Well!

I'm 3 weeks post op

I'v tried some eggs and within 2 or 3 small bites I get all yucky and puke!

So I went back on liquids. Today I had a few tiny bites of chicken and got that pukie feeling again. This time I took slow deep breaths and the feeling left. Is anyone else feeling this way?

Am I always going to feel like this?

I had my surgery 6/10 and still cannot eat. I know within minutes if it is going to come back up. The most I can eat is 1-2 TBL. I usually cannot eat at night at all??? I can eat about a half of egg and it is ??? whether it will stay down. I get a terrible feeling and then thick mucus comes up (TMI). I do a little better if I don't drink thirty minutes before I eat and wait 45 minutes after I eat. I have to take little bity bites and chew chew chew! Wait between bites. Tried watermelon last night and I knew immediately that I had messed up with the first bite. I was able to get a few bites of potato Soup from Scholtzsky's down today at lunch and so far so good!

I have had my surgery on April 24, 2014. Don't panic, focus on what goes down well. That is what the bariatric nurse told me. Try something new every now and then. One day it will sit well in your pouch, the next day it might not. For the first six weeks I have experienced nausea and puking at least once a day. Once my pouch was upset, it didn't want anything the rest of the day. I thought it would last forever....

I am 14 weeks out now and I can eat so much more than those first weeks! Stuff like potatoes or meat still won't sit every day, but I found out that my new me loves fish and seafood a lot. Which has Protein as well. It will get better, trust me!

      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.
