Question - difficulty eating and drinking all of a sudden. 3.5 months out



Recommended Posts

Yesterday and today I have barely been able to stomach eating or drinking anything. Both days I've managed no more than 4-500 calories. Yesterday I forced myself to drink 24oz of Water and today I just couldn't get in water. Still working on my 16oz. Normally I eat 1000 calories and rink anywhere from 72-80 oz of water with out any issues. I am not nauseous or sick in anyway, just can't physically eat or drink without felling OFF, not sure what to do. Planning on calling my management team in the am but just thought I'd throw this question out there.

I have days like that occasionally. Had one today. For no reason that I can pinpoint I just feel like Blech all day. I eat and drink less than a normal day. Those sick days are occasional and becoming fewer. I just chalk it up to the healing that is still continuing inside the body.

Feel Better!

Are you on an acid blocker? Acid can cause all kinds of problems and you might not even know you have it. Most doctors put their patients on one immediately after surgery.

Yup I am on an acid blocker. Feeling a wee bit better today and have at least managed to get in 64oz of Water today (added peppermint leaves to the water and seems to help) and food has gone down better today as well. Only at 700cals today but that is way better than the last two days. Must have just been a spell.

Tkx butterfly high and oregondaisy!

      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...

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
