vsg Frustrated

[Synergy 4]

So, its been 16 days post op my NUT told me I was cleared for pureed foods at 12 days, I tried a VSG-friendly shepherds pie it went down ok I was sooo happy and proud I got full after like 2 bites. Yay, confirmation my sleeve is working!

BUT THEN! I took a bit of low fat vanilla Greek yogurt, ONE BITE, My mother had to call 911 I was in so much pain I was on the toilet, pooping like crazy and gaging as if I had to throw up yet nothing came out, then I had a large amount of pressure all the way across my back between my shoulder blades. I was sweating and crying and so confused! There was at least a 2hour difference between the bite of yogurt and my dinner. Has anyone else ever experienced this?

Also, any ideas for pureed foods would help! Thanks

That's sounds really awful. Hopefully someone will chime in soon with some ideas for you.

I’m sorry that happened, I hope you’re feeling better soon.

I know sleeved folks don't typically get dumping syndrome, but they can. There are 2 types of dumping, one that can occur within 30 mins, and the other that can take upwards of 3 hours. Curious if you were dumping from the first meal, or from the yogurt.

Agree w Matt - I’d blame the shepherd pie not the yogurt. Just back off, slow down, hydrate.
