Dieing not really but feels that way.



Recommended Posts

2 weeks out, soft foods for a week now. Tried to eat some soft chicken yesterday. The first time I thought I was gonna die for the pain. Just a couple bites. So that was lunch. I went back to my full liquids. Today my new best friend tuna said oh no. 2 bites and uncomfortable, not dieing but ouch. So back to full liquids.

Anyone else experience this. I was fine all week eating whatever was on my plan.

No chicken for 6 months I was told , I guess it gives everyone problems. I'm 2 and a half weeks now and I try to stay with eggs, cheese, Beans and I added spinach to a cottage cheese bake and I did fine with it too. My diet will bump up a month out to add one knew thing at a time as tolerated . Just go by the rules and you will heal much faster. : )

Everyone has different reactions to foods. If it's on your plan but bothering you, leave it be and then come back to it in a week or two. I have a coworker who's 3 years post op and her new tummy is not her friend. It changes its mind daily on what it will or won't tolerate.

You don't need to rush the process towards solid foods. Take it one baby step at a time. Whenever you try chicken it must be tenderized. The way to do this is slow cook a chicken breast in a covered pot of Water with a bouillon cube for a few hours until the meat is so tender that it comes apart with your fork.

It was really tender chicken. Not the first time I've tried it either. It was like yesterday a switch flipped and said nope not eating anything. I did have some pinto Beans tonight a whole 11 Beans. No pain but just didn't want to aggregate anything. My Dr was pretty firm on going to soft foods a week ago. Every Dr is different I guess

      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? 🤷‍♀️
