don't have pain per se, but it's uncomfortble. I feel like I need to burp, but I can't. Am I going to mess something up!? I am freaking out!!!

You are probably not ready for grits yet....sometimes they suggest things and once You try them, they don't go down too well. i'm over 3 months out with my surgery and I just started eating grits 2 weeks ago,and i was still nervous. you will be fine

I feel like this is probably what restriction feels like when you eat too much, but I know my body needs some more healing too though.

I think what you're feeling means you're full. When you get that feeling, stop eating. Nothing to worry about. Just take it easy.

You're not completely healed for about 6 weeks.

I am seriously amazed right now. I've never eaten that little of food and been this FULL. It feels like I ate a TON.

LOL, ^^^ welcome to Lapband life!! It's an amazing feeling when you only eat a 1/4 of what you ate before and feel full. It also depends on what you eat, remember to eat more Protein cause the smoother the food is the easier it is to go down and the more you're able to eat.

I am so jealous. We were banded the same day, but I don't see my doc until Tuesday. I was told that I can't advance my diet until after I see him. I am sooooo tired of Protein shakes; I have been living on nothing but them for three weeks.

I don't see my doctor again. I was banded 9 hours away. I am getting my fills at a fill clinic here. The doc said I could call anytime and I am still in their program, just online, Skype and phone.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
