Need help; 2 years post surgery

I am feeling immense shame as I write this post but I cannot carry on like this and I am requesting advice from the lovely people of this community. I had my surgery in 2022 and unfortunately (due to undiagnosed ADHD) I did not follow the post-surgery plan to retrain my stomach. Now that I am being medicated for ADHD, I find myself needing to snack less for dopamine and want to start strength training, but I cannot finish solid meals without becoming full immediately with stomach pain. Can this be resolved by going back to the post surgery diet for a few weeks?

Does anyone have any advice, please? ?

Sucks that nobody replied thus far.

Perhaps drinking a protein shake first thing each day will help kick start your system.

Hopefully the intake will help get your system functioning

How much are you able to eat at one time without stomach pain? We don't need to eat a lot at one time, but we do want to eat the most nutritious food we can, so that every bite benefits us as much as possible.

Glad you are on a better track!

Oh I’m so sorry I didn’t see this earlier! I hope you have talked with your doctor. Any new pain is not normal. Maybe your new ADHD medication is causing problems? My son got gastrointestinal problems from Vyvance. I wish you well!
