No ice cream?

Last night I had a cup of Snickers ice cream around 9pm. I woke up at 12am and started spitting up the most fowl tasting battery acid, I have never experienced this in my life. I was actually on the verge of calling 911 I thought my insides were going to come up. Has anyone experienced this?

Yes but not with ice cream....It is pretty horrible if you can't throw it up and it just sits there...Obviously your tummy does not like ice cream...learning as you go I see! :)

Um... Weren't you just sleeved on 10/21/13?

Did your doctor tell you it was ok to eat ice cream? If so he must be looking for future revenue by having to re sleeving his clients.

Please young man you did this to change your ways. If you want to succeed you must change!

Sorry if I sound like an mean old lady.

But I care.

Oh then that explains it...For Pete's sake...stay on the program at least until your sleeve heals..That was taking a huge chance..You don't want complications trust me!!!!!!!!!!!!!

No I just figured when the ice cream melts in your mouth it's like a liquid, but oh man was I wrong.

Ice cream is not considered a liquid in any state...It coats your stomach as it lays there....Neither is pudding or even Jello..Of course others might not agree with the Jello part but that is what my nut told me.....

lesson learned eh...good for you! :)

Protein shakes are "like" a liquid and they don't kill you. Now is the time to dig down deep and find some inner strength. You didn't have the surgery for nothing did you?

I'm guessing it was the peanut/chocolate/caramel thing! Especially the peanuts... Even though there are just a few, that must have been really rough on your sleeve!

I waited until after week 6 to venture into a little bit of ice cream. And when I say "little bit" I mean about 3-4 small spoonfuls to curb a craving. You just had surgery last week. Just because it's a liquid doesn't mean its okay to consume at such an early stage.

Lets hope that you didn't do any further internal damage.

Well this was definitely an eye opener! No more messing around...just praying I didn't do damage

you shouldn't eat nuts or seeds until at least 4 months out. This is different than a pre-op diet if you "cheat"--it can seriously cause serious and lasting medical issues. Please stick to the liquid diet your doctor or RD gave you. For the first 3 weeks all I had were clear liquids, protein shakes, hot tea, etc. It was really difficult but my stomach was healing and I knew that wasn't the time to test boundaries. No solid food for 6 weeks.

Ice cream already? Holy Moly! STAY AWAY! Im 11 weeks out and have yet to try ice cream, it is full of sugar and could make you very sick this early out. Take a moment to re group and think about why you had this surgery, you will make a bad choice here and there but learn from it, and not just becuase it makes you sick. Do you think eating ice cream will keep you thin? Will it help aid you in your weight loss? if the answer is NO...they stay away!
