Recommended Posts

I had mine on 23 Jan but I actually dread eatting, it always feels uncomfortable and I always feel nauseous after I've eaten. I take my time and I chew but I always feel bad, I think I've had maybe 3 times since surgery where I haven't felt sick and that's all :-( please help give me some sound advice x

If I eat more than a cup or so of food per meal (over a 20 - 30 minute timeframe), I feel nauseous too. Our stomachs can't handle much anymore - so maybe decrease the amount you are eating???

I eat approx 6 teaspoons of food before I feel really sick, I take me time and chew thoroughly to make sure its not too chunky but still I feel sick. I drink lots of Water to keep me hydrated but food fills me with dread. Small amount eaten very slowly still makes me ill :-(

Thank you for taking the time to try and help me :-) x

I was sleeved Jan 21 and I started having that problem when I switched to regular food. A friend who had hers a year ago told me to start taking Probiotics daily. My doctor has me on Prilosec daily and that's supposed to help but once I started the probiotic that cut out the nauseousness. Try that it's over the counter like the Prilosec. Hope that helps.

I keep eating too fast. I'm waiting too long to eat in between meals and find myself starving and scarfing down my 3-4 bites. Then I feel sick and can't eat anymore. How can I train myself to eat slow?

Take dime sized bites and chew the daylights out of each bite. It takes some serious conscious effort to override a lifetime of eating habits.

I do take lansoprozole, which is the same kind of medication, but this stops the acid but not the sickness that I feel. I will get some probiotics and see if that helps. I'm just sick of the nausea and. I'm worried my 3yr old will think that its normal to be sick after food. She asks me everytime I eat if I'm okay and do I need to be sick. I really need to get this sorted out. Thank you so much for your advice. :-) x

Update:

Sleeved on 1/22/13

1st doctor visit weight-380

surgery weight-360

Current weight 3/16/13-310

Things are going well, but I'm starting to lose my appetite again just like after surgery. Anyone else feel the same? What can I do? Not eating means stalls in my weight loss.

      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.
