Eating 2 months after Surgery!



Recommended Posts

How is everyone eating 2 months after Surgery? I am struggling and I have been since the surgery. I can barely eat anything at all. Certain liquids makes me nauseous. And certain foods make me throw up(but I feel like it's stuck in my chest before I throw up)

Any advice?

What am I doing wrong?

I'm 5 weeks post op and just this week I was able to get my Protein in and even ate 600 calories one day. It's tough and there is no way I can fit in 64oz of Water on top of it all. I do sip all day so I am hydrated. Just not 64 oz worth.

I measure my food before eating but depending on what it is I may or may not be able to finish it.

I feel bad if I take one bite too much. My tummy gets all gurgly and my chest hurts. I am still working on what the feeling is before that one bite too much.

I feel like I'm still learning everyday. If I add a new food I know very quickly if it disagrees with me. Usually nausea or just a sick feeling in my tummy.

I've read that 6 months out is a good time to evaluate what your new normal will be.

Take care

Lol don't feel bad at all. I am barely getting just over 500 calories in and I am just under 5 months out. That includes my Vitamins and supplements! I can't even get 30oz of Fluid in. (Which I have talked to my surgeon about!) I was barely even able to eat today. I go in for my 6 month follow up next month! Kind of nervous! Hope yours goes better!

      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.
