Had my first Major stuck today, was not fun. First time I have had to throw up. I was busy with my three grandchildren was getting there Breakfast (they sleep late on the weekend) and cleaning up so that we could go to the movie (Batman)

I do not have them too often so I was eating a piece of bacon (bad girl) on the run, oh my gosh it was not pretty. I just want to warn everyone that has not had an episode to not eat on the run, and to leave bacon alone. We had to leave late for the movie; I am now thinking about dinner and am afraid to eat.

I am going on vacation next Friday and was going to have another fill on Monday I called the office and left a message to cancel it, hope that was a wise decision and I will not gain weight when I am gone.

God Bless

Lassie... thats rough you had a stuck episode. My advice is not to eat any meat while on the run... i know that i have to concentrate while chewing meat as its so fibrous. i dont have any issues with bacon at all.. in fact im having it every morning with an egg and thoroughly enjoy it. I wouldnt assume that bacon is off your list...if you eat it while concentrating im sure it will be o.k. In fact, i hope it will be o.k.. i love bacon and enjoy my breakfasts more than most meals these days. Ive had a few episodes of being stuck in three months and its wise to go onto some liquids for about 24 hours afterwoods. Last saturday i had the worst experience... i was out at a function helping in the kitchen, we were very busy and i was distracted. i ate a small savoury , didnt chew it properly and was ill for six hours afterwoods... the worst Ive ever been. Its my fault. Im not saying that i cant eat those savories every again but Ive learned now that very small bites, lots of chewing is in order for just everything. When im distracted i cant seem to remember that. How did you get on? did the children like the movie?

i hear you about the amount of fill and going on vacation. Im going on a cruise with my grand daughter in nov... and ive been thinking of the same issues already, whether to lighten the fill or not. judy

Hi Judy

kids loved the movie and i feel so much better. It only lasted about an hour, after I threw up it went away. Cannot even wrap my brain around it lasting 6 hours I hope that never happens.

hope you have a great trip

hi Lassie...i agree... its hard to get your head around a stuck incident lasting that long. Actually, when i came to have some Soup for tea that night.... about 8 hours later, i was still so sore i couldnt have tea. about ten pm i had a glass of white wine with icecubes in it... it went down well and did help to relax things a bit. i expected to be bad all night but i slept well.. was o.k. the next morning and had some soup.

Can you imagine? here i am helping out in the kitchen of a christian day of praise and teaching... and here i am running to the loo every five minutes to try and vomit?? rofl. i know it didnt look good. lol. i had to try and explain that i had tummy problems. lol.

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
