Feeling defeated.



Recommended Posts

Had my surgery on 9/9 and I was doing great just cruising having no nausea or throwing up. This weekend has been rough, I’m starting to introduce more foods and I have never felt so sick. Just feeling down about the whole thing and kinda defeated. I’m scared to eat anything now since I worried I’ll get sick. Anyone else have this?

Yes! I don’t know what got me sick last weekend but I had okay nausea Sunday and Monday horrible. I had introduced canned chicken breast in Water that weekend. I find I have to boil the chicken myself (a friend made me Soup with chicken and veggies and I felt fine- reasoning on how I know). Because the nausea didn’t stop till Monday night I had to call my surgeons office and the prescribed me Zofran. I totally get where your coming from! I got sleeved 10 days after you

It will get better. The early months are hard. Like 2 steps forward, 3 steps back sometimes. It's not at all uncommon to progress to new foods and find out you're tummy isn't ready for them. We're all unique that way and the diet progressions from the doctor's office are merely guidelines. Some people can go quicker, but a lot of us have to go slower, too. It's really discouraging when you get these setbacks, but just be patient. Try those foods again in a week or two and see how it goes. You can do this!

My own post Band care near Christmas 2004 didn't allow solid food before valentine's day. Learned a lot along that stretch, about my food habit. First solid was poached egg. Heavenly.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
