I was reading about the dumping that may happen and some people pass out And ive only threw up once. Okay, so if you worry about every little thing that could possibly happen, no matter how remote the chance, you are going to drive yourself crazy! Dumping is mainly an issue for bypass patients, and even then, only about 1/3 of them dump. It's really really uncommon for sleeve patients. Since I was a little kid, I've tended to have a weak stomach, get carsick, etc. I also have a ridiculously sensitive vagus nerve, and I tend to pass out for silly reasons. That being said, I have not had any problems because of surgery. I've only thrown up twice. Once was the day I came home from the hospital and tried to take my whole antidepressant for the first time in a coupe days on an empty stomach, which was just dumb of me. And the other time was just a weird combination of factors and was a fluke. Both times I was at home, no big deal. I'm close to 5 months out from surgery, and I've traveled and have gone to plenty of restaurants. In the beginning, when I was introducing new foods, I'd try them at home first to make sure I could tolerate them. But at this point, I really don't worry about it. I just try to make good choices (i.e., not ordering deep-fried crap or chowing down on the bread basket). I've had food from Asian restaurants, Mexican, Indian, German, Italian, bar-and-grill type places, etc. I've spent a weekend camping out in the woods at a Revolutionary War reenactment and eating 18th-century-style food cooked over an open fire. My sleeve has not limited me from doing all sorts of activities--in fact, it has made it possible for me to experience and enjoy life much more than I had been, because now I can physically do a lot more and am not tired and in pain all the time! @@anna9/15, you have got to get some help... you got the surgery because you wanted a new lease on life, right? Don't let yourself spiral into this black hole of anxiety and depression! I say that as someone who also struggles against my own mental demons. Find a good therapist, and get on some meds (at least temporarily). When you're in the thick of a depressive episode, you lose sight of the fact that life does not have to be like this, that you don't have to be miserable, you don't have to be afraid all the time. But we are all here trying to tell you that it can be better--believe us! The medicine is what im trying to do without because i come from a very addictive background and im scared of being hooked on something i can't get off of.since u cant just stop ur medicine cold turkey

One of my fears is being at work and eating something and getting sick or worse passing out

Ok..i am on regular food and doing food , powder and protien from food..i was just wondering.. So if im out at a resturant.how will i calculate the grams in my food? I use MyFitnessPal. Just about everything you can think of is already listed. If not, you can usually find something similar. It really isn't that hard. Guess ill download that, any tricks and tips on maximizing protien intake?

10000 steps?

I see some people further out may not have every meal thats considered healthy, or protien based persay..i guess itll be ok for a treat day every now and again
