I scarfed it down! ugghhhh.....



Recommended Posts

So I let my blood sugar get way too low. In my feverish attempt to raise it, I scarfed down an entire piece of pizza!!!! Surprisingly my sleeve didn't revolt as I would expect....I am so mad at myself. I should have grabbed a Protein Drink instead. I probably stretched the heck out of my sleeve! Who would thunk pizza would be a skidded!?!?

pizza, Peanut Butter, a piece or two of candy...that is what you need when your blood sugar is low. Carbs, not Protein, are converted into sugar,. Don't worry about carbs, just get something carby in as fast as you can. Low blood sugar is not to be messed around with...Kathe

I think threads like this are excellent for pre-sleevers. To the OP, you can learn from this and change. That learning and changing is so much easier with this tool. Most of us will never be perfect, but much, much better. This sort of thing just happens sometimes. To pre-sleevers -- and I think most importantly -- every one is very different after this change and you must ease your way into your new stomach. Contrary to what I've read here, breads are one of the hardest things for me. My hubby and I went out for pizza about 3 weeks ago. It was my first pizza since being sleeved in early April. It was the type of place where they cut the pizza into squares and I ate one 2 x 4 inch(approx. guess) piece of cheese only pizza, no other toppings. Knowing it might be an issue I nibbled it down and it was my first dining out experience where I had to excuse myself for 5 minutes. That little and even with eating it slowly, it was like it rejoined into a lump. I find that when something feels like it's in a massive knot in my stomach, taking a walk and stretching out helps me so I went outside, walked to the car, opened the trunk -- which was actually my excuse for stretching the trunk of my body out as far as I could, then I walked back in slowly. It was only about 10 minutes before I felt comfortable again but it will be a long while before I try pizza again.

      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.
