almost throwing up after first few bites??



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone.

so i was wondering if anyone else has been having my problem. today starts my second week on real food so im fairly new to my band. but anyway randomly ill take a bite or two of my meal and i get so nauseous (gagged a few times never puked) I'm wondering why this happens. it doesnt happen everytime i eat something. does it have to do with it being the first thing i've eaten in the day?

thanks

size of the bite probably make it the size of your finger nail...and eat as slow as possible, that should help

I'd say slow way down and take smaller bites. You should always wait at least a minute between bites. I've had bouts of nausea when I've eaten too quickly or eaten too much.

Some peope cant tolerate certain foods. I was able to eat eggs and turkey sausage, then I had my 3rd fill and I can only eat a few bites before it gets stuck. As time goes on and your body heals, you will be able to tolerate more. It's part of the learning process, we have to retrain ourselves how to eat the Lap Band way.I tend to take too big of bites,so I eat with a baby spoon.

      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.
