10 weeks and can barely eat



Recommended Posts

I'm 10 weeks out and am finding myself able to eat less and less. Still struggling with nausea too. Feeling down.

I'd check in with your Dr. At 10 weeks out life should be getting easier for you not more difficult. How much are you eating a day? Protein and calorie wise? I've not had any nausea and can eat my serving size of protein. I shoot for 90g of protein and under 900 cals a day and have no problem hitting those numbers. Hope they figure it out for you.

Thanks! I'm definitely not getting in my Protein. Literally the only thing I can get in is Soup, mostly broth.< /p>

Think you have some narrowing? My doc said if you do, it's an easy fix. They will do another endoscopy and stretch the tube that drains your stomach a little. Apparently this is not too uncommon. I'm sorry you've had to go through this. Call your doctor.

Call your doc.

I have had nausea due to acid. My PPIs are starting to make that better.

Some days for me are better than others, but I still eat a very little bit at a time. Annoying since I can barely get in my calories and Protein.... I still supplement with a Protein Drink.

I also had another EGD done. Nothin' was found on me. I wish they would have upped the PPIs before they wanted the EGD....

Good luck!

I am 5 weeks out and having similar issues. I feel as if the only time my body is happy is when I have an empty stomach. Keep your spirits up, I'm seeing my dr this week and am hopeful there's a resolution. the only Fluid that also doesn't make sick is crystal light fruit punch or unsweetened tea. When I eat I'm instantly nauseous and miserable. Hoping your feeling better soon!!!!

      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.
