3 1/2 months out- a few observations- anyone else identify?



Recommended Posts

So here are a few things I notice.

I can't eat avocados ????. I throw up almost immediately after.

Sometimes, all I can keep down are a few Pringles - about five. But then the next meal I can tolerate something more substantial.

Noodles are No Bueno! I cannot digest them either- and I throw up after.

I have just had a cold. This is gross, but I have been eating smaller amounts because I am already full from - drainage. Ewe.

I lose a few pounds and then silence from the scales for a week or so. Every now and then my weight will go up a pound or so. But then the loss continues on track.

I really want a food I can eat that I can say, wow, that was awesome!

chicken broth with lemon juice is comforting most of the time.

I go to the grocery store and I wander- looking for something appetizing and something I can keep down.

But overall, I feel better than I did pre op. And people are amazed, but sometimes, I don't see what they see.

I have more energy overall.

I'm about a month ahead of you and Ican have everything. The only thing that makes me feel nauseaus is egg yolks, so I'm only having egg whites. Just got all my blood work done and everything is good, although I'm really tired and haven't been working out much this past week. Also, craving chocolate :(

I am just over 3 months out. I can eat most things. I had some stuffed chicken that was dry and another time a piece of a crescent roll; both of them made me nauseous. I have way more energy than before. My hair is starting to thin. :(

I will be 3 months November 22. I can relate with the grocery store! Shopping is torture. Nothing looks good, so I'm eating the same things over and over. I have been on a major seafood kick. It really has been the few things that agree with me. A lot of talapia, shrimp, tuna, and crab. chicken is hard to eat. So is some beef. I am still completely staying away from junk food and carbs. Feeling pretty darn good! I also walk 5-6 times a week. No Hair loss as of yet.....

      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.
