Started Soft Food Today... Having Trouble And A Bit Nervous



Recommended Posts

Thes crazy crazy eggs....i ate puree eggs for the last two weeks and loved them so much I could have had them every meal. today i ate what is essentally a scrambled egg...it was left over frittata from mothers day but it was baked scrambled eggs with a little cheese I had about 5 bites and got the worst pain in my chest and right where it goes into my stomach.. I did this about an hour ago and I still feel horrible. It hurts and just feels uncomfortable. I wonder if it makes a difference if they are hot or cold or scrambled or pureed.

I also tried some pureed pork the other day and that didnt sit well either... I dont know what else to eat. I am 4 weeks out and starting on soft food, . HELP I really dont know what to eat that is soft. Im so scared

eggs are really strange for many of us. I could eat soft scrambled eggs, but not hard scrambled when I first started. Sometimes it's a matter of the spices used in a food. Other times it's either that you're not ready for something of that consistency or that it's too rich for sleevie to handle right now. My doctor's guidelines said that I should go back a step for a day if I had trouble with something. So, maybe do full liquids for the rest of the day and wait a day or two before trying the foods that gave you a problem again.

Even though you're "ready" according to your doctor's schedule, your sleeve may not be ready. There's a lot of swelling in there that needs to go down and everyone recovers at a different pace. :)

Good luck!!

      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.
