Hi everyone sorry to come on and moan but i feel really down today the first time since i had the bypass done 8th march. I keep trying to eat lumpy food and just carn't seem to manage it. I can only eat 3 mini weetabix for breaky as if i have any more i cannot eat all day. I am having half of a small tin of heinz soup for my dinner and the last 2 days i have tried to eat half a wwshepherds pie i only have about 4 teaspoons and it is like a brick in my stomach and i have to throw up. I am feeling really down and i know i have lost a lot of wheight and should be happy but i am feeling really washed out. I am sorry to go on and moan but i feel really sad.

you are still early days Janey and myself I could only eat 2/3 spoons even now I can only manage small amounts some days Like yesterday all I had was 1/2 piece of toast and 2 crumpets all day

You will get there in the end and soon your head will tell you when you are full I get a rumble and when I feel/hear it I no if I have more I will be sick lol

Take care

Janey, didn't want to read and run, but you are early days and are doing really well. Listen to your body and eat when you feel like eating and you will be ok. As teen said listen to body and not your head, your body will tell you when you are full.

Hi,
I am so sorry your feeling like this, But to be honest with you I was exactally the same and I still struggle with food everyday, Its horrible, but The last 2 weeks for me has been a bit better, I think everyone goes through this and it really does just take time to get used to eating normal foods again.
I am sorry I'm not much of a help, But really do know what your going through and I am sure it will get better.
I found by eating soups for a couple of days helps, and then try again on the more lumpier foods. Somedays my stomach tolerates foods and then another day it doesn't, Just have to keep trying out differnet foods and going back to foods which you didn't do well on and see how it goes, Thats all I do.
Hope your feeling better soon.
Fab Weightloss by the way, Your doing Great! (((HUGS))x

im a bander im sorry i cant offer any advice, but i hope you feel better soon and i think things will improve as time passes by xxx

Your doing brilliently, we all struggle to eat what is required in the early days it does get better, i am only now managing what i call a reasonable portion, i was like you for several months due to complication, you will find what works best for you, some days you will eat more than others

Really sorry to hear your not well. Im pre band so cant help, but if you look at the inspiration slide show (at the top of the page) it might cheer you up though. I know it works for me. xx

So sorry to hear your feeling so down - you have done brilliantly and i'm sure you will have down days and up days just remember once a down day has gone it's over. Start afresh and try and be as positive as you can - just look in a mirror and smile. Take care and look after yourself x

Just keep ploding away hun, it's not an easy journey this but well worth it. I couldnt eat without being sick at least once a day for about 7 months. I had to live on liquids pretty much.

Thanks for that, hope you don't mind me asking but did you feel exhausted all the time and faint?

 

[wannaloose18stone]

Oh yes I did get tired very easily. I found that I couldnt do anything to physical as I fatigued very quickly. I still do get a bit of a funny turn now if I exert myself to much, good job I'm single ........... lol. ;-)
