I need help, so this happened to me just now

So I took a teaspoon of Jello (dulece de leche) and just licked the spoon... few mintues later I was in pain so much I cried and then I felt like throwing up, when I finally did it was like a foamy/ slimy substance .. WHAT IS THIS?? Is it normal??

My dr did tell me that if I ate too fast, I would throw up and described it as foam. Since then, I have thrown up a few times and it was foamy and lots of mucus. 🤢

Hey - question for all of you that in your post-op phase. One of the items I can have in Weeks 1 & 2 are "Strained Low Fat Cream Soup". What type of Soup would that be exactly? I'm assuming Cream of chicken would be ok. No way I'm eating Cream of Mushroom by itself. What else is there? Is there a Cream of Potato?? What about a bisque like Tomato Bisque?

Hey YLime, the physicians assistant in my surgeon’s office (who was sleeved a few years ago) recommended Soups by Imagine Foods. I found them at Whole Foods, but I imagine they’re available many places.
She particularly loved the potato leek (pictured below) which I found to be pretty tasty! There are lots of flavors though! Hope this suggestion helps a bit 🙃

Just started my 2nd week post op! July 23rd.

Sleeve scheduled for 8-22. Still seems far off. Sure have been enjoying all your posts! Thank you all👍.

Is Cream of Tomato Soup ok post op?

Most surgeons regard Tomato as too acidic. Probably strained cream of chicken , mushroom, celery and maybe broccoli, although the last produces gas in some people. as does cream of asparagus. Good luck, my RnY scheduled September 5th so getting ready to start my own pre-diet. Good luck to YOU, Good luck to ME!😛👣😛

Usually tomatoes Soup is too acidic and it's high in sugar.. at least the one from panera is 🙄

[Frustr8 7,886]

Try Campbell's Healthy Choice commercially, otherwise my other advice? Check out,the ones from Bariatric Pal Store or maybe Injury, they are crafted with Bariatric patients in mind. I keep putting off buying my Box of Month for Bariatric Pal and the only,one,being punished is ME! When you add up all the varieties of items you receive it IT IS,A GOOD VALUE!

Ohhh☹️Ok. So glad you told me. I really like Tomato Soup and would have made a BIG mistake by eating it. Thank you very much for setting me straight 👍

Hey had my 2 week post op appt today and my Dr.. told me to hold of on broccoli and gas producing vegetables since it can stretch sleeve or pouch... I’m like wow I love broccoli 🥦 I thought it was good information to share!!!

I had progression creamy Tomato and I added about 1 tablespoon of low fat ricotta cheese to it. Cut the acidity and added a little more protien and substance to it. My surgeon had no problem with Tomato Soup. 😊
