Eating is a chore



Recommended Posts

I understand your pain. It was like that in the beginning for me too. I'm just on the "soft food stage" and life has gotten so much better. Couple more weeks then I can finally eat normal foods.. i.e. chicken, beef etc.

Good luck [emoji4]

One more week to cottage cheese, eggs and purees!! Counting down!

Nice! I didn’t get purées til week 5! It was a long long 5 weeks. Now I’m just waiting on week 9 to get here to begin solid foods!

I honestly feel so sorry for you guys who have to be on liquids and puree for weeks and weeks. My program had me on solids by day 4 (chew chew chew until puree) and it was such a blessing. A meal was half to one babybell, but it was amazing.

Some surgeons feel like it takes a few weeks for the new stomach to heal and the extra time with simple foods allows for better healing and less chance of complications.

Which procedure did you have? I had a SIPS. No way my stomach could have processed solid food by day 4!

I like refried Beans with a little plain Greek yogurt.




No beans on a liquid diet.< br>

I've got one more week to purees...but I understand what you mean about not wanting it. I have never, in my life, had so little interest in food. I have always been the kind of person who could eat through anything...I never lost my appetite....but these last two weeks, I'm never hungry

It truly is a chore. On top of not being hungry, I'm paranoid about what too eat, and how I could hurt myself. Like even a twinge scares me.

Yes, this is true...but try making popsicles out of Premier Protein. I love making bomb pops with 1/2 bananas and cream and 1/2 chocolate. That way, you change up the texture, you change up the delivery system. And, you can make them the size that is perfect for you. Need a 2oz pop? No prob. Can handle a 3oz pop--cool! Also make Protein popsicles out of Clear Protein Shakes. I love the frozen grapefruit and also lemon tea and fuzzy navel from Syntrax Nectar.

Fluffy...I love that idea. I used to love bomb pops growing up. Fudge and banana were my favorite. I will definitely give this a try.

Thanks!

Oh man, me2!!! Let me know how you like them! I think Premier Protein or The World According to Eggface actually has a recipe for them. I just poured the drink in the molds and they worked well enough...you know?

      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!!
