I Feel Good But I Barely Eat



Recommended Posts

It's me again.... I went to get the endoscopy done Friday. They open my stomach a little which was closed. First two days I can jump ropes Lolz.. Felt great.

Now I'm going reverse.... I'm vomiting & I'm not really eating.

Strange thing is I feel good. I can live on Water & not eating. The little I eat mash potatoes sunflower seeds salmon fish makes me feel good & happy. I'm not in a bad mood or anything.

Will I be like this forever? The love for food is gone. Yes I will tell my surgeon all this I'm feeling.

I heard it is the honeymoon phase. Our nerves are cut in the surgery when they come back we will feel hunger again. I would make sure your getting your Protein and liquids in daily. As much as you can in the beginning but as time goes on it is a must I have been told. Good luck!

I think the voimiting is a problem. Constant voimiting can cause a lot of internal damage and u don't want to end up anoxeric. Im not voimiting but I had a hard time eating and my nutrition told me to find whatever I can to stay down and get calories in. Can u do Soups? fruit? Or crackers? I stick to super soft stuff for right now.

Oh goodness. You need to catch a break! Sounds like you may be retaining Water. Have you weighed yourself?

Sounds like Water retention... Try to stay off your feet for a while if u can... Are the sunflower seeds salted?? That could make you retain water.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
