Not doing good with foods!



Recommended Posts

Sometimes certain PPI will work for one person and won't for the next. Which one did they give you and what size is it?

I suffer from GERD if I don't take mine - and I had the constant lump sensation. I'm on 20mg twice a day of Omeprazole. I've also cut out a load of things that aggravate it - citrus, etc.

Are you taking it in the morning? If so, what time does the lump sensation come on?

I take mine every morning and I'm fine after my Protein Shake but I eat pureed food around 1 and it starts after that.

I used to take mine first thing in the morning and changed it to 5on because it used to be worse at night. Now it starts about 30min after I wake up and it lasts all day.

The lump feeling is probably eating to fast or not chewing well enough. Hope this helps

Hi, I was just sleeved 5 days ago. I am just wondering what the feeling is that you feel? How do you know it doesn't agree? Is it a pain you feel, vomiting, or dizzy? I have tried soft foods (like Apple sauce and yogurt) and I get this pain in my stomach, but it's the same pain when I drink Water. I'm just trying to figure out if It's my body trying to process or if I actually need to stay clear. What can you eat that doesn't make you sick?

Try eating less. Maybe a tablespoon is all your body can handle right now.

I have the lump feeling and food does not sound good. I'm never nauseous but I have had the feeling that I may gag if I yet to eat. I wondered about the lump feeling. It's not a feeling of something stuck in my throat but like sitting down my esophagus

I talked to a doctor and he said that the lump feeling could be from inflammation in the mucosa. He recommended that I go back to full liquids and take maalox.

I think I am going to have to go check into the baby food. I am not doing well on the stage two...can't drink anymore broth or creamed Soups. I made some Beans and I'm thinking I will mush those up to eat. I tasted one bean and it was the best taste ever! Haha. I was eating gogurts and they really agreed with my stomach until I saw they have 9 grams of sugar, so I cut those out. Even my applesauce (with no added sugar) is 15 grams of sugar. I wasn't too upset about the Apple sauce because it wasn't agreeing with my stomach. Hope I can find something in the baby food isle. Even if It's just fruit uhg.

Check with ur dr on baby food. Mine said do not eat it. I didn't question him because I have a 3 year old and I have tried it. Lol

Believe me any less and I would be eating air. I have found that some of the foods I loved and could tolerate before DO NOT agree with my body. I have to stick with Water and lowfat, no fruit yogurts for now. The sugar content in most of those Greek yogurts are ridiculous. I haven't touched those. My sugar intake should be less than 10g. I ate a small amount of butternut squash Soup and I can already feel that's not gonna work for me either. By the time I'm done with this pre-op diet I will be on a whole different diet. Not complaining, actually excited to see where this will go. I will find a whole knew way of eating....goodness knows I don't need to go back into old eating habits.

I guess I'm not as alone as I thought I was! :) Suppose to go see my NUT on Wed. Hopefully she can give me some insight on what's going on with my stomach. I honestly don't think I could live off Turkey broth, Jello, and popsicles. I tried some Tomato Soup (1 tablespoon) and I was nauseated all day until about 11pm......ate it at 12p. What's wrong with me people!!! :)

I hope all of us get some type of balance with our stomachs soon. I really feel bad for us, especially after reading the posts...but I have to say I am glad I am not in this by my self.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
