Needing advice about eating



Recommended Posts

I’m about 28 days post op. For the first two- three weeks I was doing good. And I started to introduce soft food and then all the Protein Shakes started to taste worse than they did before. Now I’m at the point I can only eat some ever other day.. I’m feeling a bit lost and when I do attempt to eat it hurts for a good while.

Definitely call the doc! But 28 days out is still fresh. Make sure you are drinking your shakes, that's where most of your nutrition is coming from now. But call the doc!! 😊

((hugs)) Are you getting your liquids in? Please be sure you're at least well-hydrated, otherwise, I'd be tempted to go to the ER and let them call the doc. But please do what the others suggest and call the doc? Stay safe, hon!

My Protein Drinks have lost their appeal, but it helps to dilute them with 1% milk. Try to eat very slowly. Tiny bites, take all 30 mins. But no longer. Best of luck!

I remember eating a lot of tuna and Greek yogurt I never liked anything healthy prior to surgery. Now I have fallen in love with so many healthy foods and I Control how much I eat. I still take a few bites and then walk away from my food. I refuse to go back to being overweight.

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
