This whole eating thing is hard......



Recommended Posts

OK, I know it was my fault to begin with, but it is frustrating:

I am just getting to soft mushy foods.

I tried tuna with pickles and mayo and melba toast.

I was hungry AND rushed. Not a good combo, it all came up......

Moral of the story: go slow when eating........

We've all been there. I have resorted to tiny spoons and small dishes. That helps a lot.

I eat out of a saucer and try to eat very slowly. However, eating has been a chore since my surgery months ago. Some foods are difficult to eat like baked chicken and some vegetables. All of the chewing makes me tired but I deal with it anyway since this is going to be my way life for awhile.

I agree about it starting to be a 'chore'. I now know eating to live, not living to eat.

It has definitely turned into a chore. I hate eating anything anymore because it seems like nothing agrees with my stomach. But I'd rather have this attitude towards food than the one I had before.

      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.
