WOW Hello Restriction Pain



Recommended Posts

I'm 15 days post op.....liquids and watered down oatmeal and Cream of Wheat have have been so easy for me. I was worried that it would be this easy when I started on more solid food. It's been so easy that it almost feels like I did not have anything done...

So today I thought I'd try a very very soft boiled egg....I left it in too long -- it came out like a soft hard boiled egg... I think no big deal.... I take 2 or 3 small quick bites off a demitasse spoon (forgetting to go slow) and WOW... almost immediately I felt like I was having a heart attack. And I'm not exaggerating. It was painful and very scary. I just kept walking around not knowing what to do and trying to control my semi-panic feeling. Finally I heaved it up and felt relief immediately.

I am no longer worried that my restriction won't be enough.....yikes.......

I know that feeling, I'm 2mths out and every time I eat meat I can really feel the restriction. Sometimes I want to avoid meat, but I know I need to Proteins. Ive found that if I walk around between bite or eat standing up its better.

Ugh sliming is worse! Glad you realized your restriction is good, sorry you found out the way you did. That pain is awful. The first time I felt it I thought I was dying!

Sliming is throwing up clear mucus, I get it almost everytime I eat just a little to much or something that doesn't agree with steve(the name of my sleeve)(yes I named it).I can really clear a restaurant when it happens :unsure:

Your body will produce excessive mucous to try to get stuck food down. But all it does is increase the pressure and you vomit slime. Alot of it. Everytime it's happened to me I've ended up with Dumping like symptoms 30 mins later.

      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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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!
