Why cant i eat anymore



Recommended Posts

Has anyone had the feeling where they can't eat solid food. All of a sudden this past week I can't eat I take one bite and have the fullness feeling. But I can drink no problem and eat soft foods like ice cream no problem. I have a follow up on Wednesday should I be seen sooner should I be worried??

Oddly star I have had this when constipated!

I can drink but no food. When I eat it feels like a lump or like I have eaten too much with one bite .

There are times I feel that way.

I drink my Unjury when that happens. It only happens when my body is going through its monthly for a day or 2 then I am back to normal.

If your really concerned then call your surgeon's office in the AM. You should be fine as long as you can get your Water in. :)

Yes, it happens to me every now and then. I also go through phases where I completely lose my appetite and have to force myself to eat and feel like spitting out food while I'm chewing.

I'm only about 13 days out and haven't had much that is "food". I am finding that it is hard to gauge what I can finish. I had cottage cheese and it was really difficult to choke down. Maybe just because I am new?

At thirteen days I was still on full liquids about to start pureed. Did you puree your cottage cheese? It really makes a difference so make sure you do puree during this stage. Also measure out 1/4 cup at a time.

Starr, I agree with the poster who said her inability to get food down coincided with Constipation. That happens to me too. Very frustrating. I actually get nauseous.

Im 10 days out and I was told by my nutritionist that I could star puree 8 day out. Which I thought it was weird. Only eat a bit at a time. I drink 1 oz of Water every 20 minutes and eat 1 oz every 2 hours. Just take your time eating. "Good luck.

      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!!
