Oh Now I Know Why The Book Says Introduce 1 Food At A Time.



Recommended Posts

Duyiiiii!

So I've had had an egg with cheese and a slice of whole wheat bread before and all was well. I can eat a lot of variety.

Today, I decided to experiment. I made an egg mixed with some diced onion (pre-made- prob. too big chunks), pancetta (Italian meat teeny tiny chunks) and cheddar cheese. All very small amounts added to omelet. AND... a very tiny (1 ounce) toasted mini whole wheat bagel.

I have been soooo uncomfortable for a couple hours now. The pain is on the left side..probably my stomach and in the middle between breast bone (which I remember from pre-surgery as a hiatal hernia that the Dr. said wasn't bad).

So I know I need to isolate each thing but probably it's the quantity. However I haven't had real onion chunks yet so maybe that's it. I've not had anything like this since surgery. Can anyone relate? What do your "too much food" pains feel like?

It might be from the bagel. I've found that if I eat any type of heavy breads or pastas my sleeve reacts to it in a way that lets me know I should have stayed away from it. As dense as a bagel is, you may be having a similar reaction, even if it was just a small one. It could be the onions also.

Yeah even though it was pretty hard because it was small and very toasted- could be.

However, I'm starting to think onion... maybe I'll try a tums. I take my PPI in the morning but have yet to use any other thing like it during the day.

      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.
