how long before u started eating again
hey guys quick question. how long did yall go before u started eating solid foods again. the dr told me i could start eatting fish eggs and cottage cheese 1 week after surgery. ive been eatting only couple of bites a day and then full liquids the rest of the day but ive noticed its taking me a bit to loose weight. im 2 weeks out and have gone from 284 to 256.. should i stick to the full liquids a bit longer?
I had my surgery the end of Nov and am in my 7th week. I still can't eat much in the way of solid food without throwing up. I was at my surgeon's office last week and he told me that my stomach is still healing and that there still is some inflammation and that it will take time for my new sleeve to relax and settle in. He also gave me a Rx for an antacid and it helps. I am going really slow with solid foods. One day and egg is fine and the next it is agony and I throw up. Everyone is different so my advice is basically trial and error. What works for some may not for you. I am learning to understand and love my sleeve and each day I am able to adjust and get more nutrition. I will say that I love soft foods and liquids but am timid on solids even if I chew and chew and eat painfully slow. Having said that my surgeon also told me that despite throwing up to keep at it and keep working to consume solids as best I can tolerate because it will improve and it is the only way for my sleeve to settle in the where it should be.
