Is this normal?

My surgery was 1/14. I cannot eat more than 3-4 small bites of anything, then I have a very uncomfortable pressure feeling. Now I get nauseated when I eat anything. Protein shakes go right thru me. At this point I am just trying to keep fluids in me by sipping all day long. I feel like I am starving myself because I am getting no nutrition yet, I am not hungry. I find it hard to try to eat anything because I don't want the uncomfortable feeling or the nausea. I've tried calling the surgeons office but have received no response phone call yet.

This doesn't sound normal. You might need to push your surgeons office to get in to see them. I think the pressure after a few bites is normal, but not the nausea. Not that far out.

I was nauseated for the first couple of weeks..but not that far out. I agree with sassy pants..go see a dr.

Did you follow the diet? strained liquids for 1 or 2 weeks,then purees,then mushies... our stomach is still very much swollen and healing.so we have to give it time to heal.

The first time i tried scrambled eggs I felt nausea. So I have not had it again. the sleeve dislikes many foods now.

It is normal to eat only few bites.

I am sure your doctor will guide you.You can go back to Clear Liquids for 1 day.

Hopeful - yes I have followed the diet strictly. I have not had nausea the WHOLE time, but am now battling it every time I eat. I am only eating soft foods, but my stomach does not seem to like any of it. I actually stayed on the full liquids longer than the program because I felt as though I needed to. Eggs work, toast does not. Then eggs make me nauseated the next time. Now anytime I eat anything, I get very nauseated. I struggle every time.

i dont think toast is a good choice. we have to avoid bread. and we need only soft foods.

Sorry you are going thru all this...it is depressing I know. I have got a headache due to dehydration. How depressing...I was trying to get in soft foods every few hrs and neglected my liquids...
