Please advised: I'll be 10 weeks on Tuesday. On Wed of last week I ate some chips and threw them up. I know...I shouldn't have allowed my stress levels get to me that way and I feel terribly guilty. It was out of habit and just felt so natural that i wasn't really aware of what i was doing until my stomach started to rebel. My issue though is that I have not been able to eat without some pain or awkward sensations. I feel swollen, like I'm really restricted. Swelling is one thing and I know it'll take some time for it to go away but should I be worried? I mean, if I tore something or had an abscess or stricture I would have offer symptoms...right?

You may want to talk to your doctor, but my stomach became inflamed again about 3 weeks out and - dont become too concerned - it took me weeks longer to change to solids and I had begun some very modest solids and had to regress.

Get back to very basics.

Now, may I ask why you even have those types of foods in your home anymore?

Good luck sweetie.

Thanks for responding. I may just call the doc on Tuesday. I was hoping it was just swelling. I don't buy stuff like that any more. My mother was visiting and had went to subway and got a sandwich and chips. I had a terrible day at work and was reliving me day as I was explaining it to her. I was so mad that I was eating and fussing all at the same time. It felt so natural b/c I've been so accustomed to eating to deal with stress in my past. I definitely learned my lesson. Just hope it didnt damage my sleeve.

Maybe you just ate too fast. I am not sleeved yet but I thought we had to eat all of our food really slow. Maybe you were chatting and eating so you were going to fast. I don't think one episode would damage your sleeve. I have heard tons of stories about people getting sick post sleeve from eating too fast or to much. I hope all is ok. I am not sure what I am going to do about stress eating. I find myself reaching for food at work and home when stressed. I am going to have to watch that as well.
