Scared to eat



Recommended Posts

I am almost 6 weeks out of my RNY and I am scared to eat very much. I am not hungry so I feel like I have to remind myself to eat something. I only eat 2-3 oz of food at a time and only about 3-4 times a day. I still am doing soft foods and I am really scared to eat anything else. What amount of food do most people eat at this stage and what are you eating. My husband laughs at me because I take my tiny bowl and tiny spoon with me everywhere.

I was very scared when I had my surgery after I had my surgery I had 3 infections. Then 8 months after I had my surgery I went on a trip with one of my tour groups and I have been bullied.

It sounds like you are doing fine. Only eat what your stomach allows you to eat. You don't want push it and end up with bad over eating habits. Just make sure you are getting your required Protein in. I am 10 weeks out and I stayed with the soft food phase a little longer than what was required because that is what I was comfortable with. My nutritionist said that was not uncommon. I very slowly started adding more regular foods (one at a time). Again, just make sure you are getting your protein in.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
