Just started Pureed and stomach feels different!



Recommended Posts

Ok I was sleeved 2 weeks ago so I just started pureeds. I had 2 chicken nuggets today for lunch and a few bites of pot roast for dinner. Now, my stomach has a different feeling. Kinda of like an empty type of feeling. Is this normal. I am super paranoid about my stomach being messed up! Does anyone know what it actually takes to stretch your sleeve? I did have a little mac n cheese last night too and it didnt bother me! But am I eating too much?

You will know if you eat too much, you will have pain and pressure and possibly vomit. So no you are not eating too much. There is a whole new set of feelings to learn with your new stomach. Are you taking an acid reducer?

"Pureed" means put in a blender and pulverized to liquid consistency, or the equivalent (refried Beans mixed with a little water/milk, chunky Soups blenderized, etc)....not solid food and especially not solid, dense meats. Be very careful these first few weeks, you don't want that stuff trying to squeeze through there with all the swelling and unhealed scar, and ending up busting your sleeve open.

      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.
