I did the same thing. My doctor told me not to worry about it. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

No you can't be upset. Just because you can't eat it doesn't mean they should have to alter their diet for you. Imagine you and another gastric friend invite one of your friends and take her to a place for gastric sleeve or bypass amd expect her to be ok. Ok not a great example but you get the drift this is the lifestyle you chose and yes sometimes it sucks but they didn't chose this. Do you think if you were further out and could have had a quarter slice of pizza or topping you would be this upset? If the answer is no. Then just chalk it up to a bad day. If you answer yes then those feelings maybe justified or there maybe a deeper issue. Either way you can feel whatever way you want...that is the great thing about feelings, you choose not them.

First off welcome and I hope you can join in a lot. I have been on this board for almost a month and I have found it helpful. For me, my preoperative diet was Optifast shakes 5 a day x 14 days. I could have as much Water as I wanted as well as sugar free Jello and sugar free popsicles. The first 4 days and last 3 days were rough. Surgery for me was rough. I am only 5 days post op and I am struggling. The support on here has gotten me through. Just pace yourself 1 day, minute or moment at a time. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

So I got on the scale today and I am finally back down to pre-surgery weight. I am still struggling with food ideas. I have ate 2 times something I thought I could but my stomach told me off in the way of severe cramps. Just need idea and suggestions. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

He doesn't want me drinking the optifast shakes from preop due to the sugar content. I use premier protein but I am still about 10-15 grams under goal.

Dumping basically is triggered by high sugar or high fat content. The food doesnt stay in the pouch long and will rapidly emptying (dumping) during this process you can get heart palpitations, dizziness, stomach cramps, nausea, vomiting or diarrhea. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

The sweating is probably related to digestion as your body used the food it produces energy. Freezing I haven't been to justify. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

i think the pill thing is not about swallowing it is about being able to have them in you long enough to absorb the medicine. I have a BP pill that is repulsive crushed but I force myself to choke it down every morning. So gross though. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App I thought the same thing. I chew my meds in the am and crush my pm Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App

I know your feeling. I just had surgery on 12/23/16. I have been home two days. I wondered if I made a mistake. The answer is no. This is what I want. I am learning my pouch and it took about 24 hours for my pain control, but now I am doing ok at paying clothes attention to what I eat. Sent from my SM-G935V using the BariatricPal App
