I don't like eating or drinking!
I am almost three months post-op and I can honestly say that I don't like to eat or drink. Anything that goes down sits like a rock in my stomach for quite some time. I don't think there is an issue, but it sure makes me not want to eat or drink. I get enough food in and I am trying like heck to get all my water in, but it quite often makes me feel noxious. Does anybody else feel like this?
Debbie, I am not quite 3 weeks post op & I'm feeling the same. Was hoping it will go away but by the sounds of your post, maybe not! I have been trying lots of different things, & living with the "consequences" of eating. About the only things I can tolerate are cottage cheese, yogurt, pudding (sf of course) & 1 egg either scrambled or poached, which surprisingly don't seem to bother me. Everything else is just too heavy.
Luckily I can drink unlimited amounts of water (it has to be flavoured though - Crystal Light, Mio) but food for me is just blah.
I do know that the consequences for not eating would be much worse than what I'm feeling. Sure makes it easy to not over indulge though!!
I hear you. I am 2 months out and hate eating. Today has be surprisely a really good day with food for me. I am afraid of what tomorrow will bring. I do find that if I skip a meal the discomfort is worse. So I am doing my best to stay on track but it is so difficult. I have had so much discomfort the past couple of weeks that I actually end up vomiting.
I have even tried Papya enzymes. No luck!
Here's to our pouch's being more cooperative in the future!
Well I was nauseated all the time and I just went and had an endoscopy and I have inflammation in my stomach and they are checking for infection. They gave me pills and just today i started drinking and eating and actually liking it. I hated it before. So if you always feel sick then get checked. I was hospitalized twice with dehydration.
