Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 Hi, I'm new to the site and am looking for others to talk to about the surgery, after effects, etc. I had my surgery April 21 and as of this morning I'm down 63 pounds. I'm finding that some days I can tolerate certain foods, but other days I'm in agony throwing up from the same foods. Has this happened to others? I'm avoiding rice and breads, and am usually having yogurt for breakfast, soup or tuna for lunch and generally chicken with some veggies for dinner. Sometimes I snack on low fat crackers (2 or 3) in mid morning. And sometimes a peeled, seeded tomato for an afternoon or evening snack. I'm watching my protein and sticking to 1,000 cals or less a day. I find I'm afraid to try new foods because of the vomiting. While I'm glad I have had the surgery and would do it again, I find that I don't enjoy food anymore. Perhaps that's a good thing? Any feedback would be appreciated. thanks Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest guest Posted June 25, 2004 Report Share Posted June 25, 2004 hi. i also am new to the site. i had my surgery april 26 and im down 38lbs. i also vomit regularly but i know its because im eating too much too fast and not chewing it enough. i eat whatever i want. but things i use to be able to eat i can no longer eat like eggs, beef and sometimes chicken. i get my protein thru cheese and wont eat bread or rice. chili is great for me. burger king has a great chili small and portable. im good for 2 bites of whatever i eat and then i need to stop and go back a little later on. i would never go back to the way i was and know that if i didnt have the surgery i would be miserable with summer here! pooch ________________________________________________________________ The best thing to hit the Internet in years - Juno SpeedBand!

Guest guest Posted June 26, 2004 Report Share Posted June 26, 2004 Hi! I am pretty new to this site also. Have only posted a couple of times. I had my surgery on May 25. I have lost 25 lbs. I find eating difficult sometimes, like I just don't want it. I do not eat bread or rice either and can eat chicken and chili. I do get pains sometimes when I guess I am eating to fast or not chewing good enough. I get my protein in but I do find it hard to get in all my fluids by the time I wait 30 min before and 30 min. after eating. I do get close but do not get it all in.
