jesus lord mary and joseph!!! now what? am i gonna die? what if i did damage? how would i even know?????

Sorry ... i didnt mean to "scare u to death" and im sorry u werent informed of the seriousness of staying on plan before surgery... but im a "keep it real" person... n yes as the others mentioned uve said small amts & only a few times & with no leak symptoms, id venture to say ur probably fine, but i just wanted to stress that it is a serious issue because... IT IS! U asked, i gave my honest opinion based on my knowledge... they told us a story in my preop class about a man who ate a whole can of corn 1 wk out of surgery... got a leak n almost died... had to have multiple surgeries to remove corn kernels from all over his abdomen... anytime i thought of straying early on, that story came to mind... yes, chances r, u'll b fine, but even sum ppl that stay on plan get leaks... so y risk extra stress on ir new tummy!? R those few chips worth ur life? If my comments scared u back onto plan then it served it's purpose well... dont stress just get back on track n follow ur plan @least until ur healed :-)

Gawd, here we go again. The sky is falling the sky is falling the sky is falling. Scaring someone to death with absolute abandon.

Please remember, many docs allow their patients to start on regular food not long after surgery --- those docs must be wanton heretics....

Please stop with the over the top scare tactics...

thanks guys i appreciate it but now i am ruined mentally. i can't stop thinking about this. what if i ruined my new sleeve and caused a staple line leak ???

i searched symptoms. luckily i dont have any pains or cramps or fevers. i learned my lesson i just hope im ok and didnt cause any damage

I'm not sure you're fine but I'm glad you are on the straight and narrow now. When you have a leak you don't get instant symptoms. That only happens as organs start to shut down or begin getting damaged. It does not matter if you ate a lot or a little, one bite can do it. So now you just have to closely listen to your body. If you develop a low grade (or higher) fever, left shoulder pain, nausea, weakness, heart racing, shortness of breath, any one of these symptoms, you need to get tested right away. Do not delay, don't come here for medical advice, and call your surgeon asap.

You might consider meeting with your nut as soon as the snow clears because it sounds like you went into this and left surgery woefully uninformed. I don't want to see that you've wasted your money and risked your life only to come out of surgery chowing on carbs and inappropriate foods.

Hopefully all is well, but listen to your body. You might be fine, you might not. What's done is done. Don't do it again :)

I just shared these responses with my surgeon who called for follow up today. I am four days out of surgery. I wanted to know if he was using "scare" tactics as you claim. I disagree with these responses. This is very dangerous and could lead to tears and leakage within the first three weeks. in addition you are only setting yourself up for failure with vsg if your wondering how quickly or what you can put in your mouth other than what is on protocol. Vsg is a tool not just a quick fix . It is as mental as it is physical. All of this was taught to me with the vigorous protocol I was put through prior to surgery.... Just sayin... Go ahead and eat what you wish ...I'm following protocol from the # 1 US sugeon in VSG. You are NOT doctors and are only fooling yourself if you think this ok. Love me or hate me.. Just callin it like I hear it!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
