Things Tummy Doesn't Like



Recommended Posts

I swallowed my Gummy Vitamin whole this afternoon. By mistake. I forgot it was a chew and took it like a pill. My tummy is NOT happy. Having some warm hot choc to hopefully help melt it.

Lettuce, raw veggies and Water are still upsetting my tummy. Will I ever be able to drink Water again?

Thanks,

Judy

I think mine is sweet peas and Gatorade. With the sweet peas' date=' the sick feeling was instantaneous, but the Gatorade was weird. I drank an orange one yesterday and I had no issues. Today was a different story, after half a bottle I started to feel nauseous and proceeded to dry heave. I blamed my husband for the sardine cans in the garbage, but then I tried a blue Gatorade and got nauseous again, so no more Gatorade for me, back to Water. <img src='http://www.bariatricpal.com/public/style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.png' class='bbc_emoticon' alt=':)' />[/quote']

Hey I haven't seen much mention of Vitamin Water on the posts here. They are very good, and even have electrolytes.

For those who have had problems digesting certain foods, were you forewarned by your surgeon or Nutritionist to stay away from certain foods like nuts, corn, rice, etc.?

Yes I have tried vitamin water, that was one of the first liquids I had in the hospital, other than crystal light. I will have to get more of those , they are really good too.

I can add nuts, etc as I feel that I'm comfortable with them. Corn is no problem and I'm thinking of ordering a rice dish I love to give it a try but I do hear rice is hard for many. I guess I'll see. I did have to avoid them for the first several weeks (3 months on nuts).

All milk is a no-no for my sleeve...I've tried fat free, almond milk, rice, etc.

As far as Crystal light substitutes my nutritionist recommended Fuze Slenderize (not the energy flavors) Sobe Life Water (ditto on the energy flavors), sugar-free Kool-Aid packets added to bottle water and sugar-free popsicles for hydration. Hope these suggestions help you all too.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
