Feeling defeated.

[ashem 1]

Had my surgery on 9/9 and I was doing great just cruising having no nausea or throwing up. This weekend has been rough, I’m starting to introduce more foods and I have never felt so sick. Just feeling down about the whole thing and kinda defeated. I’m scared to eat anything now since I worried I’ll get sick. Anyone else have this?

Yes! I don’t know what got me sick last weekend but I had okay nausea Sunday and Monday horrible. I had introduced canned chicken breast in Water that weekend. I find I have to boil the chicken myself (a friend made me Soup with chicken and veggies and I felt fine- reasoning on how I know). Because the nausea didn’t stop till Monday night I had to call my surgeons office and the prescribed me Zofran. I totally get where your coming from! I got sleeved 10 days after you

It will get better. The early months are hard. Like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back sometimes. It's not at all uncommon to progress to new foods and find out you're tummy isn't ready for them. We're all unique that way and the diet progressions from the doctor's office are merely guidelines. Some people can go quicker, but a lot of us have to go slower, too. It's really discouraging when you get these setbacks, but just be patient. Try those foods again in a week or two and see how it goes. You can do this!

My own post Band care near Christmas 2004 didn't allow solid food before valentine's day. Learned a lot along that stretch, about my food habit. First solid was poached egg. Heavenly.
