Small Cheat Big Issues



Recommended Posts

I had a small empanada during my mushy stage- I did chew well and took my time, i was fine till later that night i felt my stomach distended and like a ball drop in side 2 times. I am very gurgly today and not real pain but discomfort and feel full although sticking to Clear Liquids today- or until this passes! I also know that I am constipated so buyi that milk of magnesia on way home. Anyone else misbehave like me? Please do not yell at me, I know I should have waited to eat that hard afood for another 2 weeks. Just want to know if all is lost...

I will play the food police for Dr Aguila's patients. Grider,I was looking forward to meeting you& recovering you after your lapband surgery ,however I started my Xmas vacation. I would have given advice from my experience as a lapband patient first, then as a nurse caring for his patients for the past 7 years! If you follow the rules you will be successful. If you don't, you set yourself up for failure! Get back on your post-op food guide & follow it for the 6 weeks!

Grider, food police again- no more juice after 1st week. You shouldn't be drinking milkshakes either!

HI, sorry I did not get to meet you - I did ask - The juice was cramberry mixed with gatorade, in the first week, I was explaining how I have kept all the rules until this one thing I stuck in my mouth. The milkshakes he said until 3rd week. I dont have any of those left, but Protein Powder. BUT you are very right, have to watch the P's & Q's. I did not tell people on my job I had wls surgery and I think I just wanted to participate in the whoo whoo, which we dont have often. My mistake. The body feels better since the milk of magnesia, little tug on my left side, maybe gas? and the back feels better like night and day, must have been Constipation? ?? I do wonder if my muscles are so soft in my tummy now, that things too loose in there, still have issues laying on side an stuff.

      Hi everyone! I’m brand new here. I just went through all my pre-op requirements per my insurance company and now everything has been submitted and I’m just waiting for final approval and my surgery date. I’ve been doing research, watching YouTube videos, TikTok’s, ect.. trying to prepare my mind and what to expect so I’ll be ready for the surgery. I was so sure and so set and so ready and excited. However, now that I’ve done everything & it’s almost here, I am sooooooo scared! I know why I want it bc I’ve tried everything and I just don’t feel like I can lose weight by myself. I’m tired of being overweight my entire life. I’m miserable, but I keep psyching myself out afraid of GERD bc I know how that can be and I don’t want to have to get a bypass after already gaining the courage to even get VSG. I’m scared of complications like I’mgoing to regret doing it and be depressed that I didn’t just be more disciplined and try again to lose the weight on my own even sitting here typing this knowing in my mind i just can’t and don’t possess the discipline. I’m also afraid I won’t be able to handle the restrictions of the sleeve. What do I eat? I don’t know how to eat healthy really and don’t enjoy healthy food. I don’t know how to do this! I feel so defeated!Someone tell me they felt anything similar to this or am I not ready? I thought I was. I am so tired of being sick and tired and so tired of myself and so tired of being stuck and stuck in this body and somebody different on the outside from what I feel inside. I just want to ball up and cry.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
