I had this happen on my first day moving from liquids to purees--I ate about 2/3 of a scrambled egg and it hit my stomach like a rock. I felt full for hours afterward and couldn't eat anything, and then ended up fainting in my bathroom. I nearly gave my fiance a heart attack and I got to take a fun ride in an ambulance. 😐

Me too, actually--he wasn't in the list for me to choose him so I listed Dr Curry because he was originally supposed to be my surgeon...he was great! Even texted me a few days later to see how I was doing. I cannot recommend JourneyLite highly enough. I moved to WV from Cincinnati a year ago while surgeries were on hold in Ohio, and after a thoroughly disappointing experience with trying to restart the program with a hospital in WV (St Mary's in Huntington...their dietitian made me cry!), I went back to JourneyLite and was nothing but happy with the care I received.

I hope you're doing well! I am two weeks post-op and had many of the same fears you did especially about throwing up--I actually didnt get sick for the first week and a half post-surgery and the one time I did was completely my fault (went to bed too quickly after eating). If you need to burp, for the first couple days it will feel like you're going to throw up, but once you pass the air it will subside. Take the antinausea meds you were prescribed and take it easy for a few days. You've earned your recovery time!

I had my gastric sleeve surgery on 9/16 in Cincinnati at JourneyLite...I am doing OK so far, one scare with dumping syndrome on the first day I was able to eat purees, and ended up in the ER because I fainted in the bathroom but other than that, great! I need to find something pureed that is a good source of iron--I have these intense cravings for red meat (something I shouldn't really have until December!) and I can't take vitamins other than B-12 yet
