Ive been post op since 10/10/11 and ever since I've been able to start solids I feel as if I really can't do it . I had an ok Thanksgiving eating , but ever since then I can't eat and its getting ridiculous. I get nauseous , i really feel sick :( . I might have to call my doctor this following week,I dont understand whats going on. If anyone has gone through this let me know. Thanks for all the support on here x0x0x0x

You might try a few days on liquids and see if that helps.

I suspect it might be a psychological thing. Start really slowly. It took me quite a while to feel comfortable eating and I was rarely hungry despite having an empty band from Day 1.

Start with yogurt and move into other foods from there. You will hit a major weight loss stall if you don't progress your eating.

Maybe talk to your doctor to make sure there is nothing physical going on. You need to try hard to get on to solids. You may never feel satisfied of you don't.

The first thing to do is talk to your doctor. By this time, you should have progressed onto solid foods, so you need to get that checked out.

I have found that my tastes have changed after surgery. I now eat more poultry and fish and really don't have an appetite for pork or beef. I also eat more dairy products (yogurt and cheese), vegetables and fruit. But I don't eat many starches (bread, potatoes, rice, chips). Maybe you should try eating different solid foods than the ones you are used to. You might be surprised at what now tastes and feels good! Good luck and I hope you sort this out.

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
