Strange Eating Day Was It To Much



Recommended Posts

I had a strange day yesterday... I took three different acid reducers cause I was having bad heartburn and doc told me a combo to try and bang it worked no heartburn but what replaced it was hunger(also the upset stomach feeling left) I ate a god awful amount yesterday slowly and over hours but I was allways hungry I don't get how I am four weeks out Monday and so far little if any problems eating just till now not hungry

Breakfast -1 egg 1/4 cup cheese omelet

shake 11oz 40g

lunch baked tilapia 2 ounces 1 ounce potatoes

Shake 11oz 40g

dinner 2 chicken tenders baked and 3 carrots

snack five flat bread crackers with laughing cow cheese

Is that to much I never felt pain or discomfort everything was nibbled on slowly.

I bet the hunger is tied to your acid. If you can get that acid under control, I'd be willing to bet that you'll feel less hunger.

Does the doc have your on a PPI? That's what I take and it works really well for me. I hope you can find the right medication, because it can be like a night-and-day difference. I don't think your food intake looks super excessive. Typical for someone on full regular foods - maybe at the high end of things for 4 weeks out, but still within the range of normal consumption I think.

Since you are only 4 weeks out, it is possible (but not super likely) that you can still have some numbness from the surgery and not really be able to feel how full you are.

Good luck! I hope you find a good solution to your acid!

You aren't listing your Water in there, but I hope you were drinking water in between your food. Your food doesn't actually look too bad. I have days where I'm "hungry" even now. I just try to make sure that whatever I eat is Protein heavy and it looks like you're doing well with that.

I am 4 weeks on Monday I got all my liquids in and even had another 35g shake before bed just to get max Protein in. I go by as much protein as I can so when I can't I might have a buffer

Yes I am on zantex twice daily pepicide and priolsec. Before that the heart burn was so bad I couldn't eat and felt nausea all the time day one heart burn free and I was hungry. In fact I find my self physical hungry every two hours but not head hungry it feels like a chore to eat even things I liked before don't taste as good.

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
