6 months out. Still cant eat much!



Recommended Posts

I still live mainly on cream Soups n very mushy things. I do do things in the crockpot and pick at them all day to get something in. Even then it's no more than 3 bites at a time. I've lost almost 80lbs n 6 months. Anyone else?

I've lost 84 lbs in 5 months but I have no problem with my schedule and food. I have a Protein Shake for Breakfast and another one for dinner, eat one of the following as a snack: jell-o, chobani yog, low-fat string cheese, cottage cheese with fruit, low fat turkey Snacks or some trail mix, and have fish or chicken for lunch with either salad or steamed veggies. I always get more than 80g of Protein per day. I stay away from meat, I did not love it before surgery either, so I stick to mostly fish.

Maybe you have a stricture.....

Have you talked to your doctor about this? After six months it seems like you should be able to eat more than that. I am only about 3 weeks and I can eat more than you. I'd check to make sure you are getting enough and stay healthy. Good luck!

      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.

      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.
