So I am now 5 weeks post-op and I've managed to lose 20 pounds the first 4 weeks, but now I kind of feel like it's not going anywhere. I think it's my diet that's all wrong. I got my operation done in Belgium, and now that I am back home I'm no longer following the rules. For starters I feel like I'm not drinking enough water, because for some reason ever since I had the operation, drinking plain water makes me want to throw up, so now I just mix it with lime juice. Also, I found this frozen curry soup with vegetables and chicken pieces, and that seems to be the only thing I eat now. If I try to eat anything other than that, I start feeling nauseous and suddenly whatever I ate seems to stop at the middle of my chest. It's like a huge ball of food stuck inside of me and it makes me feel so uncomfortable and sick. Sometimes I'll even throw up. Is this normal? Or is it simply because I am not eating the right food? I would really appreciate it if y'all could share some of your post-op diets or any experiences of the such?
Thank you,
Hanna
