5 weeks and cant stand anything.



Recommended Posts

I'm 5 weeks out and up till now everything has been super. In the last three days I have had stomach pain in the morning or when I guess my stomach is "empty". The pain is not too bad but I have had no pain before.

I feel so blah on the daily regimen. I'm getting burned out on the Protein Drinks, any food, and even Water.

I feel so bloated. I don't want another yogurt, cottage cheese, Beans etc.

I am walking 30 min a day.

I tried to mix things up and do Isopure clear Protein today and the aftertaste just made me gag

My stomach started cramping so I ate a small amount of chicken. No issues before but today I threw up all of it.

My routine is nothing different, work, house, kids.

Does this happen to you???? Am I the only one who feels like I can't do the daily routine.

I'm not hungry and not eating regular foods, just soft. Vitamins are all good.

I'm sure it will pass, but I don't want to compromise my health because I can't handle this stuff now. Will I hurt myself if I just stay hydrated and skip some of the protein if just for a day or two ??

I am 6 weeks out can't hardly eat anything. When I do I get nausea and then vomit. Only thing I really keep done is profuse Protein. So I am doing that in the morning and in the evening. Otherwise everything else comes up. I am trying to get more Protein in by trying the high protein. Bars they had at dr. Office they are not so bad. But only can take 3 bites before I get nausea.

Talk to Dr. Yesterday if it doesn't go away with meds than they have to scope me to see what's going on. You should ask dr about it. Just to be safe.

I am 5 weeks out. I have never been nauseous. I have not had trouble with any soft food. The only think I have trouble with is Water. food goes down fine ( I almost wish it didn't. I feel like I am eating too much.) But Water feels like it gets stuck. Go figure. I am having trouble getting all of my water in.

It's been 4 weeks for me and I feel exactly like you do! I have no problem with food ( purée) but water is difficult to drink!

      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!!
