Thank you so much for your kind words, i was hiding yesturday i was so upset about what i did and really quite ashamed, and your right its a brilliant sign id id not get the relief, i do not want to feel that way again it was so disgusting my stomach my poor tummy was just hating it it. hurt so bad and i just felt so sick!! i can tell you perhaps that experiance has healed me for good lol aha because even if i wanted to do it i cant take that feeling, thank you so much for your help . i feel bad saying this but i did not get the courage to contact my surgeon or nut or bariatric nurse i just cant bring myself to do it but i will not do it again! thank you so much

Thank you so so much! I am still shocked by my behavour, but your right, i will be more mindfull, i feel better today and tryign to be more in the moment, I am just so shocked, i was scared to come back to this post i am so glad people are being nice, i was so so embarrased, i had thought i was i supposed 'healed' from this as before id deliberatly get lots of food and then do this etc. so this thing was like ialmot wasnt even aware of what i was doing very scary! how you explained it makes so much sense!

I do not know what just happened. i have a history of Bulimia of perhaps 15 years but been 'clean' a year + It is not even on my rader , It was an issue of binging and purging I do not binge anymore. I am 6 week post sleeve done all as planned. Just now I ate some salmon , very tiny amount. But suddenly I was caught unaware by this feeling of fullness not excessively i ate 1.5 almost 2 ounces.( I have not been able to eat much the last few days due to stress so i dont know if my tummy shrunk hence this new feeling that overwhelmed me. Did I get a feeling at all? is it in my head i dont even know. But I lost my mind it seemed silently, I just went off without thinking and purged. ( i can honestly say it was an odd experiance i had not eaten much to purge compared to what i was used to the flood of food coming up and feeling that sense of relief ther was nothing to come out i was left feeling sick and confused why did i do this? i did not binge, how did this happen? Its like i didnt even realise it happening so fast. what have i done to my sleeve bringing acid up probably? please do not judge me i am so confused. My tummy hurts. I have stuck to the plan done everything right, now i have let myself down .. so what now.. I just need to talk to someone. EDIT - please dont judge me , yes my surgeon was fully aware of my history honestly this is a shock to me happening as i was in a good place had councelling etc. im worried how people will respond to this so tempted to delete before anyone sees lol

Your doing amazing ! I'm feeling a lot better now I'm on normal food . its like the world is my oyster. I don't like eating breakfast but enjoy eating other meals ! I think I'll always struggle with water. With the odd good days. I know I've not done good when I wake up feeling so blurry in my head and thirsty lol Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

In that case split your intake into 4 sections. Before breakfast have one part of your water intake. Breakfasts. Break. Second part lunch. Break third part. Dinner. Last part over the evening. I struggle with water so much and if I don't focus on it I end up hardly drinking anything! Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

This is a great detailed info thank you!! and amazing to hear you still have restriction! i am now starting normal food today and thinking how i will fit in veg with my meat lol so i was going to do some beef and then some fresh spinach with ranch see how that goes! and amazinng your hitting your protien goals!

thanks for writin what you eat this is good to see a break down. i am 5 weeks out and they are saying now i am moving to normal food i should do 3x 4 ounce meals and thats it! i feel i am already going to fail as i know il be hungry i love ranch and i will ty that with cucumber.

Well. I have been told by my nurse and nut to eat 3 times a day. not to aim for a protien goal. I am 5 weeks out, went to see surgeon, bariatric nurse,phisio and dietician. and i was told to eat 3 times a day and not to use protien shakes, and now to go onto normal food, so its hard to figure out how i can have the right amount of protein in 3 4ounce meals . and your right nothing was dense, i am moving on to normal food today i dont even know were to start!! im in the uk by the way and we are not focused on protien and low carb, its just they want me to have a balanced diet and swollow all my vits. im so confused. thanks for your help!

I do not know were to start ha. I had one+ more week of sloppy food , but my surgeon said to me today after 24 hours of clear liquids ( i have a gastroenteritis) I can move onto normal food no more sloppy food the texture was making me feel sick lol . I am just dreaming about what to start with! 5 weeks post and really happy 11kg/24lbs down( not as much as some but very happy). Only lost 3inches on my tummy , my tummy is just huge it wont budge lol Told to increase my fluids , already knew I was abit slow on that. But overall good visit! As the pains I was having i was starting to worry about my sleeve,, but it will pass! I am just dreaming about what normal food to have. I thought i would just give a brief overview of my visit as i know when i was pre op i looked on what people were doing at certain stages!

I saw m surgeon today he said they did some stiching there so when i over work myself thats why it hurts, so im happy it was nothin

Wait what? what happened that is scary can you explain what the problem was? I have this stich problem but lie under my rib my doctor ( not related to my surgery just primary care just said it was muscle problems. ?

You mentioned you ate for 45 minutes. I am told to stop after 20 minutes, so interesting how plans vary. I was not allowed eggs till 4weeks+ I loved it! They prefer people to wait till 6 weeks due to alot of people having issues with it, but they said it was fine for me to try , it was a dream. Congrats on your journey so far I had surgery 4th July, and liquids are a battle for me lol.

I am allowed 'flat soda' On my plan. But I am not intrested now ( 5 weeks out) You get full so fast, to me the discomfort would not . be worth it for me . I am not sure about the straw, some people use them some do not

If you try it and it is harsh for you its okay to step back. Mine was no eggs till week 4/5 and puree week 2+ But yes each plan is different.

I was the worst with water before, and really struggle now 5 weeks out. You will struggle at first some people as its hard to swollow to much but that improves. Crystal light, broth, teas, other ways to get liquids in should help you. I can't help with the malnutition part. But I use an app to remind me about my vitamins, and i think I will buy a one month pill case to orgonize meds or two weeks. Good luck

An old lady was sent to prison for sharing her brownies with her friends at the pensioners club lol I think its quite extreme lol. I've tried cbd oil I don't think it did much to help. Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

Thanks I'm in UK so completely illegal but I'm sure that would help a lot of people! Sent from my Swift 2 using BariatricPal mobile app

I am not allowed pork rinds till 6 weeks+ so out puree stage. When were you allowed it ?

Ahh okay haha no i dont think so, very strange situation.

Hi there, things have got worse. i am having lose green stools really bad. Nothing different than usual A big what sorry? And thanks so much for being so nice ive emailed my nurse to ask if i can come in before my nut and surgeons apointment as im alittle concerned now

No no i was not saying you did say it was complicated lol i was saying i did not find it complicated as pre op it seemed like it could easily go wrong from all the post i was seeing about 'stretched sleeves' And yes obvcourse, hopefully no one does this to end up back at square one.

Glad you have found something that worked. As you said it does depend on the situation. Excersise will not improve my disability. Sorry your sister died. I use morphine rarely for my pain and it has been very helpful for me when I need it. I have also have procedures in hospital for pain managment, i am sure most people would try many other options before resorting to opiods, and I am sure many people are in phisio and would love exercise to be the answer for their pain, I also think we all learn to deal with a certain level of pain, but if someone is unable to function or get out of bed due to their pain unfortunately being okay with it does not always help.

Follow your plan and eat what your Surgeon recommended you eat. I don't think it is that complicated, I have seen people worry they can fit more in after the healing phase,but just do not test your sleeve as I see alot of people doing. Congrats on 4 weeks. I am 5 weeks out. Keep up what you are doing

No regrets I prefer to just have my own thoughts to process, its hard when too many other opinions and concerns get mixed in.

thank you , will ask tommorow , wondered if it happened to anyone, this afternoon i ate a beef paddy and felt no pain so maybe i pulled someting?
