Well I have one heck of a week I am so glad it is over. Last week I was craving some watermelon. I am on the mushie stage. So I got some seedless watermelon puree it in the blender. Well it went down fine and it everything was okay. On Monday I started to get a bad stomach ache everytime I drank or ate something. Well on Tuesday it got worse, I ate Breakfast and after that it went downhill. The pain and vomiting was bad. I so afraid I might have a leak or ucler. So on Wednesday I went to emergency room and they did tests and blood work. I was concerned about a leak and the surgeon said at seven weeks the staple line is healed. So that was sigh of relief. Well what happen was something got stuck in the opening of stomach to the colon which casue some inflamation which was causing the pain and naueous. So they gave me some medicine and things are getting better. Now I can keep things down. In the process of thinking watermelon was the only I have eaten that different in my diet. So sleevers becareful of those seeds if accidently swollen them by mistake. It will be awhile for I eat watermelon again. So I am taking things very slow. I am eating about 2 oz. right now that is all my sleeve can take. I hope this issue helps someone realize how sensitive your sleeve can be. Well enough of my rambling.

Have a great weekend.

Thank you so much for taking the time to post about what happened to you! It's a good warning for everyone out there to know that even the smallest things may not be small enough and to be diligent in the chew chew chewing and of course, not to swallow foreign objects lol

All kidding aside, I'm so glad you're feeling better!

I had an egg for the first time and lost it! Back to shakes for me, maybe I need more healing time before moving on? First time I've been sick. Day 17

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
