Please advised: I'll be 10 weeks on Tuesday. On Wed of last week I ate some chips and threw them up. I know...I shouldn't have allowed my stress levels get to me that way and I feel terribly guilty. It was out of habit and just felt so natural that i wasn't really aware of what i was doing until my stomach started to rebel. My issue though is that I have not been able to eat without some pain or awkward sensations. I feel swollen, like I'm really restricted. Swelling is one thing and I know it'll take some time for it to go away but should I be worried? I mean, if I tore something or had an abscess or stricture I would have offer symptoms...right?

You may want to talk to your doctor, but my stomach became inflamed again about 3 weeks out and - dont become too concerned - it took me weeks longer to change to solids and I had begun some very modest solids and had to regress.

Get back to very basics.

Now, may I ask why you even have those types of foods in your home anymore?

tisk, tisk, tisk

Good luck sweetie.

Thanks for responding. I may just call the doc on Tuesday. I was hoping it was just swelling. I don't buy stuff like that any more. My mother was visiting and had went to subway and got a sandwich and chips. I had a terrible day at work and was reliving me day as I was explaining it to her. I was so mad that I was eating and fussing all at the same time. It felt so natural b/c I've been so accustomed to eating to deal with stress in my past. I definitely learned my lesson. Just hope it didnt damage my sleeve.

Maybe you just ate too fast. I am not sleeved yet but I thought we had to eat all of our food really slow. Maybe you were chatting and eating so you were going to fast. I don't think one episode would damage your sleeve. I have heard tons of stories about people getting sick post sleeve from eating too fast or to much. I hope all is ok. I am not sure what I am going to do about stress eating. I find myself reaching for food at work and home when stressed. I am going to have to watch that as well.

      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.
