5 Weeks out and just threw up my eggs. :-(



Recommended Posts

Anyone else grossed out by certain foods? It feels like a hassle to eat right now and nothing sounds good! I have done well so far with no complications and have lost 29 lbs! I'm one lb away from ONEDERLAND! So I'm not meaning to complain but I feel like I did when I was pregnant. I can't even stand the smell of food! Did anyone else go through this? What got you through it? The only way I am getting in my Protein is to add a premier vanilla into my hot tea and coffee. And I'm definitely NOT pregnant btw.... Thanks for any advice anyone can give! It sucks since I should be moving onto regular food soon and can't stand to look at it or smell it!

I just said that to my husband last night, I feel like I did when I was pregnant. I will think something tastes great, eat it three days in a row and then it totally grosses me out. I really don't have any advice but will be looking for any advice that is posted.

I have not had any reactions to any foods I have tried yet. I do eat pretty slow and wait before taking another bite. Also, because I read so many posts with people not being able to tolerate eggs, I bout egg beaters and make them soft.

It comes and goes, honestly. My stomach is definitely more sensitive than it was before surgery, where I ATE ALL THE THINGS! Now, my eating habits are pretty pedestrian. I keep to a diet that's based on deli meat, dairy like cheese, yogurt, and cottage cheese, greens and the occasional bit of fruit. I'll deviate from that occasionally, but really my diet's pretty plain these days. Since it's just me, with nobody to eat my leftovers, I don't really care to cook because it'd go to waste by the time I could get around to eating it. I eat what agrees with me and don't really worry about it. It's kind of a nice change from inhaling everything in sight.

Agree with gamer, there are days that I really just don't want to eat anything at all. eggs have been the only thing that has remotely made me nauseous. My nutritionist doesn't seem to know why. But, that's what I had for Breakfast this AM and it was fine. Try a little sugar free Torani Syrup in your premiers. I love the sugar free caramel and sugar free english toffee.

Yes! I am also 5 weeks post op! Certain foods that I loved before I can't stand the smell of. I love eggs and have tried them several times and just can't eat them! Soup! Oh my geez the smell of Soup gags me!

It takes a little while for some of us, others are lucky. I would get sick at the slightest thing....and don't get me started on the slimes! I had major buyers remorse for about the first 3 months...and then wasn't happy but wasn't mad for the next three months. Finally about 6 months out I began feeling great about the sleeve. I can eat anything I want now, except if I try to eat a lot of sweets it makes me queazy, but I consider that a good thing! Lol

Yes, there are things I ate before surgery that are WLS friendly that I may never eat again, like lunch meat. Don't know why that is.

I can tolerate pretty much anything at 9 weeks out, and eating has become less of a chore and I find myself enjoying food again little by little. The only thing that makes me nauseated is when I eat too fast. This has happened to me 3 times. You'd think I would learn, but I am so impatient. Gotta work on that.

Sounds like you're doing fab!

I'm 12 weeks out, but I was feeling just like you at 6 weeks out. I posted here and everyone told me it was a phase and that it would pass. It took about a month, but it did pass. Just do your best to get in all your Protein and fluids, that's what I did. I didn't want my weight loss to stall just because nothing looked good enough to eat. Good luck!

I attempted to try eggs again today and they came right back. :( I think I'm done with them for awhile. I loved eggs pre-op but now, my sleeve can't take them.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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
