@jasleeve.... I only had 2 episodes of being sick I can only imagine what you are going thru.

The texture of scrambled eggs is unnerving to me but i did chop a boiled egg over my spinach this morning and enjoyed that quite a bit

Ive lost 57lbs since surgery

Dumping is actually rapid gastric emptying. For me I broke out in a sweat about 10 min after eating egg salad. I theb had vomiting and diarhea at the same time, dizzyness and almost passed out.

Thank you! At this very moment im pondering what safe new food I will try.

Thank you Lissa! I do want to be healthy ((Hugs))

I was sleeved june 25. I had a dr appt this past monday and id lost 57lbs. My dr and nut expressed concern that i may be developing an eating disorder. I will only eat baked chicken breast, cooked spinach, small pieces of sharp cheddar cheese, and of course my protein shakes and water. I expressed my concern to my dr that I have developed a phobia around trying new foods because im one of the few sleeve patients that actually " dumps". He insisted that my fears are red flags to the onset of a possible eating disorder and that I need to work towards developing a healthy relationship with food. I am seeing my therapist next tuesday because I know that if my husband and kids werent watching me I would just drink my shakes. Im interested in knowing if anyone else conquered irrational food phobias post op? Positive/insightful/ responses welcomed

Im an Alabama sleever Dr Andrew Dewitt @Princeton Baptist Medical Center did my surgery. He and his team are great!

I had 2 days of swelling and not being able to keep down fluids and I thought I would not make it. I admire your courage and strength and sincerely hope that no errors were made during your procedure and that you make a speedy recovery.

Oh no! Lol

I would love to believe that I could enjoy all things in moderation but I am one of a few sleeve patients that has dumping syndrome. This makes me very scared to even think about trying new things

I hope when I lose more weight mainly because I have this one stubborn hair on my chin. I already have six children, one husband, and four dogs so I am not wanting or needing to increase my family size I simply want this one hair to vanish and never come back

I slept on my stomach on the 2nd night after my surgery.

Im not worried about how he will treat me but he is worried about me leaving him. Lol

I tell everyone I can. My husband does not want me to tell anyone but when I reach my goal I plan on upgrading anyway so I do not care what he thinks.

There is nothing wrong with lurking in the powder room and as long as you are not having any discussions that are inappropriate it is fine.

Lip balm Toothpaste/toothbrush Cell phone charger Soap(had to wash up at sink bec I was so hooked up to different machines) Glasses instead of contact lenses

Maybe a few weeks from now when I have more courage I will try miracle whip. Lol

I miss bbq ribs, pasta salad, oxtails, fried fish and anything made with mayo like egg or potato salad

I used to love eggs too but now they make me dump. I used to like seasoned foods but now my taste buds are ultra sensitive and I love plain foods like plain oatmeal. On another note my sense of smell is heightened

Yes the first 48hrs were almost.constant dry heaving. It was horrible and even ice chips made me gag violently.

4 days

Total lost on low carb and liquid pre op 45
