My new not so new stomach



Recommended Posts

People often ask me what's it like post op. I'm almost 4 months out. My explanation. Have you ever been around a baby when it's being fed? Yep that's me. They eat one bite yay, then the second. If my tummy decided it didn't like the first, even if it did 100x before. You guessed it out it comes. So the story of my new life. Finally able to eat eggs and sausage for a few weeks. The inside of a sausage burrito from McD's. This morning "roo" my pouch says nope I no longer like that. After working a 10 hour shift at one client on my way to a 5 hour client now I just want to go home and hug my specially devoted trash can. Ugg.

So I regret my decision, not one bit, but some "roo" cooperation would be nice

Sorry to hear that you are not having an easy time. Luckily I haven't had anything that disagrees with the ole pouch. I haven't been sick in a few weeks (thank goodness). I hope it passes soon for you.

hang in there it will get better. I am 13 years out and there is very little I can not eat. sometimes I wish for the old days when my eating was more limited but I have never regrated it for a moment.

I'm only a month out. it isn't so much what I eat, but how much. I am learning. There is no last bite. If my stomach says "I'm good". Stop. If I don't I'm miserable. I hate the nausea.

TxJess I'm trying to learn but not getting it. I dump often. I'm trying to slow, chew, stop. Teaching old dog new tricks is hard. I hate the nausea so I will figure it out. I have a very touchy pouch. Pork, chicken, eggs are off limits at 8 weeks postop.

      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! 😞
