3 weeks out today really bummed



Recommended Posts

It's just getting to the point where no matter what I eat, from Protein Shakes to soft scrambled egg. I feel so gross after I eat,I don't want to eat anything. I eat slowly, and the right things but I'm either in the bathroom or I feel like I'm going to foam out and barf. And in the middle it sounds like something is going to pop out of my stomach like in the Alien movie. 3 weeks out I know isn't long but jeez you'd think id be okay for those things. And why does nothing taste the same still? And why do I want fish? I hate fish! Lol....still hanging in. Just wanted to vent. Thanks all

All I wanted was fish, also, kinda weird, huh? If you're having any doubts, call your Dr. Things should be easing up for you any day now...

Just started my 4th week post op and have been able to eat pureed foods. I take all kids of foods and puree them till they are like baby food and then eat with a baby spoon so I don't take large bites and have been able to keep everything down that I have made. That might help you out. I tried to eat a poached egg and it did not sit well but pureed refried Beans do it is so odd. Hope you find something that your are able to eat and keep down.

I am 5 weeks post-op today and felt the same way. I started feeling a bit better a few days ago. It's funny, I always hated fish and I've been craving it now too! What we're going through will pass. Good luck!

I am almost one month out. I am sick of Protein Drinks and puréed foods. yuk!!! I know this too shall pass and I am so proud of my 25 pound weight loss. Just feel sorry for myself sometimes but glad I did the surgery. When I go shopping down the line I will be grinning ear to ear. Let's hang in there together!!!!

25 days out. Supposed to be on puréed/chopped foods. Tried baby food, can't do it, instead I'm just chew chew chewing blandish food. It's true, nothing tastes the same. Starting Friday I can add in "normal" food. I'm sick of the sweet dang shakes. Siddi yogurt while sour takes me 45minutes to eat.

There was a post I read a bit ago about what people were having for dinner this week. It gives me hope. Normal fresh meals are coming. And I too want fish, but I loved it before-a bit scared that I won't like it as much.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
