Burping and reckless diet



Recommended Posts

I don't know what the hell I am doing, I am dying for some major advice. I had my surgery 1/14/2016 almost three weeks post op and I still feel as if I'm screwing up.

I was so swollen yesterday from eating boiled chicken (which I was told I could have it) then a day later one of the nurses said "No you can't have that" so today I tried to just relax and not eat as much, I had tuna and my regular Popsicle and now I have major pressure in my chest. I just feel like I'm screwing up my band. I just don't know what to do. No matter what I eat I feel like I'm screwing everything up.

Please give me as much advice as possible. HELP ME!!

Slow down... This is going to be okay. Shhhhh... There we go.

Okay?

Let's start with "week three sucks." That seems to be universal.

You are healing. Shit's still wacky. Prioritize.

Get Water in first.

Then think Protein.

chicken at this stage should be a slurry. Wet not dry.

And week three sucks.

When you irritate that stomach, its likely to swell and your volumes will be different.

My hub has band, I have sleeve. We are totally different. He is 6 or so years into this, I'm new.

Our priority is water, Vitamins, protein, and then calories and not vomiting as distant goals.

Keep in mind, you need extremely little food to live. You could drink shakes only for the rest of your life and survive well. There is no hurry to "get back to normal". Just chill.

And week 3 sucks.

Thank you for the advice, I'm trying to calm down just don't want to screw up what I waited so long for. Yes week three does suck. I'm just ready to get a swing of things because everything seems wrong.

Thanks for the advice for now on I'm getting my water in before eating.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
