Help and support needed!
jstachic replied to Jessica _ Stephens's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I remember my first cream Soup was split pea,I was so scared to eat it but that was long ago, stay with yogurts, lot of sugar free Jello,farina cream of wheat,cottage cheese scrambled eggs.this is what is getting me back on track and I am 3 weeks from starting over and have stalled, and gained a pound but i was in the hospital for a few hours with a big bag a saline 1000ML and now on lots of bad medications for a sleever, try to put your self on a eating schedule , hope this helped a bit -
I know what you are going through, and don't trust your self when you say its just this one time,It can become a habit in Jst one day, and take 3 weeks to break it.grab an old picture of yourself put it in the kitchen.

3 years out still can not drink orange juice or tomato soup

Sound like it could also be a vasovagal response, something stressing you, even passing gas can cause it, I would keep a written log of everything you were doing right before it happens, keep a watch on try to keep track of time make sure your not passing out and haven't noticed, get a blood test
-
this has also happen to me I have a very normal B/P 110/70 but if I do not get in enough Fluid It drops I have gone as low as 60/40, causing the symptoms. not fun,what the Dr had mentioned is orthostatic hypotension,
-
I would be more worried if you weren't scared, Just take deep breaths and remember you just have to lay there, Dr,s and nurses do all the work,what is your biggest fear? I have had a few surgeries in my life and can walk you through. even the bad stuff that has happen to me, and I m still here .
