OOPS! I forgot I was sleeved!



Recommended Posts

Today I went over my mom's house and she had guest. The guest had her 2year old son and he gave me a piece of candy! I forgot about my sleeve surgery mushie food diet!!! 1/2 through my Laffy Taffy yummy strawberry chew candy I felt so full and uncomfortable, then I remembered... I was not suppose to eat that. Lucky for me being 16days post op, I am now use to eating little itty bitty bites, I ate that half of the candy in about 1/2 an hr mostly by letting it disolve in my mouth. I was so worried I would get sick, 2hrs later, here I am.. fine :)

have any of you forgotten as well?

I haven't had my sleeve yet, but I have thought about this happening. I cook A LOT and I really don't notice until I pay attention how much I lick my fingers or taste of stuff. Also a lot of times when I'm not paying attention my twins will want to share their Snacks or something with me and I'll eat it without even thinking about it (which sometimes is not a good thing cause they will pick up anything and eat it). Sometimes once I realize I ate something they put in my mouth, I'll be like "okay that was food from today right?" I'm gonna have to really start paying attention after my surgery!

Isn't that the stuff that is also kinda sour too? I used to get that quite a bit when I was a kid on my way home from school. If it's the stuff I remember it had a wonderful bitter sweet intense fruity flavor. I'd probably barf with it in my mouth now but I used to love it.

Sometimes I forget too...:rolleyes: Yesterday I had chicken breast and in the end I poured a full glass of Water down. It was sooooo painful. I could not put it out no matter how much I tried... for about an hour I was in great pain and afraid I was going to pop my stomach open. :blink:

Rootman, I believe you are thinking of Now & Laters. They were really tart to me, but oh so good. Laffy Taffy is mostly just sweet.

I'm 4 days post op and I have a number of dreams were I try to eat and have forgotten that I can't right now. While awake I've had zero hunger and no interest in putting anything in my mouth.

Hi!!!

Happy same sleeve day to you! lol, I don't exercise, I plan to maybe in a week or so, just the treadmill for now. To answer your typical eating day.... sigh.. I can't eat much!! I will give you an example of what I ate today so far. I woke up and around 8am had 2 oz of double Protein shake, I was turbo full. For lunch, at 12pm I had 1/4 of a poached egg, I can't fit anything else :( around 1pm I had 6oz of Sobee 0Calorie fiji apple/pear Water thing. Right now I am mega stuffed, for dinner I will have maybe 2oz of chicken broth. When I do have pureed or mushie food, I get stuffed very easy, maybe even 2 small fork tip bites of food.

This weekend I went to my friend's birthday party, I was told to bring a dish (it was a surprise party so we all took something to make a buffet) I made a high Protein bean salad. So my hubby and I ate in the corner alone just so I won't have people asking me questions or making faces to see how little I can eat. My brother ended up joining us in the corner and he had a tostada.... well as we were eating, talking and laughing, I grabbed a piece of his tostada and ate it!!!!!! I don't know if that is why I have a deep pulsating pinch feeling since then. I hope it passes, I feel so stupid for doing that. I hope I didn't do damage. urgh! I need to not forget I was sleeved!

that reminds me, lol. This weekend at my friend's bday party, her sister is a baker in a some fancy bakery and makes the bestestestest cakes. I knew I couldn't have cake, so I licked the ribbon the cake had as a decoration, lol My daughter looked at me so shocked and said mommy you are going to get sick. I said no, sleeved people don't dump and winked.. I am bad!

I also have had a mishap and forgot I was sleeved! I think it is still because I am not thinking straight yet! I am glad I am not the only one who has done this. It made me feel so dumb! My family first made sure I was OK and then said, Wow, Mom, You are so BLONDE! It was definetly an uncomfortable time for my stomach, and the laughing didn't help! But, we all make mistakes and it is best to laugh at them and move on. That's what I did!:P

I went out to dinner and "forgot" too. I started slurping though a straw, got a huge bubble in my stomach then tried to take a nexium for the gas and threw up into my hand while running to the ladies room...LOL you live and learn....:)

oh my! glad I am not the only one then. I have a birthday party to go to this weekend. I am very close to these people and I know during dinner I will forget. I will have to have my husband or daughter nudge me or kick me under the table if they see me over eating again, lol.

I have dreams all the time about eating something I shouldnt. I had them weekly right after surgery not as often now. I had a dream recently that I took a huge gulp of soda out of a straw at a resturant and then felt very sick. I have put things in my mouth to taste it while I was cooking and spit them out as soon as I realized it. But the best was the day before surgery when you can have nothing but clear fluids, I took the Lord's Supper at church with out thinking about it and then completely freaked out that the doctor would cut open my stomach and find the tiny wafer and grape juice.

Glad I am not the only one who has these crazy thoughts.

      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. 💜

      2. Selina333

        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. 💜
