Sleeved 2/11, still cant eat much!



Recommended Posts

Is it still rough on consumption for you guys? I know I shouldn't complain since I started at 275lbs and I now weigh 228 and it has only taken 2 1/2 months. I just still find it very hard to eat, it actually makes me wonder if my sleeve has gotten smaller. For instance, I made a 3 ounce steak last night for dinner and 1.5 ounces of green Beans. I got about 4 bites down so like I always do, I packed it up for lunch at work. Well I ate it for lunch and got full then saved it for dinner. I still didn't finish it for dinner but only had like 3 bites left. So I made that steak dinner in to 3 meals and still had some left, threw it away of course. At this time you would think I could eat more but it seems like I eat less then I did a month ago.. Crazy! How is it for you all?

I am five months out and still do not eat red meat

It's just to hard on my stomach still. Is it just steak or all foods?

All foods, it doesn't matter.

I handle red meats fine though. Never had a problem getting them down.

It's been 10 months for me and although I eat more than I did when I was only a few months out, I still don't eat a lot. I am never hungry and I only eat because I have to. food lasts me a long time too lol! I can't eat ground meat. It makes me sick! Food is definitely trial and error though! Congrats on your journey!

That's a hard one... If your not feeling sick when you eat, like needing to throw up its probably fine but if you do start to feel like things just aren't going down it would be worth a call to the doctor to make sure there's not a build up of scar tissue

I just get stomach pains every now and then which is my fault for not paying attention. Thanks for the heads up :)

      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.
