Struggling to get 200 calories a day now :/

[jdmama911 224]

7 weeks post op. I've been doing great with food. Then, 3 days ago I got really nauseated after I ate only 2 bites at Breakfast and lunch. I brushed it off as maybe getting sick. Yesterday, same thing happened. Today I managed to get down 1/2 an Egg white delight from McDonalds and didn't feel nauseated, but then same thing as before at lunch and an attempted snack. I have ZERO hunger. I am forcing myself to try eating, but I have a hard time mentally even facing a plate of food. I think (due to the fact I got breakfast down ok) that it might be mental, and not stricture? I don't think Im sick now, because I felt awesome today. I don't understand how I can get less than 500 calories in 2 data, but had one of the most amazing swims in at least 5 years (swam for over an hour).

What the heck is going on?!

I am 7 weeks as well. Try these two things... they made a WORLD of difference for me when it came to being able to eat comfortably. I am actually a little annoyed my surgeon didn't recommend anything like this.

Prilosec daily and this probiotic is cheap and literally the best I've ever used. Combine the two in the morning before you eat and it will help.

P.S. I am not getting paid if you click that link. lol Though I should, I recommend to everyone.

Oh P.S. this may be TMI but after about 3-4 days you will have the most productive, amazing BM's ever. I know that is an issue for some of us.

I went to my DR on Wednesday (1 week followup) and told him all the things I was struggling with he recommended the same thing. 1 Prilosec and a Probiotic. I have never taken a probiotic before, but could tell a difference in less than 24 hours. I am not sure if the Prilosec is doing anything, but they say it cold take a few days to start working. I started that today.

Oh, and I went to a nutrition store to get the probiotic. I didn't look at the price even after I paid and today my wife asked me what I bought for $85.00. Yep, that is not a Typo. Can someone say IDIOT?

I have to take a probiotic also. I could not eat or drink anything at first without feeling so sick. After my doctor had me start taking it, I've had no issues with it.

It might be what you are eating also... maybe instead of McDonalds Egg White Delight with all their additives, you just eat a plain egg white at home? I've had those before, and even though they are basically the most healthy thing you can get from McD's, they still aren't "good" for you and the greasiness might be making you sick. :\ I would just revert to plainer things for a couple days so you can get some Protein into you.

It doesnt matter what u eat at McDonalds its all bad i gain 68 pounds in 2 months eat from there which lead me to have this surgery.

It was my PPI...I refilled my weekly pill box and I had forgotten to put it in my box, so that explains a lot. As far as the McDonalds...the egg white delight is one of 2 things I get from there. I get it after my swim before work. It has never made me sick, and I was loosing weight Pre sleeve eating it. My NUT told me that and the Sweet N Spicy Grilled chicken McWrap was fine to get. Im not anti fast food. I just know that there is only 1 or 2 things I can get from each place. No fries, no pop, no fancy coffees either
