What was I thinking!?



Recommended Posts

I just got back from Taco Bell with my son.

I ate a bean burritto, I tore off half the shell so it was mostly just Beans and cheese, and I feel sooooo sick. It's like I ate a six course meal or something.

How long will this last?

Thanks,

Sandie.

Sorry you feel bad Sandie. Today is my last day of mushies. I start semi-solids tomorrow.

Can't help you on how long it will last, I stay very full feeling just from a small amount of mushies.

Definately switch to crispy!!! It's the tortilla, most likely. If I do taco bell, I get Pintos and chips, add some sauce, and get a crispy taco and add the filling to the Beans, break up the taco shell and eat it that way. Small bites, no chewy tortillas!

For now, are you stuck or feeling like you need to PB? Or are you just stuffed to the gills? If nothing is stuck, I'd take tiny little sips of Water or gatorade or whatever every 5 min or so as long as it goes down well. That should help lubricate what's in the pouch and help it pass through. Do this only if it seems comfortable for you, and sounds right. If taking a sip hurts or causes a problem, stop and wait it out. Stretch, or get down on your hands and knees with your butt up, arms stretched forward and rest there a bit.

Good luck, let us know how it goes!

i am having trouble with the not drinking with meals or right after i have to really watch myself.

Me too! I used to drink 2 or 3 glasses of Water or tea while I ate. It's so hard not to have anything now... I must admit that sometimes I just need a small sip or 2 as I eat. :ermm

I do looooove the full feeling after eating only a small amount though. I never, ever seemed to feel full before my surgery. I could eat and eat and eat and just never fill up...

glad to hear you are feeling better. I find that if I stand up straight and open my mouth while tipping my head back (think baby bird) helps. Yeah, I'm weird.

I have no trouble with tortillas, soft or otherwise.

      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?

      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.
