I am about 3 months out and scared to eat... all I eat is eggs all day for my Protein :/ anyone else struggle with this?


I've had and still do have moments of concern about eating. I'm afraid of dumping.

Dumping is more of an issue with the gastric bypass

What worries you about eating?

I'm not really sure.. like, what if I eat the wrong thing and get sick? Or I just eat the wrong thing.. I'm just scared and I want to continue this journey to a healthier me. I'm very bad ad knowing what is okay and what isn't at eating. So I stick to eggs. I had chicken which was so good but I don't want to get sick of it by eating so much so fast.
And I don't know what a "normal" day of eating looks like for other people.

Ambergene...I am on week 5 I've lost 23lbs...this is what I am eating now...

In the morning I start out hydrating and take my bariatric vitamins...after about 30 minutes I usually eat one scambled egg w/ cheese or I have 1/3 cup cottage cheese or Greek yogurt. I continue to hydrate with Water or Protein Shake or Jello or sf popcicles. At lunch I have tuna mixed with mayo or 3 oz chicken or fish. Continue hydrating...Dinner I have yogurt or chicken or fish or cottage cheese. Hope this was helpful

Would you share what you ate during your first three weeks post op? I'm struggling with this! I can't seem to get it together and I'm worried I'm over eating!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
