I hate to say this but every time I see someone on these boards who is having problems and not feeling well, it seems their doctor or nut already has them on full or mushies too early in the process. I know there are a lot of people who started full liquids or mushies with no problem too, but you know everyone is different.

My doctor specifically said to only have clears for the first 10 days because up to 2 weeks is the risk for a leak along the staple line....

Tiff always give good advice and obvioulsly with where she is in her weight loss/maintaining...she is doing the right thing..

I would personally suggest to stay away from canned, purreed, salty foods this early out and stick to broth. I used powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury chicken Soup and I really found it gentle and easy on the stomach.

Good Luck, it will get better.

Hi.

No your tummy tell's you when it has had enough, just like it used to, but if you push another bite you may or may not upchuck. I found that as time went on I naturally knew when to stop. It also depends a lot on what you just ate. Everyone seems different.

I haven't done it in a long time just in the early days it happened only twice.

For me it initially was just me getting used to my new stomach My brain didn't catch up to my new stomach. Old habits die hard I guess.

Please don't get frightened. I have no regrets to this day.

My best,

Will

If you do have to be sick from eating too much, is it the same as being sick because you are actually sick? Do you go through the sweats, shakes

and all that working up to actually being sick?

I was told dumping controls Gastric bypass folks. This would definitely control me! I hate throwing up and would probably become a hermit if it ever

happened to me publicly. I've swallowed my pride and lived with be the fat one in the room. I will not be the one who pukes.

      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. 🤞
