Still can't eat @ 8 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

I'm 8 weeks out and my stomach cramps a little with food. Steamed shrimp and grilled chicken seems to be the only foods my sleeve like. I tend to want more to drink than eat. I'm about to start 12 hour shifts at work and I need food ideas to pack.

Same here ... I'm just at the 2 month mark and have gotten very used to my routine.

I bring an Ensure Protein shake, A Greek yogurt and lately have added in a small banana for some difference. I find that and the Vitamin Water zero last me for my full shifts ...

Hope it helps!!

      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! 😞
