Last 3 days:

Saturday: 1 bite of a hotdog (no bun) just mustard

10oz Water

1/2 Danon light and fit yogurt

Sunday: 1/3 Protein drink

1/2 Danon light and fit yogurt

1/2 cup chicken noodle Soup

20 oz water

Monday: 2 small slices of deli ham w/slice cheese

1 small lime Jello

20 oz tea (Lipton non-caffeine/diet)

2 small slices of deli ham

Tuesday: hard boiled egg (1/2)

Threw up after hot dog on Saturday, Sunday okay, Monday threw up after dinner of 2 slices ham. Today, queezy after egg, but keeping down

Are you chewing really well?

I had my sleeve on June 11th. Are you taking 1/2 hour to eat your meals? I haven't had any issues at all with food. I was warned to eat very slow.

I'm eating slow, but maybe not slow enough, thanks for the suggestion, I'll definitely start being more aware and eat slower. Love your bars that show weight loss! How do you do that???

Remember, no liquids 30 min before, 30 min during and 30 min after a meal. Also remember to stop eating after 10 min, take a 10 min break and then resume eating during your 30 min meal time. Chew till everything liquifies in your mouth.

Maybe the food is too salt? Or processed. Your body is healing and incredibly sensitive. It could be sensitive to the hormones and preservatives in those foods. Could you try less processed foods? Or maybe go back on a modified puréed and solid food diet. At least with the puréed you get something in ya! Just my thoughts.

You have 10-20 oz of liquid listed each day? Please tell me you are getting more than that in a day :)

I am 7 weeks out. My suggestion is to go back to soft foods or just a protein shake diet for a bit. No hotdogs or ham. Try eggs, fish, refried beans -- high protein but soft.
