Food paranoia- tomato seeds are out to get me!



Recommended Posts

Hi everyone,

I had my sleeve surgery on August 30, 2016 and I have lost a bunch of weight but I get really worried that I haven't strained my Soups enough. I found Tomato seeds in my Soup and I'm now beating myself up about eating it. Does anyone else do this? It's 16 days post-op and I'm trying to behave but I'm worried about seeds and sutures. I feel like a crazy woman!

Actually it's great to read about someone who takes their post op eating plan serious and understands how important it is to follow it!!!.............But try to relax and don't worry so much......I have no doubt that you're doing great! Just keep doing what you're doing and stick to your plan. You're not crazy! Keep up the good work!

I'm 11 days post op and I'm doing really well but worrying about everything. Is my pureed pureed enough? Did I eat too fast? Did I drink too much liquid at once (I can down almost a cup with no issues)? Have I stretched my sleeve or damaged my sutures...Yes I relate! I like to think I'm just being a worrywart and that everything is fine :wacko:

Thanks everyone. I'm stressed about it. 10 days post-op, my assistant (who is absolutely wonderful) accidentally booked me for a lunch meeting with a client and I didn't want to be rude so I had a few tiny bites of ground beef and chewed and gnawed forever until it was liquid. I told my doctor and he was supportive but stern and said I've gone through too much not to make this work. He is a great doctor but I really beat myself up over it. I don't want to mess this up. :(

I am 6wks out...I should wait till next Tues for raw veggies...but I had them tonight...I cut a 1/2 baby cucumber into tiny pieces, cut up cherry tomatoes and added a little vinegar...I was in heaven! Ate very slow, went down fine. I take my diet very seriously. But this was a spirit booster...hey it's not a McDonald's burger!!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
