Frustrated

[tamjo 4]

I'm just starting my 4th week post op today... Most days are great and I keep my food down and then others I take a bite to many and up it comes. Really need to get this figured out. My husband and I were sleeved 2 weeks apart and and he's had no problems at all. Just frustrated.

I guess I'm fortunate that I don't throw up. I do have trouble getting enough Protein in, for sure...but then I have pains in my stomach when I eat an amount closer to what I should be eating. Once I eat, I don't want anything else. Honestly, I could skip days and not eat at all, and be perfectly happy about it. The thing is, I want to heal, and I want my hair to stay in my head so I work at eating. I do get hungry, but sometimes I won't bother eating until it's really annoying...which happens later in the evening when I didnt' have enough to eat during the day. I won't be able to really sleep until I put something in my stomach.

As you have figured out by now the main causes of rejection are too fast and too much. To a lesser degree, too spicy can also be a factor.

I brought it up a lot more in the earlier days than I do now. I really have to push it to bring it back now.

Your new stomach is doing what it is supposed to do. It will get less fanatical as time goes on.
