Okay, tonight I discovered something truely gross.

When you PB on chopped creamed spinach, it's form doesn't change from pre-PB to post-PB.

I don't think I can ever look at it the same ever again.

I remember having a similar experience while puking spaghettios during a stomach flu (pre-band). Very disturbing.

Ewwwwwwww! :)

Hm almost as bad as watching your kid throw up unchewed cocktail frankfurts, eeeew. Literally one bite swallow. I think you call them weiners, lol.

When I was a physiotherapy student and we did dissection on human bodies, we looked for the carrot gland in the abdominal cavity, lol. Where do the carrots come from?

Isn't it amazing we always look at what comes back, hoping to determine what caused the damn slime/pb anyway. I usually find myself saying to myself, so that's what caused this.

Ewww. my cousin ate & puked Teddy Grahams once, and they were still Teddies when they came back up.

I'll confess something kinda related. I rarely upchuck - twice in the last 20 years. Last time was a la stomach virus. I'd eated hamburger pizza for dinner. Long story short - chucked the next afternoon. Couldn't make it to the bathroom so I hit an empty/unlined trashcan. If I see puke or hear someone puking, then I'll puke too, so I couldn't "pour" the "trash" into the sink or toilet - the sound would have made me chuck again. So I put the trashcan in the shower on its side, close my eyes, and try to blindly maneuver the showerhead so that it's spraying up inside the can. Well I give up and look. My first thought is more panic than thought, "WTF? Do I have some kind of stomach parasite? What parasite looks like THAT?" and I'm completely freaked out b/c among the now-very-wattered-down unsavory bits in the shower, there are thin black wriggly things floating around in the tub. It really freaked me out for a minute or so until I realized... ohhhhh... stomach acid must turn pickle rind black. I was seeing the wavy pickle slice "skins" from my hamburger pizza. :(

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
