Eating is getting tough for me



Recommended Posts

New here but usually trolling,I'm having such a hard time with food no matter what it is fish,chicken, lean meats etc.

Some days or should I say most days just the thought and smell of food wanna make me gag,lately I have been passing days of not eating just supplementing with Protein Shakes.

My situation is everytime I do eat something I'm spending the next whole day visiting the bathroom 8-10 times a day and feel terribly crabby and have no value of life as I cannot leave the house without having an accident os two.

I am getting very frustrated and getting depressed of this situation.

I'm 9 weeks out this coming Tuesday and have lost 55lbs and down 2 pants sizes but not very happy about this bathroom thing and my quality of life as I can barely leave the house unless I don't eat a couple of days,and I don't even get hungry or feel like I can eat anything right now food just disgust me.

Any help I will appreciate.

Please talk to a doctor ASAP.

This is not normal and you could be having a serious complication. Now is not the time to be looking for advise on the internet.

Agree with SpartanMaker, you need to contact your team. Do not hesitate and get help now!! That is what your surgical team is for, to call upon in such situations.

I agree with the other two posts, contact your surgical team, what you're experiencing in is not "normal." Don't risk your health further.

Thanks to the replies I received, I spoke with my Dr this morning who has referred me back to my puree stage for 2 weeks which he says should take care of the situation I'm having

Did you go in to the clinic and did your doctor do a full physical? If not I would consider a second opinion especially being 9 weeks out. At 9 weeks you should be on solid foods unless you were advised to do liquid/puree for longer and you didn't? A second opinion can never hurt.

You said mentally food makes you want to "gag"and you find food " disgusting ", perhaps not only having a complete physical but talking to the dietician or a mental health professional would also help... Also, you never stated what your average meal menus consist of...and quantity..other than low fat meats and Protein Drinks. Are you getting enough Fiber to assist with those " accidents"?

I'd at the bare minimum set up an appointment with the dietician. Good luck hope you start doing better soon!

Also spoke to the dietitian and agrees with the doctors recommendations,average meals consist of fish,poultry,lean ground meats rolled in burgers os small burgers,broccoli, carrots,and when I do eat it isn't very much just to the point of not getting totaly full.Fiber I'm not sure of except taking a Fiber supplement.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
