Burping and reckless diet



Recommended Posts

I don't know what the hell I am doing, I am dying for some major advice. I had my surgery 1/14/2016 almost three weeks post op and I still feel as if I'm screwing up.

I was so swollen yesterday from eating boiled chicken (which I was told I could have it) then a day later one of the nurses said "No you can't have that" so today I tried to just relax and not eat as much, I had tuna and my regular Popsicle and now I have major pressure in my chest. I just feel like I'm screwing up my band. I just don't know what to do. No matter what I eat I feel like I'm screwing everything up.

Please give me as much advice as possible. HELP ME!!

Slow down... This is going to be okay. Shhhhh... There we go.

Okay?

Let's start with "week three sucks." That seems to be universal.

You are healing. Shit's still wacky. Prioritize.

Get Water in first.

Then think Protein.

chicken at this stage should be a slurry. Wet not dry.

And week three sucks.

When you irritate that stomach, its likely to swell and your volumes will be different.

My hub has band, I have sleeve. We are totally different. He is 6 or so years into this, I'm new.

Our priority is water, Vitamins, protein, and then calories and not vomiting as distant goals.

Keep in mind, you need extremely little food to live. You could drink shakes only for the rest of your life and survive well. There is no hurry to "get back to normal". Just chill.

And week 3 sucks.

Thank you for the advice, I'm trying to calm down just don't want to screw up what I waited so long for. Yes week three does suck. I'm just ready to get a swing of things because everything seems wrong.

Thanks for the advice for now on I'm getting my water in before eating.

      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.
