This is probably a little TMI but I'll just say it lol so I was feeling horrible after eating a few crackers so I made myself throw up. The only weird thing was is that I only threw up clear looking liquid.. Is this normal. Please do not judge me for making myself throw up. I sat here for almost 2 hours with no relief after walking and trying other things to make the feeling pass.

I also have done that when I've eaten something that didnt agree with me. I would rather throw it up then sit in agony for an hour. Don't feel bad it's ok:-)

I usually know within a couple bites of something if its going to settle with me. It's when I don't listen to my pouch that I get in trouble and feel that way. No judgement here just had that happen to me a couple of days ago.

I have had to do this many times actually....I ate chicken and then tried to eat it the next day as leftover and it was not settling with my pouch at all. Same thing happened with steamed brocoli one time too. It seems like my pouch does not handle anything heated up in the micowave. I think it makes it too dry. I also was bad and ate some movie theatre popcorn and had to do the same thing. No body should judge anyone on here. We are all here to help eachother out not to put someone down. The only thing I worry about with you, myself and anyone else in here...could this lead to an eating disorder where we eat what we are not supposed to and then go throw it up? I have read lots of articles where this does happen to some people. I feel like being aware of it makes it less likely for it to happen.

I understand what you are saying about the eating disorder. But personally once I have to throw something up or gag on it I feel as if I never wanna touch it again lol. But it could be an issue though if someone were to repeatedly... I never really thought of that!

I don't feel bad... you are not judged, I know in about 1 minute if something is not going down right or I have not chewed it well. When my pouch says "hey...you dummy you did not chew that well enough" I don't even have to stick my finger down my throat it just comes up with a little push/cough from me - its weired. The only advise I can give you and I am still giving my self that advise is to chew-chew-chew-chew. After I have eaten something that I did not chew well enough you would think that the food would come up but it is just tons of sylvia and lots of bubbles.. I call it the foamies !!!

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

      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.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        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.
