tight pouch after sleeping in...



Recommended Posts

i was wondering if anyone else had a problem with their pouch being way too tight somedays? i've noticed that it happens most frequently when i sleep in, which is super depressing since i am a big fan of sleeping in on the weekends. it gets so bad that i can't eat anything all day. i was wondering if anyone else has this problem and if they had any suggestions on what to do. i've tried drinking lots of fluids and smoothies and what not, but it doesn't seem to do much...it's starting to drive me crazy...HELP!

I experience super super tightness every morning no matter what time I get up. I am only able to eat one bite of a Cereal bar! I am so tight that one little bite fills me up (painfully so) until I get my lunch break at noon. Sometimes liquid is even tough for me. It seems to loosen up in late afternoon/early evening and then look out! If it wasn't for my unwillingess to ruin my progress I would eat everything in sight! The dr. said as long as I am eating something no matter how little in the morning then things are okay. I am still losing weight slow and steady so I won't complain!

      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.

      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.
