I'm pretty sure it was the little piece that went down & did that. Hopefully your sleeve doesn't have dumping from a bit of juice. I take those warnings as a little slap on the hand and thank God for them...or I might have jumped on that Little Ceasers Hot n Ready Bacon Crust pizza they played OVER & OVER during my extended recovery! like others said just take it slow. Lord knows I've licked more things in the last 2 months than I've ever licked in my whole life. (Dill pickle chips are my licking weakness) just take that pain as a Learning experience as it sounds like you have. You'll do great! Chin up

Today I weighed myself and for the first time since surgery, my breath was taken away from what I saw on that scale. Less than 2 months ago (March 3rd) I weighed 270 pounds. Today, I weighed 220 pounds. Im almost to the weight that I weighed the day I married my husband. That's 50 pounds gone forever! I am so grateful for this journey no matter what I had to go through! I don't do pics...but here is my before and after face shots.

If you already have the GERD I would strongly suggest going with the Bypass. There is a chance after the hernia is fixed that it would resolve itself...and I took that chance. While other's experiences might be better than mine, and a lot of peoples GERD does resolve 5-6+ months post-op, those first couple of months are hard (hell...fire burning hell) . I'm in the process of converting to bypass at less than a month post-op. And while I'm ready to be over this GERD, I'm dreading another recovery and re-opening incisions. I think it would be much easier if I was a lot further post -op and my body was more healed so if your surgeon is willing to convert you post-op then maybe sleeve is still an option. ? Good luck with whatever decision you make.

Good job!!!!!

I've struggled with reflux really bad so I don't have a wide variety of food. And luckily I found out what happens to my sleeve when I eat too fast and I believed I "dumped"...it was so terrible that I haven't done it since. So I took that as a positive learning , curve. I'm on vacation in Florida and my reflux medicine has been working amazingly so I've eaten a better variety. Fish, shrimp, chicken, scallops, with sour cream and salsa, nonfat Beans with sour cream and advacado, potato casserole from Cracker Barrel with one egg white...etc. but always Protein first and I eat slowly. message me anytime if you'd like or have any questions!

Thanks so much! Sorry my post was confusing! I have weighed myself quite often but it took my breath away when I realized it was the big 50. That was the first time since surgery that I've been overpowered with emotion from the weight loss. I've always gained and lost and gained and lost but realizing I lost half of 100 pounds made me feel like a million bucks. Which is hard to do when I've always been heavy. I'm out of depression...and it feels so good.
