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.

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      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! 😞
