Melting Down



Recommended Posts

I went to a dinner for a "quick" Breakfast and I had some bacon and eggs. Literally 3 bites later I starting to feel so bad. Sweating cold and shaking. Was it because of bacon or why with such a little amount would I feel like that? Any ideas? It's been 5 weeks since I got sleeved I had those things before and nothing. Leak? Irritation I'm concerned

eggs did that to me until 2 months post op. They're real easy to eat, just hard to digest. I can eat them just fine any way I prepare them now, but if I try to eat two, nope, I get that "urrghhh" feeling.

I too seem to have a bad reaction to eggs and I used to love them before. I eat turkey bacon every morning with no problems.

I started on eggs 2 weeks post op (I am 3 weeks now) but will not be allowed to eat something as solid as bacon for another 6 weeks! My surgeon takes the diet stages very slow. So I would put my money on the fat in the bacon. Because he did mention something to me about fat not settling well until later. I would try eggs again in a week or so by themselves and see how that goes. How long did you feel that way?

I have an egg almost every morning. I tried to eat 2 eggs once, and can't. After 2 months, I tried bacon. It goes down fine. I don't make it a regular thing, though. It's a real treat.

I'm guessing likely the high fat in the bacon. I can eat it occasionally, but even now it doesn't always sit very well (I try to fry it pretty crisp to get a lot of the fat out of it). I can't eat hot dogs any more either, and certain types of sausage irritate me as well.

      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.
