Slurpee 7 days post opp



Recommended Posts

Hi All

I had a slurpee yesterday and haven't been feeling well since - strong pains in my stomach and dizzy each time I stand up

Should I be worried?

I done the operation 21st December

Thanks !

Probably wasn't your best idea. It won't hurt you as far as your stitches and suture line, but I'm guessing that the pure sugar hitting your system wasn't in your surgeon's plan for you.

Hope you feel better soon!

Slurpees are pure sugar, could potentially have dumping syndrome, . I would definitely call your doctor if it persists. I hope you feel better!

Probably the most important question that you might want to internally reflect on is what made you do that to yourself? If your cravings are over powering you this early out from surgery you might want to get therapy for your food/sugar addiction because this surgery is just a tool, it won't cure those long term issues for you. Eating crap is what got us into a position of needing WLS to begin with, so this is your time to create good food habits.

I am holding out hope that it could have been a "7-Eleven sugar free Slurpee". 21 calories and 0 carbs.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
