Just Can't Eat Today

I may have been too ambitious with Breakfast this morning; 3 bites of an english muffin sandwich consisting of piled scrambled egg and bacon, about 2 tbsp and 1 piece respectively. I ate 3 bites, probably too quickly, and suffered in mega pain for like an hour afterward, including a sliming where I barely made it to the bathroom at work. Ever since all day I can't put one thing in my mouth without feeling like I just ate the Thanksgiving turkey. So at the end of the day, I'm not going to come near making my Protein quota for the day, and just generally feel crummy. Suggestions? Comments?

ha, i had that happen last night too. . .felt like i was starving (ya right!) so ate 3 tablespoons of spaghetti and meat sauce way too fast and get this one! without chewing properly (after 1 year you would think bad habits have changed ! hahahaha) and wow it was like here comes the discomfort, sliming, spitting episodes, and walking around til that feeling went away. . . then your tummy swells and you are not hungry anymore and don't want nothing to eat again. . . what i do is just leave it be and carry on the next day and do better. . . good luck!

Been there done that too, almost exactly what you mentioned. Got excited with some food and ate the whole 3 ozs pretty fast, the pain hit (luckily for me for only about 15 minutes tops) and after that I could hardly eat a thing.

People here assured me that it DOES get better, and after a few weeks after my "episode" I can say that YES it does. For about the first time yesterday I ejoyed a bit of leftover spaghetti that we had and actually mooched another 2 bites more from my wifes plate.

I think the body reacts to the pain and puts us off mentally from food for a while.

Yeah I really couldn't eat or drink anything the rest of the day, I wonder if I had internally bruised myself? At the end of the day I could handle a little lick of ice milk but even then ... even hot tea wasn't overly welcome. The bummer/shock today though is that I stepped on the scale and I was up a pound?!! wtf.

      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.
