Weird Pre-Op Symptom - Already Feel Banded!



Recommended Posts

Does anyone else have this?

I have trouble swallowing first thing in the morning.

I'm on the pre-op diet (two shakes and a Lean Cuisine) and eating the whole Lean Cuisine makes me feel sick.

I have head hunger, but surprisingly little stomach hunger.

If I eat too fast or take large bites, my stomach hurts and I get incredibly nauseous.

I had such bad gas last night, I felt like I would explode! LOL. Never had it that bad before. Needed to sort of -- arrange myself -- if you know what I mean :unsure: to allow the air to escape.

I'm sure it's all a big mind-freak -- I'm feeling "sympatico" to my own future self, but it's super weird...

Any other weirdos out there experiencing the same thing? :rolleyes:

The pre-op diet really was rough, but cant say I had the same issues.

Could just be a tummy bug or something.....unless a surgeon snuck into the house and banded me up while I was sleeping!

I too am on the pre op diet. I am not having issues with swallowing but I do find my self feeling sick after I eat even if its a small healthy meal. I cant say whats going on but I can say I over think everything and I am constantly thinking about after the surgery how to eat and all that I think it mental for me my brain is making me feel the way I do. Wishing you the best of luck

That's what I figure it is -- me thinking so much about the surgery, and reading so much about it, I've developed the symptoms! :lol:

I was feeling nauseous throughout the whole pre op diet! I didn't get to eat anything, strictly liquid diet, but boy oh boy did it make me queasy, gassy, and dizzy.

Well, I'm not HAPPY for you, but glad I'm not alone! :-)

Haha I thought maybe I was lactose intolerant? I've never noticed before because I never drank milk, ate yogurt, in excessive amounts until the pre op diet and thats when it all started. But I was very weak from not getting enough nutrition in, I skipped some Protein shakes because they made me so sick and I almost blacked out from showering! Scary experience! I hope it starts to get easier for you soon and that you don't have much longer to go on the pre op diet!

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
