Hello, IM not sure what to call this discussion other then my own stupidity. Im about 12 days post op and was doing very well. Down 27 pounds since July 23. Yeah go me, here is the kicker...... my husband bless his pain in the rear soul, made my favorite food tonight. Those fall off the bone Pork Ribs.... well dummy me did it, yep I snitched about a T of meat, couldnt resist it was callin my name..... I chewed and chewed and chewed, then chewed some more just to be sure..... it was muush... or so it felt..... 10 min later was getting sick, not much came up, think it was stuck........ have been having some pressure like pains...... figures Karma is come back to bite me in the rear but good for lack of judgement here.....cant tolerate a sip of water........ has anyone else fallen off the wagon, or am I the lone dumba**......... what do I need to do if anything, I went walking, got the burps, that helped some, but still lots of pressure.....Ya know i was just craving the chewing experience. I think its what i miss the most..... well that and fall off the rib pork ribs..... he had to make them.

ANY words of wisdom would be greatly helpful.

Thanks,

Advice: make the husband eat outside LOL, and forbid him from entering the kitchen.

In all seriousness, it should pass, but it'll take time. You may want to stick to liquids tomorrow so your stomach can relax and recover.

Problem with eating foods too early, and things getting stuck is you don't want to do it often. Esophageal dilation sucks, and can be permanent. Also, being so early out, your staple line is still so sensitive. You don't want to induce vomit and stress it.

Think of your stomach, like a newborn babies stomach. You wouldn't feed a 12 day old baby pork ribs, right? Your tummy doesn't want that type of food right now either.

Hi there! your human, not a dumba**, i have fallen off the wagon 100 times (thank god i've not gained more then 1-2 lbs, comes off really fast) but you know what it's life, we are not perfect, we live by our mistakes, that is what makes us human. . . if we were perfect we wouldn't be here on this earth right? So don't worry it'll happen . . . as for the pain, well honey i'm sure you've learned NOT to do that again, and if not, well you'll experience the pain again. . . ugh it's painful. . . i do that A LOT. . . i like to eat, but with this sleeve i really can't eat much (thank goodness) sometimes my eyes are much bigger then my stomach (literally :lol0:) and i'll start to slime and have pain. . . i have 47 years of bad habits to undo, it'll get there in time. . i'm so much better now at 48 then i was 7 months ago and it's going to get better. . . it's been a learning experience just like it will be for you . . . good luck and don't be so hard on yourself. . . your doing well . . . :)

      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.

      The 14th was my day. I am home and recovery is going pretty smooth. They even let me walk out of the hospital. Picture of me in recovery curtesy of my boyfriend lol.
