Solids To Early

[salesking 21]

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!!!

salesking, I am sure you will be OK.. you just HAVE to be aware of what goes in the PIE HOLE........... From NOW ON....... because many things WILL cause you so much discomfort, it just IS NOT WORTH IT...... best of luck to you!

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!!
