Why are some days so hard to eat?



Recommended Posts

I've noticed some days I can eat the same food where one day I feel fine and the next time my sleeve doesn't seem to like what I'm putting in it? Have you experienced this? Today lunch, I've had a few times before but this time it is not sitting well. I'm almost 10 weeks out from surgery. Think it's just where I'm still healing?

2oz sliced chicken breast

1 boiled egg

2 TBL Peanut Butter with celery

Might be a bit much food, and the celery might be tough on the pouch (thinking of the "strings").

I have days like that too. I'm 8 weeks out. Some days, nothing tastes good and I'm slightly nauseated by the thought of food, and other days I'm fine. From what I have read, this is kind of a phase and will pass. Strangely enough, refried Beans are one of the things I really like.

My Bariatric dr told me not to be in a hurry to eat whole foods, to stay on the Protein Drinks and soft foods for at least 3-6 months. I am 7 1/2 weeks postop. Eating foods that might be gaseous causes the stomach to bloat and makes the stomach to spasm. I ate refried Beans one night after getting a huge craving for mexican food, an boy did i feel miserable. It felt like my stomach was going to split. I do 2 Protein drinks, 1 for Breakfast, 1 for lunch. If i get hungry in between i snack on cottage cheese an apple sauce. I've been eating stage 3 gerber baby foods. Not too bad. Another help for cravings is eating sugar free popsicles, helps with Water intake as well. Instant oatmeal is good. My trouble is drinking enough water. I sip all day but still only consume about 30-40 oz. i dont have a scale so i wait to go to the drs office, i can tell by my clothes i am still losing. Last time i weighed was 3 weeks out, and had lost 15 lbs. still going. Good luck to you all.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
