Gross Question... Do I Count Them?



Recommended Posts

I am closing in on 6 weeks postop. I'm on solids. I've learned the hard way about eating too fast and not chewing well. I slimed and puked yesterday. Big time. It sucked. I don't plan on making the mistake again but I know I am a work in progress. It's hard to change a life time of bad behaviors.

Here is my question. I track on MFP. If the unfortunate experience of eating and up-chucking happens again, do I track it? All of it? Some of it? None of it?

I would track the estimated percentage that stayed down. Just guesstimate.

Depends on how soon it came up, and what came up. If it was down a while, you probably absorbed a little of it. It went down and came right back up, probably almost none. Also consider how digested it was. I never had any of that happen, but it sure sounds unpleasant!

It was awful. Not digested. chicken thigh and artichokes. Maybe down 5 minutes.

Sorry that was so miserable :( I probably wouldn't count it then. Bet you won't be eating that combo for a while!

True that!

It was my own fault. I ate too fast and didn't chew well. You can bet I was on my game this morning. I chewed my Breakfast to mush. Slowly.

I base it on how much stays down. :( has happened several times when it comes to chicken. 15 weeks out and my Jeffrey dahlmer sleeve does not like chicken.

Hahahaha

I know it's not funny but I chuckled a little. Sleeve problems that others don't understand. I haven't puked luckily so not sure but I'd say don't count it. Hope it doesn't happen again!

Ethyl was born after my surgery. She's the voice in my head that says, " You're gonna be sorry you just did that."

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
