Food & Liquid Is A No No I Need Help



Recommended Posts

I'm having the hardest time with eating with no liquid, Every time I eat, I have liquid close by and end up drinking during my meal. I've gotten food stuck & I felt is if I was going to choke without the Water to push it down. Sometmes I spit up when I'm too full, or eat too fast, or It's just not going down. Does anyone else have this problem with liquid and meals? :help:

Something that my doctor suggested: he said if you must have something to drink while you eat, fill a glass with ice and have it next to you with your meal. Whatever melts while you're sitting there, you can sip on -- that way it won't be too much to wash the food through, but yet you can get a little wetness in also.

Prebanding, I was one of those ppl that had refill after refill, now I get a glass of Water with my meal and a to go cup with ice, so I can take it with me when I leave, much more enjoyable after you leave.

Just remember if you drink with your meal, you're pushing your food through and encouraging that stuck feeling and you'll lose that full feeling a lot faster.

Drinking and eating isn't a problem for me......one sip and everything comes up. I can throw Water up at any temperature. I drink Propel and Special K protien water.......When we go out to dinner with friends I have a Cappuccino

when they are all drinking. Caffine is my drug of choice. It keeps me from wanting bread. Bread is another bad choice. Sometime I chew a garlic knot for taste....but never swallow it......then the night would be over for me.That would get stuck in a NY minute.

      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.
