Anyone else try new foods and get sick and vomit afterwards. My goodness, I don't know if I ate too much or my tummy didn't agree, but I spent the last ten minutes or so with my head in the garbage can...

Yesterday I went 5 hours between Breakfast and lunch. Wasn't planned, just happened. Well, since my surgery I have not had one single incident of nausea, vomiting, slimming (need a new word), or any yucky stomach incidents. So after getting a rotisserie chicken for the family dinner, I proceeded to sit in my car and stuff, yes stuff, my face with 4 very large quick bites of chicken breast. I now know what slimming (need a new word), and vomiting after eating TOO fast means. I will not try that ever again. Period. I've learned my lesson.

I suspect it's something we all can share a story or two on, amirite?

I'm certainly no different-- from the first time I tried a scrambled egg about 2-3 weeks post-surgery, to the trial and error of trying to include new foods back into the diet, and learning your lesson on foods that are just plain a bad idea (for me that's fried foods)... I've done more than my share of the "sliming" and vomit thing.

It's part of learning what our sleeves can and can't handle, at least in my experience. I can say now that at nearly eight months out, I feel like I have a very good grasp on what I can handle, in what quantities, and more importantly, what to say "no thanks" to. Probably been a good month and a half since my last incident.

You'll get there too! It's how we learn...

Cheers,

~Pat

Ive been vomiting almost daily, sometimes multiple times per day since surg sept 1. Im surprised I haven't hit my 130lb loss in just 30 days since almost nothing stays in! The doc said I'm creating too much stomach acid and that i need to take antacid 2x per day.

Its a terrible feeling and now since my stomach is so small the time frame from realization of how I'm feeling to the actual event is also much smaller.. .......

Im hoping it will calm down...Im thinking of going back to shakes and fluids only...maybe this will reset me?

What do you think....

      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.
