Is This Normal

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.
