nausea/dizziness with some "foods" post op?



Recommended Posts

Hey everyone, I am just over two weeks post op and have started adding things back to my diet per my surgeons plan. the only thing i seem to notice is that with some foods i feel dizzy and nauseated. I will say that i was type II before surgery (of course still am but blood sugars have been good since) and im not sure if it has something to do with that or if i am just not tolerating the food. OK examples.

oatmeal - fine

cream of wheat - sick

most ALL cream Soups make me feel blah

regular potatoes - ick (havent tried sweet potatoes yet)

apple sauce - fine

milk - fine

yogurt - fine

what is the deal? any one else just not tolerate cream soups? it's strange, because if it was sugar i would think it would also do it with milk...

I have decided that maybe it's just part of learning to eat foods again since i havent really eaten anything in a while. I cant wait to get to the part where i can eat real Protein. I am dying for some fish! I really feel like it's a carb thing.... Anyway just thought it would throw it out there and see what ya'll thought.

OH and i have taken my blood sugar while i was feeling sick, like the other night i had some potato Soup. I tested and my blood sugar went up to 160s but by an hour or so was back to 117. So im not sure if it's possibly an insulin surge that i am feeling? Im guessing obviously....

      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.
