Operation last week and eating a lot today anyone else had this



Recommended Posts

I feel full on very little. I ate about a third of a cup of pea Soup for lunch today (12:30). And I was as full as I used to feel after any big meal. I didn't get hungry again until 6pm. dinner was a Greek yogurt.

Just out of curiosity' date=' are you able to eat and drink at the same time? Do you experience any acid or indigestion? That is a big factor for me because I am so accustomed to eating fast and pushing things down with Water or milk. I am petrified about having this revisional surgery.[/quote']

You can't eat and drink st the same time. You need to wait thirty minutes before drinking. If u r a revision shouldn't u already follow those rules?

Yes I can eat and drink, you just shouldn't....it allows you to eat more and defeats the purpose of doing this. If I'm out with others I will occasionally have a few swallows of Water, if doesn't harm me or cause pain, I just avoid it because of the reason mentioned above. (I will drink a little when I eat Peanut Butter toast!!!! That stuff is like glue!). Are you a revision from Bang or sleeve???? I'm a former band and 5 months in am so much happier and more comfortable with my RNY then I ever was with that damn band!!! It's so worth it!!!

No I had a VBG which is not performed now. I was always able to eat and drink at the same time. It would just get stuck and eventually pass.

After your RNY revision, you will definitely want to follow your doctor's instructions regarding no fluids for at least 30 minutes before and after eating (some doctors may recommend a longer period). There are some very good reasons for that - do a search for the topic "Why no Water with meals?" on the forum and you'll find lots of good information including a great video.

      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.
