Okay guys don't be mad at me. I'm at the 12-month mark of my surgery okay maybe just reaching 11. So far it's been great super smooth sailing, lost 105 lbs feeling great and working out. Does anyone ever get super massive stomach cramps? I don't get dizzy or throw up just really intense stomach cramps. I thought it might have been because I ate half a flour tortilla the other day that's when they started. However when I woke up this morning I was fine I was able to eat regularly again with no pain... that was until tonight I had a poke Bowl no rice Just Fish,avocado, edamame, seaweed salad and regular salad greens under that. So why do I feel like I'm dying again the tortilla passed through fine though it was a close call that taught me a lesson. But I've had sashimi since the surgery and been fine and again I didn't have ANY RICE or other pasta/bread bits? Was my sleeve just sensitive after the first bit? I guess it's liquid diet for the next few days but has anyone had this problem or problem specifically with poke? Im just wondering what gives since this seemed fine to eat before.

Edit: Also I have no Idea why this triple posted Im trying to delete the other two but it isn't letting me x.x;

Why would anyone be mad at you ? And hmm I'm not sure what could cause it but keep an eye on it and perhaps get it checked if it continues.

haha some might frown upon the eating of half a flour tortilla since breads rice and stuff (unless multigrain or wheat bread) is a no-no. Which is why the cramps today are such a surprise I didn't have any breads or rice. Just meat and veggies which is usually ok for me. I'm wondering if perhaps my stomach is just still sensitive from the previous mishap. Im keeping an eye on it and sticking to strictly liquids for the next few days. I might send an Email to my surgeon as well.

No idea what a poke bowl is, but was there dairy in either/both dishes?

My first guess would usually be lactose intolerance (which is super common post op bariatric surgery) or IBS (which is also super common in overweight individuals).

Though since your incidents were within 24 hours of each other its possible this was something acute instead (unless this isn't the first time you've had this issue)

Poke is like sashimi which is usually sushi grade raw fish. No dairy to speak of though my stomach has not had a problem with dairy thus far. However I'm thinking the problem today was spicy tuna and it still being flared up from the day before.

      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.

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.

      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!!
