Does anyone get the sensation of nausea when thinking of eating?



Recommended Posts

There are somedays (like today) that the thought if eating makes me super nauceous. It isn't like this everyday, but the thought of food makes me sick. Even if I am a bit hungry I just can't make myself eat. Anyone else have an issue like this?

I thought I was the only one that gets this feeling!

I think it's because eating is so hard these days, so the discomfort or the feeling of discomfort starts automatically as a response to 'hunger'... OR is it actual stomach acid or gas from the prep to eat something?

Not much I can do, as this is all in my head, and I need the nutrients. So, I start the first bite or sip, and wait for a bit for the feeling to subside, then continue.

Hang in there, I think once it is easier to eat down the road, it will go away.

Keep us posted!

I am three months out. I talked to my NUT about it and she told me to push through. The weird thing is that there is no discomfort. The thought of food somedays just makes me want to vomit.

Me too, me too, me too!!!!!! I'm only 2 weeks out, but there are days when I realize it's 1 o'clock and I have not eaten. Then I start thinking about it and immediately get sick. It's so frustrating.

Yes I get this. It only really happens to me in the morning. I find myself skipping Breakfast a lot even though I know I shouldn't. It just makes me feel too sick to eat in the morning. But the evenings are fine

      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.
