Having trouble with eating



Recommended Posts

Hello , Im new here . Been using Baritastic app for a while . I'm post op gastric sleeve ; done on 10/9/18 ; I try to eat home baked fries , or green bean and Tomato salad , triple zero yogurt , scrambled egg , chicken tenders . Not all at once , but those are some things I eat . Problem is ? They sometimes stay down ? Other times they don't . I have trouble feeling full sometimes even now . I chew 20 times , even eat with left hand to slow down my eating . How do you guys know how much you can tolerate portion size wise ? Thank You

ms.sleeve :

Thank You for that . I never thought of that eating stradegy . I will start paying attention to find " that que" that my body sends . I was taught to eat , clean my plate and hurry up . I was excited to get the sleeve ; but I didn't realize that portion size would be so difficult . Thank You for your advice and good luck in your journey dear . 😁

I measure/weigh virtually everything. If I can't, I try to eat verrryyy slowly and usually know that 4-6 bites is the limit. I've eaten too fast just once and gotten sick. A few times a tiny bit too much and it is uncomfortable. Learning curve. But yeah... I try to pre-portion everything I can... I even eat out of measuring cups half the time. lol

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
