3 weeks out today really bummed



Recommended Posts

It's just getting to the point where no matter what I eat, from Protein Shakes to soft scrambled egg. I feel so gross after I eat,I don't want to eat anything. I eat slowly, and the right things but I'm either in the bathroom or I feel like I'm going to foam out and barf. And in the middle it sounds like something is going to pop out of my stomach like in the Alien movie. 3 weeks out I know isn't long but jeez you'd think id be okay for those things. And why does nothing taste the same still? And why do I want fish? I hate fish! Lol....still hanging in. Just wanted to vent. Thanks all

All I wanted was fish, also, kinda weird, huh? If you're having any doubts, call your Dr. Things should be easing up for you any day now...

Just started my 4th week post op and have been able to eat pureed foods. I take all kids of foods and puree them till they are like baby food and then eat with a baby spoon so I don't take large bites and have been able to keep everything down that I have made. That might help you out. I tried to eat a poached egg and it did not sit well but pureed refried Beans do it is so odd. Hope you find something that your are able to eat and keep down.

I am 5 weeks post-op today and felt the same way. I started feeling a bit better a few days ago. It's funny, I always hated fish and I've been craving it now too! What we're going through will pass. Good luck!

I am almost one month out. I am sick of Protein Drinks and puréed foods. yuk!!! I know this too shall pass and I am so proud of my 25 pound weight loss. Just feel sorry for myself sometimes but glad I did the surgery. When I go shopping down the line I will be grinning ear to ear. Let's hang in there together!!!!

25 days out. Supposed to be on puréed/chopped foods. Tried baby food, can't do it, instead I'm just chew chew chewing blandish food. It's true, nothing tastes the same. Starting Friday I can add in "normal" food. I'm sick of the sweet dang shakes. Siddi yogurt while sour takes me 45minutes to eat.

There was a post I read a bit ago about what people were having for dinner this week. It gives me hope. Normal fresh meals are coming. And I too want fish, but I loved it before-a bit scared that I won't like it as much.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
