Some problems eating post-op



Recommended Posts

Yesterday I drank some Protein Shake and my stomach was just fine with it. Today I drank the same Protein shake and a few minutes after drinking it I felt nauseated. It's getting better now after drinking some other Fluid half an hour later but I'm not entirely feeling good right now.

I wonder if this was early dumping though I'm not sure why yesterday it was fine and today it wasn't. I already had this experience two days ago. Both times the same food and in the morning it wasn't ok, in the evening I tried again and I felt perfectly fine.

Anyone else has this problem?

It likely isn't dumping. I had MONTHS where the same food would be okay one day and not the next (sometimes even during the same day). I don't have an explanation for it, but just to say, you are not alone. I have read it from many people. Often times you can go back to that food in a week or so and it is just fine.

Thanks for your answer. It always feels good to know that you're not alone with certain things.

I had some cold sweats about 20 min after eating and felt very weak. That's when I thought it could be early dumping after all. I drank a chamomile tea after vomiting and my stomach settled again.

Today I ate twice so far and it feels fine. Not sure if I should risk a Protein Shake today.

      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.
