Hi everyone!

So I had something happen tonight im not sure I understand ..I had about half an ounce or 9 spoon fulls or so of yogurt. figured out the sugar hit like a ton of bricks..ive come to believe I have sort of dumping.or sensitivity to sugar now. So to help things out..I was going to.eat some protien. So I had half a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. That didnt help much. So then I had about 5..6 spoonfuls of the ricotta cheese recipe on here. About 2 mintues later I felt some pain in my stomache. Im guessing this is an overeating feeling or was it the order I ate the food in? When you have ever over ate something..does your stomache hurt? I know these questions may sound silly to.some folks...but I haven't been on this journey long,. Thanks

I'll tell you what you did wrong. You should eat yogurt that is sugar free first off.

Second if you ate something that disagreed with you, the last thing you should do is eat MORE food to chase it with, and Peanut Butter? Fat (and sugar) would just make dumping worse.

Ditto with the cheese.< /p>

I would tend to agree with laura-ven as far as the food choices...as for the stomach pain, I do get a weird pain in my stomach when I overeat my sleeve...it tends to come on quickly so you have to be mindful...one bite and I'm fine...then with the next bite it seems like I cross the line to overeating...good luck on your journey (of learning)

Gina when was you surgery date?....that's relevant here. Are you on soft foods?

If you are dumping, the Peanut Butter is full of sugar. Instead try some PB2. It's got all the Protein, alot less sugar. And as Laura said, if you don't feel right, stop eating. I understand why you tried to "help things out"....makes perfect sense. But if you were dumping...or perhaps reaching your sleeve limit, more food to process is just going to make it harder on your new sleeve.

Next time try some cottage cheese instead, if you like that. But go easy....some people have a similar sensitivity to dairy after being sleeved.

This is a slight aside but perhaps relevant... Are you sure you are measuring correctly? Your amounts sound a lot to me for someone new to the sleeve, as I totted up around 16 teaspoons eaten fairly quickly. In the early weeks you would expect to take 20 mins to half an hour to eat that much.

I live in a metric world so am not the most familiar with ounces, but I thought 1 Oz = a bit less than 30g. This would make your half ounce yoghurt a 3 modest (flat) teaspoons, not 9.

Hopefully my maths is not wrong here, but my point is that speed matters.

Okay so I know you probably dont dump from sugar and you would have waited it out right? Thanks hun

PB2 is a Peanut Butter substitute. It's basically dehydrated peanuts. It's a powder, you mix it with Water and it makes peanut butter...but much healthier than the regular stuff.

Do you have an approved foods lists for soft foods? There's alot of info floating around here...but off the top of my head I ate alot of cottage cheese, oatmeal, chili with the meat finely ground, scrambled eggs....when do you go on solid foods?

If you don't have a list or a nutritionist and you're not sure what to eat, here's some general guidelines you could consider...although I think the timetable on this link is a little conservative. But better safe than sorry.

      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.
