Should I be worried?



Recommended Posts

Ok so I am 14 days post op and on mushies. I haven't really been able to stomach much including my Protein Shakes. Tonight my husband got me fat free frozen yougurt. I didn't think I would be able to eat much. I probably ate the size of a large deck of cards. Well I got the dreaded slimed n threw some of it up. I am worried I ate too much and too fast. Could I cause a leak from this? I mean when you eat it it is pretty much a soft solid/liquid so I don't think it would stretch my sleeve that much, right? I was sooo stupid, I have been starving n it just felt and tasted so good going down. My stomach feels full but not stuffed or hurting, do u think I'm ok??

Please let me know, thanks!

You are fine. Frozen yogurt turns to liquid in the stomach and can't really exert much pressure on the staple line. Vomiting, however, should be avoided. In the future, eat slower and take smaller bites ESPECIALLY when it's something that tastes good. I can really scarf a favorite food down and then pay for it afterward--things I don't really care about eating I tend to eat slower.

It might have been fat-free, but was it also sugar-free? Sometimes high-sugar foods cause that problem for me... I hope you're feeling better now!

      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.
