All I want is a juicy INCREDIBLY RARE steak… I’m drooling thinking of it!! I’m so protein deficient. I Can’t hardly keep more than a couple ounces of a shake down. I gag and end up sick 😔 I am 4 weeks post op as of today and still can’t handle anything but liquid or purée texture. I was told to try eggs… I did twice and both times sick as a dog. I have tolerated chicken only if it’s a TINY speck in a soup… I’m beginning to feel like I will never be able to eat again.

I am also 4 weeks post op. Everything hurts. I’m always exhausted and sore. I can’t hardly swallow without pain. I know I’m not getting any where near the protein I should. The shakes make me sick. I have tried fair life and carnation high protein… they all upset my stomach. I am probably low on water too, maybe 36-42 Oz water. My vitamins cause nausea. This whole thing is a mess. When do I feel normal again?

I feel relieved this isn’t only me… my husband smells HORRIBLE to me now 😔 I feel so bad saying that but… he’s a heavy smoker and he drinks on the weekends and eats terribly… (he’s blessed with the body of a 21 year old (in his 30’s now), banging body… lucky genetics) but his unhealthy life style choices smell so bad I’m nauseated when he’s in the bed with me… I hope this goes away. He’s not going to quit what he’s doing.

I have had a few of those dreams about eating. They’re not anything like gorging on unhealthy foods… (my weight gain wasn’t food addiction related) I’m almost 4 weeks post op from my sleeve surgery. My dreams are about having a poached egg on toast or having a salad with grilled chicken… I think whatever you’re missing food wise your brain is trying to help you make up for it somehow with dreams? Anyway I can see how it would be scary to dream you are a bunch of off limits foods in access and be afraid you ruined your sleeve! Mine are more like “I was able to swallow the bite of salad without getting foamies”’.
