Unexpected feeling



Recommended Posts

I am one week post op and yesterday was the best I have felt. I set a timer and made sure to eat every two hours , I got my Water in, was up and walking. Today I woke up with heartburn, dry heaves and pain. After doing some research I found that part of it may be I was eating a higher stage baby food than I should have and now I'm terrified I've got food stuck somewhere. Has anyone had this issue? What was the best way to make the pain go away? I'm trying to just relax and have backed down to clear liquid only but wondered if anyone else has experience with this or tips to help it ease more quickly.

relax, it will pass. Just stick to liquids, take it slow and sip

I reckon the Pirate is spot on.

Taking it slow was/is the trickiest bit for me.

Your stomach will let you know if you're rushing it.

Good luck!!

I am one week out as well (sleeved July 29th) and am still on clear liquid diet. Seeing surgeon on Saturday (in 2 days) to hopefully move me to all liquid. Too early for baby food I think (each doctor have their own protocol, mine is ultra careful ₩

      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.
