They say the bad foods go down easier then healthy sometimes but I bet that cupcake tasted like heaven - you deserved it... & yea when I did tuna yesterday it had me feeling yuck so I won't be trying that again & today I just ate hard boiled eggs & I had no bad reaction...

Oh ok, ik Baylor Carrollton or maybe that is the one that has one - I need to go to one soon - I think it would help to see some people in person that might be goin thru the same thing as me... Wow you live around here to then - I stay off Frankford/Vail in that area... Well we need to meet up @ some point... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks so much, pleas keep the prayers come'n... I managed to get 40+ protein in today so hopefully tomorrow will try for 60.. Breakfast - 1scrambled egg & 1/2 of beef sausage stick Lunch - 1/2 cup tuna fish(included egg & small amount of miracle whip/pinch of sugar Snack - 1/2 banana w/ 1tblspn of PB Dinner - 1 4oz talapia steamed in a foil pack(added some salt/pepper/2lemon slices Tomorrow I will start earlier w/ protein shake as a snack between breakfast & lunch - anything I eat I get the stuck feeling right now but the fish was good & filling & didn't have me feeling sick @ all like that tuna did earlier... Still working on liquids.. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Oh wow, I haven't thrown up or don't ever even feel like I want to-it just feels stuck for a few seconds & makes me lean forward & kind of pay my chest... It's so annoying - I hope it subsides for all of us soon... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Your so lucky, my side I can deal w/ but the feeling going down I could go w/ out - yesterday I was a few oz away from getting in my 64 oz of water so I'm doin better w/ that... Ik or @ least I pray it will get better w/ that feeling - I wanna it to feel like it did before I was sleeved... Thanks for the encouragement Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hey, I'm drinking ok most if the time but seems like everything I eat gets this stuck feeling for a few seconds & then goes away - I want that feeling gone - I want it to feel like I did before I got sleeved... Other then that my left side still hurts but those are my only 2 issues... Glad you are eating well... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yes I'm have'n those days as well - I'm having this stuck feeling when I ate & I don't like that - I want that gone ASAP... I did 1/2 a banana earlier & put a little peanut butter on it - but every thing I eat sits there a 2nd & then goes down & I hate that feeling... Ugh I think I could have stuck to 1200 calories & exercised & loss slowly but surely but who knows what's done is done & ig if my side still didnt hurt & we didn't have to eat & drink @ a snails pace it would be easier... Adaption to this is a lil difficult & whoever said this is the easy route I would tell them depending on your experience its not.. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hello I was sleeved on 9/12 as well & have any of you had an issue w/ feeling the food go down or does it feel normal like it did before you had he surgery... I started soft foods today & well I'm having a lil trouble Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'd like to ask everyone a question here - has anyone regretted their decision of the sleeve since surgery???? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Same here, I didn't feel full w/ the egg but I didn't want to push it Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yes I am-its a lil better now though... I had water today but seems easier w/ a lil crystal light.. Sent from my iPhone using VST

Yes let me know - but I made tuna fish for lunch & maybe that was too much too soon - didnt throw up but it wasn't good like it usually is to me & I'm use to eat'n it on bread & etc... Will just start lighter - might have fish for dinner... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Well just not to along ago got back from 1st follow up appt... Have only lost 3lbs since surgery which now puts me @ 218 - boy will I be glad when I am under 200, but the nurse encouraged me that it's ok b/c just last Wed & Thurs be'n back in the hospital & having 3 bags of IV fluids pumped in me I have a lot of Fluid still sit'n in me... I asked all the questions I could think of & I feel a lot better but side still hurts which she said is normal & that each day to keep walking & it will get better... I am a little tired today which she also said is normal & can last a few weeks to a few months but to hang in there I will have a day that I wake up & actually feel normal again... Wasn't really suppose to start soft foods till Wed but she told me to go ahead & start them gradually so I came home & fixed me a soft scrambled egg w/ a lil piece of Sargenta cheese(very little) & a very very small piece of smoked beef sausage - I could feel it goin down but it didn't hurt - it did feel stuck for a brief second but it passed very quickly... I can't say I just feel full but I'm not push'n it - in a few minutes will start drinking my Water for the day... It made me feel normal to chew & although no nausea just a lot of burping...

???? Thanks & you are exactly right!!!! Sent from my iPhone using VST

Actually meant not bruised but a lot of scar tissue... Sent from my iPhone using VST

My surgery was 9/12 & I still have left side pain from that bigger incision... Went back to hospital on this past Wed b/c if dehydration & my side - they did a cat-scan & mine was just bruised real bad but not any issues that would cause any other issues... Good luck & yes it's normal - I've read on this site numerous people have this on the left side - I believe also that is where they pulled out the stomach... Hope yours gets better soon...
