It's probably perfectly "safe", but one of our cardinal rules is no rice, bread or Pasta, especially in our losing stages. They are just empty carbs with little to no Protein. I did add more carbs in the form of whole grains and fruit once I passed my goal weight, but even boiled rice isn't worth all those carbs and calories to me.

Don't you just hate it when they are right lol.

I've had similar experiences. When I asked my NUT she said higher fat foods will cause this because our new pouch can not handle all that heavy fat. It's a learning experience I guess as far as what we can tolerate. I guess it a version of dumping for sleeve patients....I definitely swear and run to bathroom after a wrong choice.

SOME sleeve patients do dump, but it's much more common for bypass patients. At least that's what we learned in pre-op class.

I thought sleeve patients did not "dump" but that sure sounds like what I have read dumping is like. I am sorry you had this experience. Hope you are feeling better now.
Summer

First off, 25 pounds in six weeks is not slow! I don't know where some people are getting these unrealistic expectations of how fast they should be dropping weight post-sleeve. I haven't had mine yet (scheduled for Sept. 1), but I've done a TON of research and watched a lot of youtube videos and read a lot of blogs from post-op sleevers and I am hoping to be able to lose about 10 pounds per month post-op. If you've lost 25 pounds in 6 weeks, that means you're already 20 pounds ahead of my 6 week goal!
Secondly, I think 300-500 calories a day is too little 6 weeks out. You should be aiming for 600 I would guess. Have you talked to your nutritionist?

She didnt mention what or when she ate last so id lean more towards a glycemia issue.
And again with the dumping syndrome. With sleeve patients it is very, very rare to have this. And its usually brought on by eating extreme amounts of sugar's. I am sure there are individual cases where its triggered by less but again its pretty rare.

I had that issue (I think I know what you mean) and still do sometimes. For me it felt like stuff was going in faster then the air could come out and it just kind of got stuck. Gas strips helped a little. Usually after I burped a couple times it would letup. Sometimes I get hiccups and then the feeling will go away.
I would suggest eating slower and always having some type of gas relieving meds handy. If it keeps up, you need to talk to your doc about it. Hope this helps a little bit....

Glad to have a check in source aka fellow June sleevers...
band to sleeve revision Surgery 6/24

No regrets but the recovery time has been much more grueling, slow and emotionally painstaking than the band. I go back to work Monday but am still extremely sore on my left side..convinced I pulled a muscle.. Also still tire easily.. Seems the left side pain diminishes after 3 wks or so, would anyone agree?
Experimenting with foods and have been focusing on Protein Shakes and Soups but can get greens down too.. Also experimenting with a lil bit of juicing. Last two days had some avocado and quickly feel nauseous, though it's soft maybe it's too pastey for me to have just yet..
Idk how some people have been drinking alcohol 1 wk or so out. I had three sips of wine yesterday and combine that with the avocado I wanted to die from feeling overfull. I love my wine and avocados and I know in time I will be able to have both in moderation but as of now I'm terrified to try it again..

Band to sleeve revision. Surgery was June 26th. 2 days in hospital. Surgeon had me on puree's from day 1. Dairy has not agreed with me. My belly is far too irritated. I went to Clear liquids and I seem to be tolerating that pretty well. Mostly only having lactose free Protein shakes, broth, popcycles, and hot tea.

I was able to eat soft foods on day 3. Pretty crazy, doctors orders. Anyone else?

Sleeved on June 18th. Currently on full liquids. I also get the stomach quivering going on especially when I drink the Soups. I hope this will subside after my new stomach heals
