So I had a total brain fart and curious how bad I screwed up.

I was feeding my daughter steak and she gave me the smallest bite known to man kind and I ate it not even thinking. I am only 5 days post op from the Vertical Sleeve, just making sure I am going to be okay.

Anyone else ever do this?

FYI - I feel okay, and it was seriously small. Just not sure how my digestive track will deal.

If you haven't found any discomfort then you are probably okay....many times, I'm not focused on what I'm eating and tend to take too big of a bite or not chew thoroughly before swallowing and I feel discomfort immediately.

PLease FOLLOW the DIRECTIONS you got from your DR...........OR you are set to FAIL!!!! seriously I have seen/ known several that did the surgery only to come home and start eating......... things we know we should not....... IF you do NOT follow the RULES, YOU TOO will fail...... Do NOT eat what you KNOW you are not suppose to eat...... it just is NOT WORTH IT!!!!!!!!

I think he was just asking if he'd be ok. I'm sure he got all the info from his doctor and knows what to do. It's just sometimes out of habit that we go to eat but then think OMG what did I just eat. It's not just a physical change but it's a mental process change! You'll be ok if there's no pain...just try and mentally think about everything you put in your mouth. Good luck!!!

agree with superchica...earlier today I was drinking some liquids while on the PC...I picked up the bottle and took a "swig" without even thinking consciously "sip sip sip"...I realized it almost immediately and was almost frozen with fear that I was gonna feel this huge pain...luckily, it went down fine...but like superchica said, you have to focus and always be mentally aware of what you are eating and drinking, tough as it is

If you aren't hurting, then you probably are okay. Your digestive tract didn't have the surgery. The stomach breaks down food and passes it on.

Take it easy, he only had a bite and did it impulsively. He didn't go out and have a full meal. It is easy sometimes to forget that you have had the surgery. I came in from cutting grass one day and had a huge drink of Water, totally not thinking and was hurting pretty good. It happens...

Thank you everyone. I do know what to do, just took the bite from my little girl out of habit. Just came back from a long walk and still feel good.

Just have to be even more careful!!

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!
