Sickness and that burning sensation



Recommended Posts

Hey all. Does anyone experience sickness after eating. I'm chewing and sometimes I get the urge to be so sick that even liquids won't go down. I'm finding that already processed food or cakes and biscuits go down with ease are being my meals... Can anyone suggest alternatives. I have 6.5ml in a 10ml band

Thanks x

Hi,

It's an intense burning sensation in my chest and until I'm sick it doesn't go away. My sickness is full of saliva however it's very goopy- sorry sounds gross. Similar to a streaming nose. I'm at a loss as i would love to sit down to a meal.

Thanks x

One more ? What do you mean "until you are sick"? Are you throwing up?

I'm not understanding what you mean by being sick? Please explain?

Sorry, but I'm just not understanding your issue? It sounds like you're not chewing food enough and taking big bites and/or eating too fast? Sliming(excess saliva) is a result of food backing up into your esophagus. This happens when food gets stuck in your stoma. Food sticks when you eat too big, chew too small and/or eat too fast.

Sounds like bread or maybe starchy foods are a No No for you for right now , also when your talking about the runny ,slimming mucas nose stuff , sounds like a stuck episode , this is just a opinion ,it happens to me sometimes if I think I am not satisfied & want to be full ,yes there is a difference it takes a lot of time to get used to , again I am just talking about my experience , NOT anyone else's.

Thanks both.

Since my surgery no one has really advised me on what I can and can't eat. I don't really eat salad or vegetables and as much as try to eat them. Am I missing something really obvious as I'm not experiencing weight loss either.

A consult with the Dr's nutritionist is always a good start. Bariatric nuts can advise you much better than we can since they have one on one time with you. In the meantime, watch these videos. The only caveat I would add to these videos is that some doctors do not want you drinking with your meals.

What are you eating? What does a typical daily meal plan look like? Do you snack? Are you feeling hunger between meals?

Thank you both for your support

A typical day is

Tea/coffee

Breakfast: cereal(weetabix) or porridge

snack: 2 rich tea biscuits with a drink

Lunch; baked potato with beans( I manage to eat the skin)

Tea: Soup or Pasta. However I find that if I'm sick I just grab something light once the slimming has passed.

I find I hard to eat on my own as my 2 year old doesn't leave me alone to eat, which he doesn't understand as to why I need to take time.

I don't think I'm in the green zone yet but I don't know if it's head hunger of tummy hunger- how do you distinguish.

I really appreciate your help xx

You should go in and have a consult with your doctor. In my opinion, you are either too tight or you don't follow the rules when eating? Do you slime when eating biscuits or Cereal?

All of the foods you are eating are on most of our lists of foods to avoid. They're slider foods. That means they slide through the band without much difficulty(if you're following the rules).

There's virtually no Protein in your diet and Protein should include about 50-70% of your diet now. Did you watch the series of videos I posted earlier?

If you want to be able to tell the difference between hunger and head hunger, try not eating Breakfast and lunch one day. That will educate you what true hunger is? Drink your Breakfast and lunch(shakes) and your tummy will let you know.

      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.
