I am about 3 months out and scared to eat... all I eat is eggs all day for my Protein :/ anyone else struggle with this?


I've had and still do have moments of concern about eating. I'm afraid of dumping.

Dumping is more of an issue with the gastric bypass

What worries you about eating?

I'm not really sure.. like, what if I eat the wrong thing and get sick? Or I just eat the wrong thing.. I'm just scared and I want to continue this journey to a healthier me. I'm very bad ad knowing what is okay and what isn't at eating. So I stick to eggs. I had chicken which was so good but I don't want to get sick of it by eating so much so fast.
And I don't know what a "normal" day of eating looks like for other people.

Ambergene...I am on week 5 I've lost 23lbs...this is what I am eating now...

In the morning I start out hydrating and take my bariatric vitamins...after about 30 minutes I usually eat one scambled egg w/ cheese or I have 1/3 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. I continue to hydrate with Water or Protein Shake or Jello or sf popcicles. At lunch I have tuna mixed with mayo or 3 oz chicken or fish. Continue hydrating...Dinner I have yogurt or chicken or fish or cottage cheese. Hope this was helpful

Would you share what you ate during your first three weeks post op? I'm struggling with this! I can't seem to get it together and I'm worried I'm over eating!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
