I am now 12 weeks out as of tomorrow as are you ....I'm down 50 since operation but find that I have slight to moderate indigestion/ uncomfortable feeling after I eat almost anything. So now I find myself skipping meals rather than get the uncomfortable feeling......anyone else have such problems?

If I eat too quickly or take too large of a bite of food it is uncomfortable. Also certain food seem to bother me like the ribs of leaf lettuce or a small piece of toasted wheat bagel that I tried last week. Couldn't eat tuna for the first many weeks either but now not a problem. Soft foods are still tolerated the most easily. People heal at different rates I guess.

I am also 12 weeks out and down 40 lbs.

Yes definitely, just did that today, skipped lunch. Congratulations, 12 wks out and am down 45 pounds, still can't eat red meat of any kind unless it is ground up and in Soup. I do better with soft and liquid still.

Me too, I always eat too fast and it hurts or it comes back up. I can't eat tuna or red meat of any kind, its too rich. I can't drink carbonated drinks at all, still a lot of gas and upset stomach.

Thanks for the feedback. I definitely still eat too fast and I bet that is a big part of my indigestion. Trouble is I was a fast and big eater all my life and its been a tough habit to break. I take nexium now morning and evening and it seems to be helping. I also bought a Digestive aid in the Vitamin Shop. But its disappointing to to have to eat so little and then feel uncomfortable. The 50 lb weight loss in 3 months has helped ease that pain.

I'm 3 months out and still on mostly soft foods. Sleeved on May 25th. Major Constipation issues. I even got a fisher because of it. Now taking care of that too. Eating is really hit or miss. If it's a miss, I'm in pain for a few hours. If it's s hit, it's usually fish or Soup, or something soft. No lagunes or cooked broccoli or uncooked carrots

      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.
