Well, Tuesday will be 2 weeks post op for me, so I'm still on liquids..well..I ate a bite of chicken (a bit too soon) it was grilled chicken from KFC and it was pretty small..but it got stuck! :( it hurt so bad and I threw up a little, but it still feels like its there. I didn't drink anything, because I wanted it to come up but I just sipped Water and it still feels like its there. I don't know what to do..I feel so sick and my stomach hurts! I know a lot of us mess up, but I feel like a true fatty for this! Chicken tempted me and I gave in!

This might be a good time to call your surgeon's office. They have a doctor on call that can help you. You are not the only one that gets tempted. So don't be embarrassed. It's a learning lesson. Ask you doc if you can drink some Water 30 minute after. :)

being barely two weeks out and taking a bite of chicken is so risky. and your experiencing symptoms of a problem. I would call but of course its your body.

good luck!

Drink some pineapple juice or some canned pineapple. It will help it slide through and digest.

I wouldn't do that- that's too much sugar and will make that new tummy wrench around!

Pineapple is a tenderizer (that's why we put it on ham) and it may help break down the chicken. This advice was given to me by my NUT. She said if you're having trouble with meat to eat a small piece of pineapple or drink pineapple juice. I would cut the juice with Water though. Also she told us to carry a little baggie of Adolph's meat tenderizer, mix with Water and drink if meat ever felt stuck.

Thanks for the responses, y'all! I went to the dr this morning and told him and he asked "did you throw up?" I said "as much as I could" he said it was fine and to take it slower than that and he told me to start my soft/mushies diet today (13 days out) :) so I'm good. I feel great today, down 19.2 pounds! :)

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
