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 changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
