Sleeved 10/17/13

I've had to "spit up" 2-3 times from eating too fast.

I don't get the "heave" feeling like when you vomit. It was more like a "chunky burp".

Still, I didn't like it.

I can eat pretty much anything. I just have to goooooo sllloooow, and that's not always easy.

I get that feeling a lot because I have trouble eating slow. So far I've managed to keep the food down and not spit up but I fear that it may happen. Its frustrating when your eating something hot and you have to eat slow. By the time I'm ready for the next bite, the food has gone cold.

I am 2 months out and I have been so careful to not experience that but the other day I had a Protein shake and had really mixed it well so it was frothy. I drank it and then the froth started creeping up my throat...weirdest experience ever!!!

I tried that Olive Garden Salmon could only eat 1/3 of it and next day gave the rest to my honey. I just did not like the taste. Maybe it was not the amount but the bad tasting, salty, salmon they served.

I find that there are some food that are good at the first time, but get too dry or something when reheated. I take a bite or two of it reheated and I can tell it's going to cause problems. That's happened to me several times and I ended up giving the rest of my leftovers to my boyfriend.

This is my first week on full solids and it has been a major challenge to eat dime sized bites slowly. I'm so used to eating quickly so that I can get back to work or so that others won't see me eating and judge me. I had to force the 2 to 3 ounces to come up about 7x's since last Friday. Ugh not fun at all. Steamed Salmon seems to be the worst of all the food that I can't keep down.

This is probably what I'm most nervous about going back to work! I have a 30 min lunch break and 3-15 min breaks for my 12 hour shift. If I end up sick at work I will automatically get sent home because I work in the food industry.

You know that feeling you get if you swallow something that goes down wrong??? That kind of hurt!!!!!

everybody does this... once... but do learn from this. Let's help the sleeve, y'all!!! Or " if at first you don't succeed, try, try again... then quit. No use to be a damn fool."

This thread makes me nervous my sleeve is defective.. I'm 13 days post op, and have started eating soft food to slowly transition because next week I'm allowed to have chicken (chewed a million times). So I decided to try a scrambled egg, nothing added and i eat it with chopsticks to make sure i only take small bites, to get my sleeve use to something a little fuller. I have also tried watermelon (again, chewed to mush) and so far... I have yet to feel that full feeling! I stop myself before I get there cause I feel like too much is going in and I don't want to hurt myself or stretch my sleeve but I know I'm able to eat more than most the people here who can only eat a few bites at a time!!

Mouse, I have the same experience, especially with scrambled eggs. I don't know why. Keep it to one or two eggs and just stop. You might feel full eventually. (I'm four weeks out.)

Also, your nerve endings are probably still healing so you may not have that full feeling yet.

      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!!
