Still cannot eat them without feeling sick. Although I try every couple of weeks, last week I tried poached, although it stayed down, I felt yucky after.

I miss eggs!

I kind chuckled when I saw this I have been in so much pain since eating a hard boild egg last Monday. It caused inflammation and an abrasion right where the stomach curves after the esophagus enter the stomach. I can to eat or drink anything without the most pain ive ever had in my life. I spend all day feeling like I am having a heart attack. I'm not complaining necause I did it to my self but I thought I could share with you all. The only good news is that I have lost over 10 lbs in a week but at a costvi didn't really want. I am sucking it up trying to drink the Protein and Water but I am feeling like I may have to go back to the Doc. I have been to the Er they know its not a bloodclot and Dr. T done the upper GI with barrium and we can see where even the liquid is pooling and he said it could take abput two weeks to heal and to go back to soft food but it just hurts so bad I can't do it. Staying with the shakes for at least the protein

Ok congrats. I was actually sleeved 10/20. I'm having a really difficult time with liquids. Hunger pains are killing me and today I gave in to eating solids. It was the worst decision I had made. Now I know this is going to be a tough road.

Congratulations on your surgery. You need to be supper delight in regards of following the liquid and soft food guidlines and give your stomach time to heal. This happened to ke andvi was on solids so you never know what food is going to cause you issues. The hunger is dehydration try drinking Water when you start to feel hungry. It is my understanding that it is head hunger this early in. It is a very uncomfortable situation I am in now but I promise you up until Monday I had zero issues. Nor vomiting, nausea, pain after about 3 days of surgery. Nothing, I was like did I even have surgery. So don't feel like its all going to be miserable you will soon feel good I promise.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
