I Feel Good But I Barely Eat



Recommended Posts

Sorry you are feeling bad. I'm glad they opened you up a bit. Please try and get your portein in each day it is so important. Please tell your doc about your legs. Unfotunately you cannot live on Water alone.. you need to get nutrition. I hope you feel better !!!

I ate some salmon last night for dinner. I'm trying to get Protein in but I don't want to eat fish daily.

Can you keep down Protein Shakes? You need some nutrition ASAP

Vomiting is totally not the norm. You need to get to the surgeon and get to the bottom of this problem you're having. Worried about you :-(

Protein Shakes gets me blah feeling & out it gies. Thanks for worrying.

I'm starting to waste away. I was feeling some bones on my hips so I said let's see if I'm retaining Water. I lost 4 pounds in one day.

I really hate meat so I'm eating dish daily. The only other source I can really tolerate that's pretty high in Protein is cottage cheese.

I hate cottage cheese.< /p>

chicken, fish, turkey, ground beef, lean steak, shrimp, scallops, tuna, pork tenderloin, low fat cheese, skim or non-fat milk, Beans, hummus - all great sources of Protein. And no, you can't "live on Water and not eating" and you Ms. Mami know that. It's not sustainable, it's not healthy, and it's a sure formula for slowing your weight loss. Once you get the vomiting under control you'll be on your way! Keep us posted on what your doctor says and I'm sending you tons of white light!!

chicken makes vomit. I'll try ground beef. Idk about turkey. Shrimp makes me vomit I try it a few times. Had tuna once that went down well. I do well with steak. Scallops I'm not a fan. Can't eat pork makes me vomit. cheese only 1oz mazerella & queso de papa. I can have low fat/skim milk. Beans no longer stays down. I don't know what's hummus? If I don't know it I won't eat it Lolz

Actually I'm losing weight even if I don't eat. I'm not proud but I'm not gonna keep going to the hospital opening my stomach. I think it's affecting me more then anything. I'm going to tell my surgeon everything. I think it's because I'm still fresh with surgery. I'm stating positive & praying soon I will benormal. Everyone around ne us getting tired of me & my vomiting.

Send Me hugs what's white light Lolz thanks

LOL - white light is all good things wrapped up in one! Don't give up on all the things you like because of vomiting. Wait a while and then try "X" again. If it doesn't work, wait a while and try it again. Sounds like your pouch is pretty trigger happy but it will eventually pass. None of which is meant to imply that continual vomiting is normal. You definitely want to get with your doctor and get that under control. They have lots of options and I'm confident they'll have you back on track in no time!! You're a true inspiration to so many Mami - I know you've got the "right stuff" to get past this!!

Oh I know I guess it's something my body us going threw before it actually enjoys food & stops vomiting. I'm vomiting less but when I try something different out it goes but I'm trying.

Yes they are. Do they sale unsalted sunflower seeds? I love them!

Yes they do sell unsalted seeds. I have also seen lightly salted with sea salt.

The salt in the seeds could be causing some of the Water retention if that's what it is. I'm not a doctor so you should tell your surgeon about your pepita habit. Lol

Mami, this might be strange but have you tried baby food? ? When I had my 1st surgery I would find the ones with the most Protein and add unflavored protein to it...some of those baby foods are yummy and they are the perfect size!

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 just started being like this. Seriously. I can work out for 3 hours a day and still just need Water and be ok. Weird huh. I can't understand why I'm not hungry. But I'm not at all.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
