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 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... :(
