Had surgery 2 weeks ago. Every time I eat (egg, tuna salad, ) I feel dizzy, bad. I have to wait minutes to feel better. It's that normal? I want to eat food!!!! Please I need someone who had surgery a while ago and tell me that has been able to ENJOY the food!

I had surgery on 7/24 and even though I am on liquids, I did dabble in solids twice and I ate tuna, and pork and had no problems as well as turkey pepperoni. You may just be a slower healer. I'm sticking with my liquids and taking it slow just in case.

I was not allowed any food for the first 10 days. Just Water and broth. Thankfully I had no desire for food. Now 19 days later I'm still on pureed food and keeping it very simple. Cream of wheat, applesauce and pureed chicken Soup. Plus two shakes a day. I'm having a really difficult time eating all this food. I have to constantly watch the clock and schedule a meal. I'm having and even more difficult time with the 64 ozs of water. I have no idea how people are doing it.

You will eventually enjoy food again but right now you need to focus on not making yourself sick. Worry about enjoyment later. eggs and meat are two things that are notorious for causing problems early on. Try other things that might be easier on your stomach. If you are not lactose intolerant, try a few bites of Greek yogurt or cottage cheese. Maybe some refried Beans. Try the ricotta bake from TheWorldAccordingtoEggface's blog. If eating solid food is still giving you problems, go back to lots of full liquids (protein shakes) for a couple of weeks and then try again. Not everyone is ready for solids so soon after surgery. You may also want to discuss with your surgeon if you are still having problems tolerating soft foods after trying different things. Good luck!

Can you describe the symptoms a little better?

Is it just dizziness or are you eperiencing pain?

The dizziness may indicate something not stomach stage related

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
