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!

      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.
