@@GSleeve822 - are you eating pureed?

Are you sure you are not over eating? Measure out a small amount, chew very well, wait a few minutes then eat another bite, chew well...

follow your doctors orders and contact their office to be safe - always seek professional help FIRST.

Make sure you are doing everything your medical team directed you to do and on that timeline, that could be the problem too.

Mt wife and I both got the sleeve the same day, 3/28. this week, whenever she eats she feels really sick and throws up. anyone know why or have any ideas?

Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

It could be all kinds of reasons. Perhaps she needs to eat slower, the texture of the food might be too dense or not moist/soft enough, she might be drinking too close to eating, or she could have an internal issue. I would give the doctor or nutritionist a call. If eliminating all the external factors doesn't resolve things, then it may be time for a check up to make sure nothing internal is happening.

I got sleeved on the 28th and I'm still on full/clear liquids. I tried mushy food (cottage cheese) on Saturday and was in pain and threw up as well. I will not try again until this weekend. I have been feeling better the last couple days since reversing back to Soup, broth and Protein Shakes. Maybe she should try going back to liquids and waiting a bit before trying soft food. Everyone heals differently so even if your ok with food by this time she may not be. Hope she ends up feeling better!

Like Jane, I think the most likely thing is that she is eating more than she can take. Different people have different capacity, but people commonly can only eat a few ounces of food at once in the beginning, say, half a cup - not much at all. If she eats less and eats slower, the problem may go away.

      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.

      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!!
