I can eat something one day and the next I can't tolerate it?



Recommended Posts

Hi all!
I'm 45 days post op and I find my pouch confusing...I discovered ricotta bake when I first started puree foods. I ate it for dinner for days, and then one night two bites in I was in discomfort and it bounced right back out. Ricotta in general, tried it again on it's own. I was fine. Tried it another day and it bounced. Scrambled eggs, good one day, I'm throwing up the next. Same thing with tuna salad on Protein chips.
So I'm wondering, for those who have experienced this, does it become more predictable? Is my body just weird :o)

I am 25 days post op and i have the same problem except this is a constant thing for me. Like the moment i eat i feel like the food isnt staying in my stomach, it bounces back up and i want to throw it up. Its so weird.

I’m 6 months out and this happens to me too. A scrambled egg goes down one day and the next it hurts and comes back up. Same with several things.

I'm not going to lie, it is a little disheartening to hear that six months out you're still having issues with this, as I was/am hopeful that it's something that will resolve. It would be easier if I knew I could just never eat some of these Protein sources, instead of the fine one day followed by discomfort/pain and puking the next. The nurse practitioner for my program who had the surgery decades ago, just said some things will agree with you and some won't and it's up to me if I want to keep trying. tuna is just such a good source of protein though...I'm just hopeful my stomach figures this out.

I'm about 9 months out and this still happens to me. I'm really not sure what it is, but it's weird. I'm starting to sort of intuitively know when it will happen when I see or even think about a food. Sometimes I will see pizza (can be any food though) and feel fine and then have a piece and I'm fine. Other times I get a very faint feeling of queasiness when I see it and every time I've ignored that feeling I've had issues with either vomiting or heavy nausea. It sounds crazy, but I'm really starting to notice a pattern!

See now that I can deal with, any indication would be better than none. So I guess I will just have to pay extra close attention to my body and how I a feeling before I eat something that has given me an issue in the past. It's just hard right now because i find that I am approaching foods that are good for me (high in Protein, low in fat and sugar etc) with trepidation., and I really don't want to feel that way about good food that's supposed to nourish my body. Like I said, it's just been confusing.

I have eaten oatmeal my whole life and after the RNY it was fine while on the soft pureed etc then one morning I had it and it made me sick. I waited a few days tried again same thing. Three times it made me sick so the dietitian said put it aside for a while. Same thing with smoked salmon I love it. Had it with cottage cheese and Avo first bite made my start heaving. With the oatmeal it's fine again now. I'm thinking there were other things going on. I was badly constipated and got very sick. Turned out I had kidney stones. I had them out this week and so far all food has been fine. I had my first sandwich with soft bread in hospital and it was good.

      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.
