E.S

Thank y’all for commenting. I’m still experiencing blockage , I vomited again. I had a bit of chicken and carrots and it got stuck again. I think I need to pay a visit to the hospital. Yogurt and fruits goes in good. Even cheese.

Hi I feel like crying... today I had my first experience with blockage of food in my esophagus. It felt like I was about to have a heart attack or something , I was on the verge of passing out. Stupid me thinking I would push it down with some yogurt since you can’t drink.. I made it worse. My heart was palpating really fast , I was getting dizzy , I was shaking on my feet until I put a finger in my mouth and vomit most of it out... what came out was a weird thick slimey substance I had left over tilapia fish from yesterday which was dry. I knew before hand it would be a risk of me eating it cuz of the dryness but here I am , still eating it. 2 bites and I went through hell. I’m 3 weeks and 4 days post op. I still feel something blocking but I’m drinking water.... Food is my enemy. Before the surgery it was my enemy and i abused it made myself morbidly obese and now after surgery It feels like it tries to kill me. I know I’m super emotional. I never experienced being thin and care free, seeing people who are thin and care free of what they eat makes me so jealous and makes me feel so low. I have to watch out for the rest of my life of the stuff I put in my mouth. Life is unfair but we deal with it. This by far worse than dumping syndrome. I have learned my lesson. No more tilapia fish for me for awhile. Thanks for reading xoxo

How is it fighting it ? Do you have a fever ? And are you going to the doctors ? Pleas take care xoxo

Thank y’all for the reactions my incision is closed now. The water came out and it does hurt a little but it’s closing in.

Thank you for the advice 😊

Thank you for responding! I haven’t checked yet if I have a fever. I do feel kinda warm tho, but I don’t know if it’s because of the incision. It doesn’t hurt when I touch it.

Thank you 😊

Hey everyone, I was curious if somebody could tell me if this looks like a infected incision. There is coming very very little fluid out of it which is clear in color. I’m worried a bit if I should go to the hospital and check this out?? Excuse my break out, since the surgery I’m breaking out very badly, all over my face and body. But I hope you guys can help!

Hey y’all so today I want to show you the amount I can eat at 20 days post op. Remember every hospital has their own guidelines what you may or may not eat. So I took this as an example. After I have my dinner st 6 pm. I always have something at 8 pm. And that’s the final eating moment for me. Which works for me. First picture is what I thought I could eat. And the second picture is the left over. I’m full. So I stopped eating. Raspberries, blackberries, golden berries and tiny nuggets of goat cheese.

It’s the best decision of my life to admit I’m an addict , and to stay away from junk food and soda for the rest of my life. Lord knows what’s going to happen but I will do everything in my power to never touch it again. And god is my witness 🙏🏻🙏🏻

You’re gorgeous🙏🏻

Hi everybody. I’m 18 days post op and so far I had one dumping episode because I ate to fast. But other than that, it’s pretty much smooth sailing so far (fingers crossed it continues to be) very thankful for that. Today I realized more than ever I’m a food addict. And I admit today I’m a food addict. I was in denial. And I always didn’t understand why I went back to eating junk once I tasted it again after a long period of dieting. 🤔 and now today, I wholeheartedly admit I’m an addict! I promised myself that I will never eat junk food again and drink fizzy sodas. Once I go back to eating on bite, I will go back for more. Come on, who can eat one bit of a cookie and leave it in the cookie jar??? Nobody!! Why would I kid myself ??? I can’t allow myself to see me slip back in old habits. It’s not worth it, I feel imprisoned in my body, the layers of fat, hiding the real me. Feeling heavy every day, painful ankles cuz of the weight , social isolation and feeling ugly. It’s not worth it for that taste! Just like any other drug, I have to completely stay away from it and I have to *accept* it. Trust me , these passed couple of days has been hard with feelings of resentment and self pity. How life is unfair .... even flashbacks of eating junk. Thinking about junk food , even thoughts of sabotaging myself with eating “slider foods” I felt bad. The gastric bypass was my last ditch effort , I can’t afford it to not succeed. I hope you guys are doing well on you journey. I hope mine will be successful and stay successful for the rest of my life. Because that’s truly it, it’s a life long battle whether one has to admit or not. When did you admit to yourself you have a food addiction? And what were the steps you took to overcome them? Thank you for reading 🙏🏻

Hey, great topic! I’m 18 days post op, and I haven’t cheated once. Also not doing the two weeks shake diet. I’m done with junk food. I’m a food addict. If I start taking one bite, it’s not gonna stop. It’s gonna get out of hand. So I made a promise before the surgery and actually today, to never ever ever eat junk food or drink sodas. It’s really over for me. Gastric bypass surgery was my last ditch effort , I can’t afford loosing grip of myself again. The horrible feeling being stuck in a fat body , with no social interaction, feeling ugly everyday and heavy is not worth it. All I can say is , i hope I can keep my promise to myself. Bless 🙏🏻

Thank you for sharing your story, it’s always gonna be a uphill battle to not give into the cravings whether one experienced dumping or not. Just remember why you had this surgery and make it your every day reminder. I can certainly tell you lot of things they said before the surgery doesn’t pan out after the surgery 🤔🤔 Good luck with everything 🙏🏻
