Feeling like I am regressing

I was sleeved 8 1/2 weeks ago. The last week has been so rough. I can't eat much of anything. Every bite of food makes me feel gross and nauseous. I am burping every five minutes and the bubbling from my throat is very annoying ( dr doubled my nexium for two weeks and then have to go in and see him if that doesn't work) . I am just concerned because of the lack of food I get in. I do meet my Protein every day by taking a shot of milk with Protein powder in it and then a shake for dinner. In this feeling it is hard for me to be positive and think that it will all get better. I am worried that this will last forever. Of course I have read that of course it doesn't , right now I am just scared. I expected to be able to eat some at this point and feel good .

I don't have any answer to this but just want to say I hope it gets better soon. My husband and I never had a problem whatsoever. I would be seeing the surgeon, and I am so sorry you have to go through this.

I get it. I'm pretty much at the same place you are. Getting very bored with the same foods, cause they dont make me feel icky. I try to eat food as much as I can, but I do have a protein drink every AM. But the scale stalls, the weight isn't coming off even doing the program and with exercise. Grrr. I miss enjoying food and if I get constipation one more time, I'll explode. It's going to get better...I know this deep underneath all this blah. But this is hard. Do you have support? I'm seeing a counselor once a week, this helps...my friends and family are great, but they don't get it. I try to look at little gains. My clothes are baggier, I fit better with the seatbelt. Am I totally convinced I made the right choice...not yet. Am I able to see some good, yes. So I hold on to that and hope it gets better like everyone on here says it will. Good luck to you.

@@tenseintexas Have you talked to your surgeon about this?? This isn't necessarily "normal" at 8 1/2 weeks out. You should be able to eat. Please call your surgeon - maybe you have something going on like a stricture or something.

Don't be scared. Your fear will bring about even worse things. This is a journey. A learning process. It's not for faint of heart. I was sleeved 9.7.16. I've had some challenges. But I'm learning. Get some help from your dietician... your not alone. And nothing last forever. Cheer up....

I am about the same length post op. I have been fortunate that everything I've tried seems to sit with me well. No major intolerance. However, I do find myself feeling uncomfortable and gurgly if I eat too fast or don't chew really thoroughly. I ran into that more when I moved to solid foods. I have to really work on reminding myself to go slow, take small bites, and chew.
