Just watch for anything abnormal I'd say. If you get stomach pain/fever that can indicate a staple line leak which is serious and you definitely should call your surgeon and tell him the entire story. If this was last night the food has likely already cleared your system and it seems like you got lucky and didn't cause any serious damage but closely monitor for any new symptoms! I do feel fine. Just waiting for my BM to be totally in the clear. Thank you for the care and support. I just had some prune juice and it made me nauseous but I'm gonna count that as normal since I hate it. Also im assuminh that hopefully the nausea means that it's working and moving stuff around in my tract, godwilling. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yes totally normal Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yes, I'm so aware. I could hardly sleep lastnight. I just kept imagining that I would get really sick and possibly die. I have no idea what symptoms to look out for. Could u share some with me? The next thought that kept me up is exactly what u said.....I have no idea how I fit that much in there. The true severity of my food addiction finally showed it's face and that made me worrisome about my future success. Those table spoons of food I mentioned where estimates so I could have over estimated but at this point I don't care how much it was. I wasn't supposed to eat it at all. I must say I feel okay, just as I've been feeling. I haven't had a BM yet but I do feel well. I'm terrified to tell my surgeon. He's very very Stern-as he should be but he's going to scold me so badly and I'll probably cry. I want to just continue like.nothing happened and just never mess up again. I don't want him to know. At the same time I do want him to know. I know I won't make this mistake again, the paranoia and guilt is worse than anything I've ever felt before. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

You'll be fine. The surgery is a breeze. The recovery was very challenging for me but I made it through fine. You'll be fine too especially because you're not as large as the rest of us. Goodluck friend. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Oh wow, I'll be praying for a safe and speedy recovery. I'm glad u can get the help u needed. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I really hope it doesn't. I know I'll be fine once I can eat full liquids. And stock up on the types of things you've mentioned. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Thank you for the only words of encouragement I've received. I've been up worried all night worried. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App Thanks for the luck. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 days post op. And I'm supposed to start on Protein shakes next week and start introducing solids at week 3. Today I went against my Clear Liquids and ate so much and I'm freaking out a bit. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 6 days out and yes I was being woken up at night due to the hunger pains. I've been getting my 48 Oz in too. Thanks for sharing. I don't feel.so alone. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I feel the exact same way friend. I'm 6 days post op and I'm just cruising along fine, breaking all kinds of rules and I'm terrified too. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

So as well.all know today was thanksgiving and boy was it a challenge. I had my proceedure on the 18th (6 days ago) and was advised to be on Clear liquids till the 29th. I tried my best but could not shake the feeling of hunger. My husband gave me a chocolate pudding cup and that helped. But as people with food addictions know all too well, that opened a big wide door. I infused my chicken broth with salsa, allowed myself to eat very small bits of chicken, then ate about 1.5tbs of coleslaw, 2 tbs of stuffing, 2 tbs of garlic bread, 1tbs applesauce and 2tbs of pumpkin pie-no crust. Now, this was not all in one sitting but throughout the day. I feel like scum. So discouraged and disappointed in myself. Physically I feel stuffed. I can breathe and expand my diaphragm fully but I'm uncomfortable for sure. Still trying to get my liquids in though. I don't really know what I'm asking for but perhaps that I'm going to be okay and that this happens? Maybe a scolding? I don't really know but I'd love to hear from anyone..........

They just take your money. Mine just asked me basic questions and didn't even care about my answers lol. My feels were a little hurt. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

What is a stricture? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I need to lose 8 lbs in two weeks or my surgery will be postponed or worse.....cancelled. NO!!!!!!!!! Any tips? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Yeah, I'm sticking get with my PA and not going to.see the DR again Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

And again, thank you for all the wisdom and support. I'm scared that I won't be able to conceive because of my weight too. I mean I'm not even menstruating anymore. and I'm looking forward to being able to nurse and run after my own baby. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I see a PA and about 20 minutes before my appointment with her she had a family emergency and the DR had to step in and see me instead. I should have just rescheduled. My PA is very supportive and has always worked hard for my health. I just don't think this DR knows me and my medical history well enough to try to sway me from my choice.

Thanks friend. That helped. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

Sorry im.all over the place and not making sense with this response. I've had a bad day. I think that she was just trying to sell me a $200/month diet plan and my feelings are hurt. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

I want them now but can't till I'm don't with school which will be in 4 years. And yes, I feel like I'm not even gonna get pregnant like this.i haven't had my period for 6 months. It's because I'm so overweight that I've stoped. it's like......she didn't make sense. I think I'm way worse off being morbidly obese than being healthy and not able to gorge myself to death.

What is severe bile reflux ? Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

My doctor just tried to talk me out of doing the surgery. She says I should do it after having kids. She says I won't be able to feed my baby enough and that I will have nutritional problems. I need some support and advice. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App

That's exactly what I read. Sent from my SM-G530T using BariatricPal mobile app

Hummus is one of my most favorite foods. I must tell u though.....a lot of people will say you can eat it with carrots or celery but that honestly tastes like crap. Hummus is meant to go with pita and/or falafal or even crackers. The problem with that is that it's just too many carbs. So I only eat it when I'm treating myself. Hilarious sidenote....I first read this as "anyone eat humans?" I was so flabbergasted. Lol. Sent from my SM-G530T using BariatricPal mobile app

Yes strange. I'm in California and things like this take longer here so that could be why. Sent from my SM-G530T using the BariatricPal App
