Important question to all sleevers!



Recommended Posts

Mine was after my lapband was adjusted correctly (took 5 mths of fills) and I could eat very little. I thought Id enjoy just a little bit of whole grain pancakes at a coffee shop after church. 1 bite and I ran to the bathroom. Band didn't like pancakes. OR Pizza Crust or pineapple chunks.with my sleeve, I can eat anything. Haven't had "that moment" yet. So glad Im not throwing up most of my meals anymore

The 'panic' has happened once.. it has been the 'slimes'... Didn't quite make it to puking.

How?

Three bites of a roast chicken sandwich on a train when I was traveling for a long while from one end of a country to the other with no other food options.

One bite - fine

Second bite - yeah, okay

Third bite - ......... erm... oooh, hold on.. thats just got stuck.. oh crap, I'm going to the loo to wait for the sweats and over-salivation to cease..

A puking moment? When I had had too much drink, made a delhi ham tortilla, chowed down on it like I would have done 'pre-sleeved'. Got four bites in and went 'Oh crap'.. Ran to the toilet and it came up as it went down - not properly chewed! :blink:

I'm of the opinion that I can eat almost anything - as long as it's chewed really well.

After exploring 'chicken' in all its varieties? I'm of the opinion that it is one thing which one day can work, one day won't. As such, I eat chicken at home and choose 'safer' options elsewhere.

:D

Wedding night I got cocky with drinking. Not much of a drinker before. I was 8 months out from surgery and was out of my surgeons no alcohol window. Well my wedding night I spent most of the evening in the bathroom. Hangover was worse then I ever thought. Too much sugar wreaked havoc on my gut. Good thing my hubby is such an understanding guy. He laughs now that I spent our wedding night with the trots. Good thing it didn't kick in until after I changed.

Glad you got out of your wedding dress or it could've been like a scene out of the movie "Bridesmaids."

Ha!!! You described it so perfectly with the one bite, two bites, three.... I started this post a few days ago because I had not yet had "the moment" and surely enough, two days later... I got cocky and decided to slice a half of an avocado up into small pieces (and I had portioned out 2oz. cubes to mash)... Well, I decided to make an amazing soy sauce concoction to pour over my few bites hoping to get my "sushi fix". Then, exactly as you described... 1, 2, 3.... Up it came as fast as it went down. Needless to say, I now know the feeling to watch out for in the future!!!

Oh ya...... I'm real careful when I'm out or at work to avoid the 'aftermath' of too fast, too much, or not chewed well enough and definitely NO drinking to 'wash' it down. Love my sleeve .... As long as I follow the rules!

That about covers the rules. I would say that spiciness is sometimes a factor and I find that I can eat more in the morning.

I must say that vomiting with the sleeve is much less violent than before. My experience with the flu and from my drinking days left my abdomen sore and it dragged on too long. With the sleeve it's out and over. My sleeve, which I call "The Bouncer", gets his job done quickly.

      Four days post surgery. I am sipping as fast as I can and getting NO WHERE near the goal of 60 - 80 grams of protein or the 64 oz of liquids. I just feel FULL. I don't know if it can still be the gas build up (I would think by now that would be gone) but it is a struggle to drink. And so far I have not had the nausea or spasms and don't want to wander into that territory by pushing too hard with liquids. I about passed out today as it was my most "strenuous" day. Went from second story to basement for shower and I was sure I was going to pass out. Looking back on my last few days I have had a total of less than 1000 calories. Am I just not getting enough nourishment in me? Once again a friday where I can't get ahold of the doc until Monday rolls back around so I am hoping maybe someone here has some experience on how to keep energy going. I do have fibromyalgia too and that may be where some added fatigue comes into play. How did you all fair with the goals the week after surgery?

      2 days until I fly out to San Diego to have my Bypass Surg. in Tiajuana Mexico. Not gonna lie, the nerves are starting to surface. I don't fear the surgery itself, or the fact that I'm traveling alone, but its the aftermath that I'm stressing about the most, after this 8 week wait. I'm excited to finally be here, but I am really dreading the post surgical chapter. I know its going to be tough, real tough and I think I'm just in my head to much now that the day i here. Wish me luck, Hopefully I'm one of the lucky ones, and everything goes smoothly. Cant wait to give an exciting update,. If there is anyone else have a June bypass or even a recent one, Id love to have someone to compare war stories with. Also, anyone near San Antonio Tx? See ya soon with the future me. 💜

        I'm in Houston so kind of near you and had the sleeve in Dec. Down 61 lbs. Feeling better. Was definitely worth it. I hope the everything is going well for you. Update us when you can!

        I am back home after my bypass surgery in Tiajuana. I'm post op day 4. Everything went great! I guess I'm one of the lucky ones who have not encountered much pain at all, no nausea thus far and I'm having no problem keeping down broths and water. Thank you for your well wishes. I cant wait to keep up this journey and have a chance at better health and simply better quality of life. I know there will be bumps in the road ahead, and everything won't be peaches and cream, but at least I have a great start so far. 😍

      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!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜
