The surgery will work for u just fine as long as u think positive, stick to ur goals and don’t over eat. The sleeve isn’t so that certain foods will make u sick so u don’t eat them. That’s more like gastric bypass where u have no stomach acids to break down food that travel straight to ur intestines. The sleeve is a restrictive surgery meaning restriction from the amount of food u can consume in one sitting. I’m 10 days out and I haven’t had one food make me sick and I can gulp water too. But I can feel when I’m full or getting there and I’m not hungry between meals like I used to be. U have to look at it in a positive light. The goal is not to be sick from eating certain kinds of food. It’s to eat what U like just in strict moderation. Granted u may not be able to tolerate certain foods as u used to. For instance beef, it takes a long time to digest period so it could make u feel very heavy, bloated & fuller quicker verses eating ground turkey. It’s softer and lighter and more easily digestible so u may be able to eat a little more turkey than u would beef, if that makes sense. Doesn’t necessarily mean ur gonna go throw it up or experience dumping.
I’ve had anxiety and depression in the past but have been clear for about two years and I am worried about such a biological change triggering that to come back. Anyway, I know what anxiety feels like so I can understand how you feel. Relax. This seems like a great move and safe operation with a couple months of discomfort for a lifetime of skinny living. I’m excited. Are you too?
