First Meal Where My Stomach Has Felt Normal!



Recommended Posts

I'm 3.5 weeks out and pretty much had gotten used to the odd feelings associated with eating. However, I just ate some tilapia and mashed potatoes and not one twinge, gurgle or anything! I assumed I'd have the discomfort for a while when I eat and drink. It feels good to feel normal!

I'm wondering if the Protonics I'm taking had anything to do with it. I forgot to take my pill in the morning so I took it before lunch. My stomach was kind of upset in the afternoon but by dinner it was fine, perfect actually. Are you taking anything for acid Cheles?

I'm 5 months out and the loud stomach noises still exist when having a meal. It's just a normal digestion sound to me now. when i'm really hungry and with other people i will take a small sip of Water a few minutes before I eat so the noise is not so loud.

I've had gurgling up until recently, when it's finally tapered off a bit. I still get it on occasion, incluing the lovely sounds that accompay it! :-) I'm also finally off the prilosec so I'm not sure if that's contributed to less gurgling. But I do recall the first few months I would even comment: "let the gurgling begin!"

For me I think it is the acid controlling meds that are helping. I have been taking my pill at different times and with different food or drink for the past couple of days and I can tell the difference in the way my stomach feels and sounds. Maybe I need to take it twice a day and I can avoid the discomfort and sounds all together. I think I'll call the doctor and get his opinion!

      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.
