Never Ever Again



Recommended Posts

So I know I was told no Pasta. But I read some people can handle it and I tried about 1/2 cup the other night and I was sick for 2 hours. It was worst then giving birth. It was s small portion of the chinese noodle packages from costco. I felt like I needed to have my stomach pumped. I can handle potstickers. I thought I would share the warning.

3 months. I was so tired that evening and hadn't planned anything. So I made this for my family and had a small portion. I know now I should have more leftovers prepared or made an egg.

I wasn't placed on any restrictions once through the stages however was advised to always follow Protein first rule. I am nearly 6 months out and I can tolerate a little bit of Pasta like an ounce or so but rice is the hard thing for me I will have a "taste" bite but have to quit after that or I will be sick I generally try to avoid both of these things though:)

I must have a sleeve of steel too. Pasta doesn't bother me at all. The only things that have caused trouble are very rich sweets or restaurant food that seems to be infused with lard or some other offending ingredient. Its always amazing to me how different everyone's experiences are with the sleeve.

Rice is my nemesis. Went to a Japanese steak house with friends a couple of weeks ago. Fell into bad habits of mindlessly eating while talking and ate more rice than I would have if I was paying attention like I should have been. OMG...I was SO SICK! :wacko: I didn't puke, but boy, just the right bump in the road on the way home and it would have been all over. Rice is the only food I have reacted this way to, so...I guess it's no more rice for me. No big deal though...I can still eat the meat and veggies, so I can still get an Asian fix if I want one. :)

Rice and Pasta are still no no's for me at 20 months out. Every time I try to eat either one, my tummy rebels and hurts for hours. If I try to drink Water anytime soon (within 2 hours), then they swell up in the tummy and hurt more. I'll pass on both. :)

Wow that is strange how different we all are. I don't have any problems other than sugar free pudding. Runs right thru me in minutes.

Hm. I had spaghetti made w whole wheat Pasta a few days ago and did fine. I'm 7 weeks.

I just chewed really really well.

Now dehydrated unsweetened banana chips. Forget about it. Puked for an hour. No joke.

It was probably my fault actually. I ate them really fast and I think it was too much for Sleevie. Also, since I ate fast I didn't chew well. . (And now I'll hide behind my computer because I'm embarrassed lol ) I bet it wasn't the food itself. I should have phrased my post differently. But I *am* scared to try them again just yet.

Sooo good tho.

I forgot to add bread to my "can't do" list

I occasionally do 1/2 of an Alternative English Muffin with little to no discomfort but straight up bread or Buns even 1/2 make me very uncomfortable.

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      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.
