Oh tightness a bit in my chest and in my back 😩

I did the same thing the other morning I had a boiled egg and all of sudden I started sweating and a lot of saliva in my mouth. I started gagging over and over again nothing really came up but I felt so bad for most of the day. I had to take a pill for nausea. I said that I am so done with eggs I have tried scrabbled and boiled.

I was going to try eggs tomorrow. Now I am scared. 😐

I have been lucky so far that things are going so well I don’t want to throw up!

Omg I just threw up my first time I only had mashed up tuna and mashed up boiled egg like 3oz and threw it all up. My first sensation was uncomfortableness, excessive salvia and the overwhelming need to throw up. Sorry tmi I just never experienced it until now yuck 🤢

Oh my, I hope you feel better. I am 15 days post op- RNY. I get the the tightness in my chest and back too. I found if I take even smaller portions of and already small portion it helps with preventing this. Almost half of a bite. I know it sounds crazy but it works very very very tiny bites. Hope this helps you!

Tell me about it, I don’t think I wanna try eggs again for awhile. Maybe an isolated event but yuck 🤢

When I try eggs I mush them and make sure to not scramble to hard. Small small pieces, if not i feel pain but have never had the throwing up experience or nausea.

I'm 17 days post-op and I just recently tried fish. I'm thinking everything okay but I felt a little sick ten minutes later. I'm really not sure what fullness feels like now??

I’m 16 days post op. I had fish today for lunch and threw up afterwards for the first time since the day of surgery. I dunno if the fish didn’t set well on my tummy or if I had one bite too many... but I think I’m gonna avoid fish for a while. Had chicken Soup for dinner and did fine. I also am kind of struggling to determine my new “full feeling.” My tummy still generally feels uncomfortable most of the time, so it’s difficult for me to distinguish a difference at this point.

Do you measure or weigh your food?

I can tell if I am getting full ... I sort of feel a tightness or just the need to take a deep breath. Then I know I need to stop. I’m only 11 days post op now so who knows if it will change

Fullness feels the same to me as it did before surgery, it just happens a lot faster. If I eat too fast and am getting full I burp a lot.

I feel uncomfortable and like I can’t breathe tightness. Idk if the egg didn’t sit well or I ate a bit to many. But I eat out of a 3oz container and still leave food. That day I wanted to finish so it could of been either one or both. I’ll stay away from egg for a while and then re try.

Please do let me know when you figure it out.

eggs sit like a ton of bricks on my stomach. It hurts even to swallow one or two bites. I tried mixing them with cottage cheese which makes them softer but that didn't help. I have decided to give them up for now.

      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!!
