Week 3 Of My Post Op

[Christeena 1]

And I'm hungry, not sure if I'm really am hungry or if it's just in my head! Anything I try and eat comes right back up:( does any one have advise on what I should eat that won't make me sick?1last thing still no regrets can't want to see the ending results:)

Could be a little of both. Are you on a PPI (acid reducer?) This will help. Also, measure everything you eat (drink)

So for everything that comes up, eat or drink more slowly. I had same problem using old gulping habits. Was unable to tolerate mushies for 5 weeks. Have you tried a bite or two of applesauce? That was my first food. Next was soft frozen yogurt. Have you considered that you might have a lactose intolerance? I was intolerant for 4 months.

Take it slow and give your self time to heal. Also, looking up VSG diets online might give you ideas of what to soft foods try. I had a Decaf skinny vanilla latte (ask for a Protein shot & get soy milk if you are intolerant to milk) At least you will get in 15+ gm of protein.

Hugs, things will get better, I promise.

When I get hungry feeling I start sipping my protien shakes...curbs the head hunger and gets my liquids in. I do notice I like my sugar free popsicles and Tomato Soup from the box. I still struggle with foods that have texture. I am at 4 weeks and have been realeased to a regular diet. Although I am still eating soft foods. I get head hungry when I smell food.< /p>

How many protien shakes to u drink a day? I'm lucky if I drink 1. I was able to drink them the 2weeks in, but now 3 weeks out I struggle just getting one down.

I drink 2 a day...I open one in the morning and then open the next one when I feel hungry and nurse it throught the evening...

Im almost 2 weeks post op, and i have been hungry like you too. I only have 1 shake a day but nothing seems to satisfy the hunger much. im not nauseated like you but maybe its because i eat really slow? i use 1oz cups and take my time so i usually dont consume much because it takes so long. yesterday i tried refried Beans and they went down ok. greek yogurt with the fruit strained is tasty.
