3 months out hard to eat ANYTHING



Recommended Posts

Is anybody having this problem? Even a 10 oz. Protein Shake has to be done in 2 sittings. I sip slowly and eat very slow but I'm at the point where I'm getting a little lightheaded here and there. Sometimes after I eat I also get what feels like the gas pain I had after surgery in my left side. I go back to doc for 3 month check up tomorrow but was just curious...

I'm 9 weeks out and have this issue. It takes me around 2.5-3 hours to drink a Protein Shake. I feel fine unless I exercise; I begin to light headed then and it takes me a few days after to recuperate. I'm very happy with my weight loss thus far though!

Also, I'm not sure about the gas pain. It doesn't sound right, I would definitely mention it tomorrow!

10 oz is a lot! That's more than a cup. I'm pretty sure our stomachs can only handle about a half cup of food at this point. Maybe a cup of liquid, but 10 oz is definitely a lot.

I have my Protein shakes in half servings. I'm only 7 weeks out, but I can't imagine having a whole one in a sitting.

I also have to be very careful about my food or I get horrible chest pain and sliming. I don't think it's super unusual? But if it's bothering you, definitely mention it to your doctor.

      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.
