I just don't get it. I can't figure out my new stomach at all. Most days I throw up what very little I eat.. It doesn't matter what it is. We haven't been able to figure out the triggers.. But today.. It's like I couldn't get enough food.. I ate the most food I have eaten since my conversion surgery today. 1 entire Protein bar.. salad with chicken.. Another antipasto salad.. 3 bites of pizza... And a ton of water! Granted I didn't eat an entire salad but I didn't puke either... Anyone else have these days????

Sorry, you lost me? You had conversion surgery today and you are eating WHAT? When was your operation? What was your conversion - lap band to RNY, lap band to Sleeve?

Because this is your 38th post, I am assuming you had surgery at least a month or two ago. How are you doing with the primary daily requirements: Protein, fluids, Vitamins? food is secondary, because your body is converting stored fat into the energy that drives your body, thus you lose weight. Just stick to the meal volume requirements and the approved food lists.

On one hand, you find it difficult to consume food which might be an indicator that you had a stricture. Perhaps your body self corrected the stricture and you suddenly now can eat. So eat! But remember to limit your volume and select only from the approved list. pizza is not on the approved list.

I was a sleeve to bypass conversion in August. I do stick to my meal plan and the pizza I should have mentioned was a home made cauliflower crust pizza the size of my palm. Not a traditional pizza. I stick to my meal plan and my volume is non existent most days due to the amount of liquid I have to consume. In my post it was literally 2 cubes of grilled chicken and 4-5 forks of lettuce that was cut at each meal and the pizza was the size of my palm and I only got in a few bites. I am happy I was able to keep that down. Most days I can't keep anything solid down. There is nothing wrong with my pouch, had testing.

      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.
