Surgery was 12/14 eating questions



Recommended Posts

I am at the puree stage. My dietitian has me having three half cup servings of high Protein foods per day and 1 Protein Shake to split up throughout the day...and of course Water. By the time I almost finished with my half cup serving of puree food I feel the squeeze type feeling which I assume is my stomach saying "hey you're done!" I'm doing well with not drinking a half hour before or after eating. What is worrying me is that I still kinda feel hungry an hour or so later. While I know I'm not consuming much I'm worried I have such an appetite so early. I haven't eaten more when I'm hungry but I want to know how to keep myself in check. Maybe I'm just bored. I just don't want to mess anything up. I have heard many day they really don't have an appetite so...why do I? :( I hope nothing is wrong. :/

I too was sleeved on 12/14 and I am on the purée stage. I drink 2 Protein Shakes a day plus some purée foods like Soup, yogurt, oatmeal, etc. I too feel hungry about every 2 hours. I asked my doctor about this and she said that was normal and when I feel hungry to eat or drink something. I also worry that I am taking in too much so I'm going to start to measure my purée in a 4 oz cup so i don't eat more than I'm supposed to. Try staying full on Water and Protein shakes so that your stomach doesn't feel empty.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      I would like to know what questions you wish you had asked prior to your duodenal switch surgery?
