I recently heard of a story where a woman who had undergone Sleeve Gastrectomy surgery had eaten a whole cheeseburger 2 weeks after her surgery and her stomach erupted and she unfortunately passed away. So this leads me to think about how many times I eat something without thinking. We all had this surgery for a reason, so why would we want to detriment ourselves like that? This was a tragic story that I heard and I wanted to share it not to scare anyone but to enforce the think before we eat for all of us even myself. I wanted to post this for all sleeved persons so that we as a community can come together and make sure that no matter how far we are into our journey that we will always think before we eat something that might not be good for our sleeves. Please if you have nothing nice to say don't say it at all. Thank you!

I want you to know that I meant absolutely no disrespect whatsoever for your post. I know that it's possible, I've just never seen an actual news report about something like that happening and I'm a skeptic by nature. Being mindful about what we eat really is ESSENTIAL to our health and well being - and I think that was the whole point you were trying to make. I'm sorry if I hurt or offended you in any way - it wasn't my intention to do so!

Found this. It's from the Daily Mail newspaper (not very reputable) but the coroners verdict was lodged in Cornwall, UK.. http://www.dailymail.co.uk/health/article-2159155/Obese-woman-suffocates-food-gastric-bypass-surgery-meant-couldn-t-fit-stomach.html

Revs, that's a pretty dodgy article. I guess the Mail is like our National Inquirer.

Oh, NMJG, it's a shocking newspaper...

All that ever appears is The Kardashians, Beiber <blesses herself after naming the one who should not be named>, Z-List celebrities, sensationalist tripe about the 'foreigners invading britain and living off benefits' and a daily dose of Princess Diana, who and without fail, makes an appearance at least 20 times a week... despite being dead since '07...

Critical analysis is not really their thang.. if you get my meaning

While I fully respect your opinion this is an actual event that occurred.

Do you have link?

Do you have link?

It was not reported in the news it was kept private and I heard from a reputal source so you don't have to believe me but it did happen okay

Whether or not it happened it's still a good message. Being a stay at home mom with 24/7 fridge access I often find myself wandering into the kitchen only because I'm bored or the kids want a snack. I'm 5 months out and still battling these issues.

Mindfulness in all things, including and maybe especially eating, is always a good idea. Thanks for the reminder!
