Today I was out and about and picked up Captain D's seasoned Tilapia with rice, green Beans and slaw, had it this past Sunday no problem, of course Sunday wasn't able to eat it all. Glad I was at home today because about 4 bites into it, BAM, I was stuck, oh the pain, immediately began to PB and thank God too, I was in so much pain. I don't know why I wasn't able to eat it today, maybe the rice? I'm just now introducing rice into my diet since being banded. I did get a fill last Thurs. Needless to say I'm sipping on some hot tea right now since everything came back up anyway. I was looking so forward to that baked fish! :(

Oh no that sucks...especially since that dinner sounds yummy!!

It could be the rice, it could be the veggies, or any combination of them. Being as you just got a fill on Thursday, you're probably still on an eating learning curve. I found the closer I got to the Green Zone and the tighter my band got, the more I had to re-learn how to eat after each fill.

Remember to focus on very small bites, like the size of your fingernail. Pause between bites and don't take another until the last is completely swallowed. Chew your food until it's completely mush.

Hang in there, you'll get the hang of it :)

Missy, thanks, and I think you are right, I was in a hurry, I was especially hungry at the time and shoved it in and was not mindful of what I was doing. The hot tea seemed to help. Yes I will be more careful next time and try and not let myself get so hungry.

Yes, probably the rice. I can eat some, not other. It depends which and when! But, that doesn't stop e from FISH! It is my mainstay now. I eat it most nights. Little else interests me. I have had barbque ribs from chinese, and enjoyed htat. but, I don't eat much meat some chichen. Good luk, might be the fill. karen

I tried and failed with rice a long time ago. I love Captain D's too but almost never ate there because it was so far away. Maybe 2-3 times a year. The last time the fish was a little tough and I had trouble swallowing it. I do like the fried okra though. :)

sorry Capt D's is far away from you. My fav is Red Lobster but I've heard them, Olive Garden and Lonhorn are all going bankrupt and will no longer be and I hate that. I do not do Olive Garden anymore but love the other two very much. LIke I said Red Lobster is my fav unless I'm on the Gulf Coast and can get fresh seafood then I'm in Heaven! MMMM, I sure could eat me some fresh grilled Grouper right about now! I know why in world did I have to go there, right?

Lol random addition to the thread but they are actually just now building a Longhorn Steakhouse by my house so hopefully the bankrupt thing is wrong. Olive Garden and Red Lobster are too yummy. :)

You know I haven't seen that come thru on any news but my brother and his wife live in Nashville and hear all sorts of stuff and told me and my mom since she and I eat at those 2 places frequently, well, Red Lobster at least twice a month. I eat the salmon at Longhorn, love it, I usually split it with my mom. Haven't been brave enough to try steak yet since being banded but am craving a filet, that might be my next venture. yikes...lol Glad to know that you are getting a Longhorn and a new one so maybe the rumor is false and they are all three owned by the same parent company. I don't have them where I live here in Western Kentucky I have to travel over the border into TN about 30 mins to eat there. Going back to the filet, sheesh, I'm hungry now, I think I may go to the grocery tomorrow and buy a couple, I like to bake them in the oven seasoned with garlic salt and pepper and it tastes like a tender roast and one would be enough for myself and my mom to share since I live with her. Yep, sounds like a plan. Ha!

concerning the restaurants closing, I live in Lakeland, Fl. That is where Darden rest started. I, also, have not heard about a closing of the restautants. Maybe some of the local places, but not the chains. I did hear that they had a loss last quarter!

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!
