Eating no problem 2 months post op

[ambernoel 79]

I'm two months post op and I can eat 3-4 ounces no issue at all- no restriction at all-

I've never thrown up - never had any weird side effects people say about. No restricted feeling .

Anyone else feel this way?

Yep I did. Other than I did, and still do feel restriction when I eat dense Proteins like beef and chicken. Congratulations! It was great to gave such an easy recovery.

But now is a good time to start measuring and tracking everything you eat and drink if you aren't already. Your restriction is only going to lessen over time and it will get easier and easier to out eat your sleave. Making sure you keep up with your Protein and Water goals (mine are 80+g and 100+ ounces) and staying away from sliders and triggers are something you will have to do for life. And unfortunately it's something YOU have to do....your sleeve won't do it for you.

I've been doing low carb- so I'll do 2-3oz of steak with some jack cheese on top or some ground sausage with cheese - bacon wrapped smokies ect nearly everything I eat is meat / Protein aside from cheese I don't eat fruit and I'll eat some veggies even with chicken steak ect I can eat s lot

Like we went to Olive Garden yesterday and I got three meat balls as my meat and they are fair sized and I ate all three no issue

DairyMary gave some good advice. I was similar. I progressed through the stages quickly and could eat almost anything after one month. I still haven't thrown up, not sure if my body knows how to anymore. I'm 9 months out.

The only problems I have had was with Water nausea (I used additives for the first six months until I could drink Water normally again) and i still can't eat overly dry meat. It makes me very uncomfortable about 30 minutes later and makes me feel like I'm going to throw up (salivatory glands go nuts), but I don't. I get sweaty and uncomfortable.

3.4 weeks post op

No issues with fluids but no hungry enough to start eating my soft diet, I'm really enjoying my whey Protein shakes chocolate with skim milk ice and low fat ice cream do my Protein intake is fine, I'm drinking plenty of Water but I love my crushed ice with some fruit juice or diet flavouring

My surgeon and dietician have adviced me not to stress about the eating it will come once I get used to my new stomach

Good luck and I'm glad you doing well

Cheers

Hello my name is Tiffany 36. Had my surgery 2 months ago I am also able to eat anything but I have vomited 2 times. I think it was what I ate or ate to fast. I just dislike having to wait almost 30 min after meals to drink bc my mouth really be dry from food. I was on solids 4 weeks after surgery so I think I got my stomach use to solids earlier than most people I know has had it bc some are still on liquids. I do have a problem digesting beef and pork meats which I gave up all together I'm ground turkey, fish and chicken Queen lol.

You're lucky you don't have those side effects. I feel it & I'm almost 6-weeks post op. My biggest fear is not knowing when to stop. In my opinion, I think you should measure your food just so you know you're not over eating & so you won't go back to how it was before surgery.


Height: 5'0"
Weight for WLS consultation: 216 lbs.
Surgery date: 2/13/17
Goal: -71 lbs for healthy BMI (about 145 lbs).
Current weight: 180.8

I too can eat without a problem 4 weeks out, and it scares me that I will regain my weight. I am striving for 80-120 grams of Protein a day and I drink 64 ounces of Fluid a day. I was hoping for more of a restriction but I have always healed quickly and I guess this surgery is not any different.

Im already screwing up over eating. I'm feeling myself going back into some old habits. I began tracking my foods today and am ashamed to say I've had 96 grams of carbs. I'm devastated. I even had heartburn today. First time since before sleeve. I'm only 5 weeks out. Please what should I do to regain focus??

I think the book The Beck Diet Solution by Judith Beck was previously suggested my OutsideMatchInside...she is a real inspiration, so I picked it up for Audiable. It is cognitive behavioral therapy focused, and that it exactly what I needed. It's awesome!

Also, if you aren't easily offended, the book Never Binge Again by Glenn Livingston, is a quick read that puts the CBT techniques into an immediately usable context with very powerful imagry. It might not be right for someone who is very emotionally sensitive about their weight but it was exactly the kind of tough love I was looking for. It is free on Amazon Kindle right now.

If you are just five weeks out and you are already off track, it doesn't sound like you ever had focus in the first place. Are you seeing a therapist to help you with your food addictions? If not, you really need to. These first 6-12 months are the easiest ones you will ever have. Bad habits will only get worse if you don't get help.

Believe me, I could not have lost all my weight and I definitely couldn't have kept it off for 5+ years if it weren't for the psychological changes I made. The hour or so I spent on the operating table would have been a complete waste if it weren't for the hundreds of hours spent with my therapist and in group support meetings. Getting to the truth behind my dysfunctional eating habits and learning new ways to cope with life's stresses has been far more beneficial than WLS itself. Our smaller stomachs are a just a small part of successful weight loss. The mental part is far more important .....and far tougher to fix.

Good luck!

I can eat pretty easily as well. I'm 5 months out now but I never had an issue once I moved to solids. I can eat pretty much anything and haven't thrown up or had any dumping. I track and measure all my food. I've 58 pounds down from surgery and 23 from goal.

[Mynewlife4me 8]

Hi I'm 2 weeks out and I've had dumping really bad not vomiting but nausea with lots of things. Today I tried a soft scrambled egg with a little cheese for the first time and could only eat half. Im just taking it one day at a time. And trying to figure out what to eat!!
