I used to eat such good things...now I feel like I'm living on scrambled eggs, deli meats, cheese, and yogurt! I was doing great at 6 weeks out, now at almost 10 weeks my poor stomach is having such issues. I had an endoscopy almost 2 weeks ago that showed severe gastritis (irritation) and so many things just don't sit well anymore. A lot of the foods I depended on make me sick now. I'm really hoping this will resolve over time because I'm getting really frustrated. I'm down 46 pounds since my surgery, and 70 from my high, so that's the good news. I just hope I don't have to deal with this part much longer...

My stomach changed so much with surgery.. those things I used to like.. I no longer like.. scrambled eggs is one of them.. Ive tried pizza.. and no go there.. too heavy.. so I dont eat that anymore either.. any food that is dry.. I cant handle.. so my foods for the most part have to be very moist.. which is ok.. I can handle it.. sorta keeps me away from stuff I shouldnt have.. I dont use salt.. so any processed foods taste so salty to me.. my hubby one time put some sea salt on some steak I was going to eat..and I couldnt eat it.. too salty..and he didnt put much on there either.. I told him not to put anything on my food at all.. poor thing lol.. I find I really dont miss out on anything at all.. cuz I have my fav. things to eat too.. hope your stomach issues resolve.. mine have just by changing what I eat yet again.. my tummy is so finicky LOL.. best of luck to you. :)

I also had severs gastritis and was put on a corse of omapreazole for 8 weeks after a week I felt better and continued it for another week then stopped. I feel so much better. You can buy omaprazole over the counter. Good luck and I hope you feel better :)

I went from Nexium to Dexilant - and also on Carafate 4x a day. It's been two and a half weeks and still not as good as I was. It's kind of depressing to look at a fridge full if stuff and/or a menu at a restaurant and struggle to find something to eat. Hopefully it will improve - thanks for the good wishes!

      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.
