Does it ever feel normal again.



Recommended Posts

Yes.. sometimes you have to go back a stage or modify what you're eating... maybe introducing a good you're bdy I'd personally not ready for ??

For instance. Many drink some Decaf coffee early on... I'm three weeks out and it makes me feel sick! So maybe latter....everyone heals different of course but I've commonly read...around six months in, most people seem to be able to eat anything

Just stay strong! Eventually it will all calm down and you'll get used to your new stomach. Some days are better then others but it is all worth it once you learn how your stomach works again!

Keep up the great work and stay strong!

Yup. It all goes back to normal for most folks.

No pain, just feelings of fullness after a cup or so of food. And you will likely be able to eat anything - candy, Cookies, cake, fast food, breads, fried stuff... all with no ill effects.

Some folks do get lucky and still have a negative reaction to eating the bad stuff, but that doesn't seem to be something you can count on happening for sure.

That's why it is sooooo important to get your new healthy eating habits established and rock solid before the first year is out, because chances are very high that you will have no issues eating anything after that. The only thing that will save you and make sure you have continued long-term success is relearning how to eat and what to eat now.

Thank you everyone for the te assurance. I' think my struggle had been kind of well a struggle with dealing with if I want to have more. Or enough to feel full bc the uncomfortableness. But you are right establishing good eating habits should be something I focus on. I'm excited about that.

      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.

      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.
