@Foxbins thanks ill defn pick up soon as a precautionary @Sosewsue61 thats how mine is before only when i eat super spicy or super greasy foods, i just normally choose not to eat those foods otherwise no problems what so ever @TX4everLinds yea i saw that about the carb coma..one girl in this VSG/RNY group im in (she had RNY) out of nowhere a few years post op she said she took a bite of cake at a baby shower and started to feel bad so she left and ended up passing out and wrecking her car in a ditch.. she said she and the car was fine and luckily no one else was involved but she said it scared her bc it could have been way more serious and she just wanted to warn people to be careful bc dumping at any point is very serious

@CrankyMagpie thanks for the links, im going to check those out! @GreenTealael thanks girl! ill keep yall posted on what i decide @JohannaLea true, ive seen that a lot and i wonder why some people go back to old habits idk if its bc it is a habit or that they thought this was a cure not a tool like it should be and though "hey ill lose all this weight and still eat what i want" i recognize this is a tool and have seen a therapist to work on my over eating issues and get help to see why im doing these things. i see the tool as help but not a solution, you have to change how you eat and look at food as a lifelong commitment

good luck! let us know how it goes

@Briswife15 thanks, i really appreciate my final follow up is next Wednesday and that's when i have to give my final answer so i really appreciate it!

@CrankyMagpie let me know how it turns out and keep me posted! @Foxbins is it pretty manageable with heartburn meds?

Been trying some of the pureed foods stage.. i'm a texture eater so some of it literally makes me gag..pushing myself to keep testing them so i might have an idea of what to buy for post surgery. I know my taste buds will probably change but i need to be prepared as i wont have anyone to run to the store for me...so what are some of your favorites in the pureed stage thats not awful.

@Matt Z thanks..im definitely going to buy me some to keep on hand at home

@Matt Z i never would of thought of that, thats a good idea! one they gave me as a suggestion was mix unsweetened applesauce with protein powder and god that was awful it was like the texture of slime that kids are always making nowadays and it was just a big nope for me...they said to do cottage cheese and i hate cottage cheese now taste wise period but i figured id try it after surgery and see if my taste buds change worst case my hubby will eat it bc he loves cottage cheese but its never been a thing for me

@Matt Z im considering the RNY with some of the research as a possibility i was just more set on sleeve as it does remove the part of the stomach where ghrelin is released.. my issue which ive been working on now is the always feeling hungry and its why originally i was dead set on sleeve and im trusting my surgeon with where he says which ever i choose he supports HOWEVER im scared of living with heartburn and it getting bad after sleeve but like i mentioned before i dont have it now except for when i eat fried foods which i dont plan to eat afterwards but if there's the chance it could be worse down the road then.. idk... just caught between a rock n hard place

@Screwballski that dinner sounds delicious btw lol... i'm just so torn as i know sleeve is irreversible i'm just wondering what the percentage of sleeve revising to RNY v RNY to sleeve revision percentages are? and i do worry about GERD but also know a lot of people have had the hernia repair while under and been fine ;/ just kind of a catch 22 im hoping it will help mine either way i go

@CrankyMagpie thank you! probaly a good idea bc i dont know what my new tummy will tolerate.

Its alright @Ed_NW i appreciate it. and i havent taken them in the last month or so.. been weening down slowly.. went from coffee with cream to black coffee and then from 2cups a day to 1 cup and then meds with caffeine and now in the last month or so been cutting those out.. i appreciate you trying to help tho @Matt Z thanks for the help! i havent taken them in a while but ty again matt always glad to see you catching stuff for other people, youre always a big help

@Ed_NW thanks! i used that before hand to switch from coffee and now just trying to kick out but stuff worked great tho

@YeahOkay31 thats kind of what he is betting on too.. they found a small hernia and was hoping with repair it would be better... with your GERD is it an all the time thing or more just triggered by certain foods for you?

@KimTriesRNY @insta_adventurer I will defn buy some! thanks to both of you @Matt Z thanks for the advice and humor in the post gave me a good laugh for the day lol

@kathy060464 Thanks!! Trying my best

@Orchids&Dragons thank you for the help! super appreciate it

@GreenTealael thanks i really appreciate the encouragement

@Orchids&Dragons thanks! ill defn do this! how was getting thicker liquids down?

@FluffyChix thanks! im trying to find good options so im not stuck on the same thing... one thing i like about these groups you find new options you may never have though of

@KimTriesRNY i wonder how that one would be, so far i only saw liquid tylenol for colds but im wondering if theres any additive to liquid tylenol that would upset a new tummy? have you tried liquid or know anyone that has and was ok with it?

@KimTriesRNY thanks.. ive seen alot of success with both and mostly people saying they didnt lose or gained back say it wasnt to poor choices but left me wondering if maybe they just didnt want to admit it

@mousecat88 thanks this makes me feel a little better!

@FluffyChix Thanks! those are some good ideas! @Orchids&Dragons yea i might just stay on liquids and on the soup did you just blend it to a creamy consistency or drain off the veggies and stuff

@Matt Z im wondering if gel would be an okay idea to get and just poke a small hole in the capsule and take the inside liquid stuff with some water or a bite of applesauce or something
