Have to make yourself eat



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 9/13. I did well except hernia repair. All that is good now too. No pain no after effects. Nothing. I'm grateful. Problem is now I'm sick of shakes. I'm sick of Soups and personally I almost have to make myself eat. I take my Vitamins and sip tea all day long. I think it's because I am not liking anything I eat. Is anyone having this issue.

I have lost 30 pounds so that's exciting but I know I have to eat.

You need to get your fluids and Protein in. Try new things. I am pre-surgery but have found several websites with food suggestions for each stage along the way. This is a great one: http://theworldaccordingtoeggface.blogspot.com

I was on a puréed diet for the first 8 weeks and I was so sick of it by then - I just wanted to chew something! But I followed the plan laid out by my surgeon and ate my meals even though I was getting sick of them. Looking for new food ideas on discussion boards like this or others did help a bit... Regardless, you do get to real food in not that long a period and in some ways I think this early discipline helps prepare you to enjoy the much smaller portions and different choices as compared to pre-surgery.

I find it hard to eat some days too, other days I feel super hungry! I am 3 weeks out, approved for soft and or purée, but I find I can't eat much soft food. Three or four bites is my max. But the appeal of more choices draws me to keep trying. Right now my go to foods are hummus, off the spoon, tuna mixed with fat free mayo and grated pickles, Peanut Butter off the spoon and cottage cheese with unflavoured Protein powder :) I also like the fact that i can boost these foods with Protein Powder without affecting the taste :)

What is the brand of Protein powder that you use. I'm needing to get some but when I start to look there are too many choices.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
