4 wks post op and still cant eat



Recommended Posts

I am about 4 weeks post op fro Gastric Bypsss. I still can not hold down chicken, turkey, eggs, cauliflower rice, and some cheeses like a mozerrella in extra virgin olive oil. I am throwing up like every single day within 3-4 bites of my small meal. Thank God I am able to hold down the portein shakes and most cheeses otherwise I would be sunk.

Anyone else experience this? Was there Anything that made it easier to hold food down? Any tips or tricks? All advice would be greatly appreciated!

a lot of people have trouble with poultry (too dry) and eggs. I don't think I was eating cauliflower then. I did eat some feta the first month, but not packed in oil. Not sure if in your case it's the fat in the oil or not...

you may just have to back off some of this stuff and eat soft foods for awhile longer. Your stomach may not be ready. Although some people have trouble with eggs and poultry for the first few months, so it could be awhile before you can tolerate those.

Refried Beans with a bit of cheese on top was my FAVORITE at that time. Everything else food-wise was pretty hit or miss. I could eat some fruit, very few veggies, sometimes eggs or chicken, sometimes not. I also ate a lot of seared scallops then. They never revisited me. Hummus usually did alright, but I literally ate it with a spoon. Proteins drinks were still needed to get me to my Protein goals.

Please discuss with your surgeon if you continue to vomit frequently. 💕

Yes, from the many posts on here about transitioning to this stage a lot of the foods you mentioned were a challenge for people and they had to wait a little longer to allow their new tummies to be ready.

      It has hit me today, as I sit in my chair at work that I don't have my belly sticking out to where it would hit the desk. Oh and I can cross my legs more comfortably. It amazes me just how much I have loss in inches vs actual pounds, I have lost 24 lbs all together. But I believe in inches all over about 3 inches. I am noticing more energy and have pep to my step. My skin is a lot clearer. My watch band is shorter by 3 notches. the little things are what I am noticing. When I bend over I don't feel out of breath or I am going to fall over ( weeble wobble). 
      I am having a hard time with my sweet tooth, it is very hard to not want to get some ice cream or chocolate. Candy I can do without. I have no craving really for that, just chocolate and ice cream. I have gone as far as taking Popsicle and putting them in my mixer with almond milk and making like ice cream with that/ sometimes I have added un-flavored protein powder. 
      I feel better everyday. The energy is great to have with having younger kids and being able to have the energy to keep up. 😃

      If anyone has any advice on how to make your stomach feel better after you eat something you shouldn't have or at too fast, I would GREATLY appreciate it!! It's painful on both sides of my abdomen (like to the point I'm doubled over and using a hot water bottle in addition to medicine) and I'm really nauseous (the thought or smell of food is 🤢).
