So I've noticed that sometime when I eat my back starts to hurt then I start feeling pressure on my chest. It's happened quiet a few times. I dont know if it's cause I'm eating to fast and that is what's causing the pain and uncomfortable feeling. I was sleeved on 9/13/12

Also today I ate a peach with out the skin, nut said I could have it... So I was eating it then I got that pain again with a lot of pressure on my chest then I felt like I had to throw up, ran to the bathroom and it was just foamy stuff.. what was that? Should I be worried,call the surgeon, or is this normal?

Thanks

You're fine. What you did is called sliming. Do a search on this site for it. It happens when you eat too quickly, take bites that are too large or don't chew enough.

I had it happen to me once after eating a peach, too. Went back to the old habit of inhaling my food and whoosh! The foam started flowing. Not an experience I wanted again and that re-enforced the need to slow down.

You have to remember, the stomach is th mechanical part of digestion. It churns food around with the stomach acids to prepare it to enter the intestines. 85% of it was just recently removed. The staple line hasn't even fully healed, yet. Take it slower that you think ... don't push it. Help out the mechanical part by chewing well.

        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.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      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
