Why are some days so hard to eat?



Recommended Posts

I've noticed some days I can eat the same food where one day I feel fine and the next time my sleeve doesn't seem to like what I'm putting in it? Have you experienced this? Today lunch, I've had a few times before but this time it is not sitting well. I'm almost 10 weeks out from surgery. Think it's just where I'm still healing?

2oz sliced chicken breast

1 boiled egg

2 TBL Peanut Butter with celery

Might be a bit much food, and the celery might be tough on the pouch (thinking of the "strings").

I have days like that too. I'm 8 weeks out. Some days, nothing tastes good and I'm slightly nauseated by the thought of food, and other days I'm fine. From what I have read, this is kind of a phase and will pass. Strangely enough, refried Beans are one of the things I really like.

My Bariatric dr told me not to be in a hurry to eat whole foods, to stay on the Protein Drinks and soft foods for at least 3-6 months. I am 7 1/2 weeks postop. Eating foods that might be gaseous causes the stomach to bloat and makes the stomach to spasm. I ate refried Beans one night after getting a huge craving for mexican food, an boy did i feel miserable. It felt like my stomach was going to split. I do 2 Protein drinks, 1 for Breakfast, 1 for lunch. If i get hungry in between i snack on cottage cheese an apple sauce. I've been eating stage 3 gerber baby foods. Not too bad. Another help for cravings is eating sugar free popsicles, helps with Water intake as well. Instant oatmeal is good. My trouble is drinking enough water. I sip all day but still only consume about 30-40 oz. i dont have a scale so i wait to go to the drs office, i can tell by my clothes i am still losing. Last time i weighed was 3 weeks out, and had lost 15 lbs. still going. Good luck to you all.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
