Does (Did) Anyone Else Feel This Way?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 10/29 and I have literaly had NOTHING to eat since before my surgery. I have no appetite, no cravings and no desire to eat. I have tried the yogurt the broth the Soups all a no go. One spoon and I'm done! I keep myself hydrated with Water and Protein but I am not getting in the desired amount. Is this normal?

It has only been a couple of weeks and your stomach was traumatized. If you are getting in enough fluids and Protein (via Protein Shakes? ) then just count your blessings :-) You will eventually be able to eat more than a spoonful. No problem.

Thanks ladies! I just don't want to starve my body. So far the eggs have gone down good. At what week were you able to eat anything without the pain of it hitting your stomach?

I was sleeved on 10/30/12 and I am feeling the same way. No energy and feeling like sh*t. I can get 2-3 teaspoon of food but am not hungry and my stomach feels like it can not hold 1sip more! I've made a appt with my regular doctor for tomorrow just to make sure things are going right.

I was also sleeved on the 29th of october. I was on Protein Drinks from 10/15 - 11/15. I have been on mushie foods (yougart, eggs, cheese, refried Beans, canned tuna, chicken, salmon and string cheese and sliced cheese. I feel your pain. Initially when I began to introduce my belly to food it was unhappy. My stomach griped and had issues. Today is my 5th day on mushie foods and my stomach is ok, but when you eat to much, to fast it will let you know. I also started my Vitamins when I started. While on Protein drinks I felt the same way. Once you get on food it will be better, but know this there is a new sheriff in town called your new belly. lol U are doing fine.

Thanks Chris54. I noticed that when I ate the egg this morning it went down well because it took me 35 minutes to eat it! I may take a chance and venture to a chicken salad, or fish tonight. But if I feel the pain I am done! Lol!

I didn't have an appetite for about 2 weeks after I was sleeved. I didn't know when I was hungry or when I was full. I asked my doc & he said it was normal.

      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.
