Oct. 15, 2012 Sleeve Date

Well' date=' I had my 1st "bad" sleeve experience last night. I had a small avocado for dinner; no issues. Then DH asked if I wanted a little bit of turkey sausage.

It was very lean and not spicy, and he cut me four very thin pieces. I chewed the hell out of them and ate really slowly, and they went down fine.

THEN, about 5 minutes later I got such horrible chest pain that I was in tears. It didn't matter what I did, I got no relief and it scared me. I never vomited or slimed but I was miserable for almost an hour.

Not sure if it was the spices in the sausage or I over-ate, but it really got my attention. I wish I knew what caused it so I could avoid it in the future.[/quote']

I bet it was the spices. I had green peppers the other day & then suffered horrible heartburn.

Hi everyone..yes we passed our onw month mark. I have been enjoying following this thread because we are all in the same place time-wise. I have lost weight and inches about 32 lbs since surgery, had a three week stall but finally got things moving again. I have had two awful experiences with slimeing and nausea and

then vomiting, I vomited for 6 hours and was terrified. Of course it was the weekend and there was no blood so I tried to ride it out and keep calm. The cause was cooked cauliflower, I boiled it forever but ate a full cup of it and ate it fast and it stuck and I stayed up until 3am pacing and freaking out. Today is a new day and the cauliflower has gone away. The problem is that I want t be eating real flood and all I can do is puree shakes and Soup. Oh well. I have to realize that this is all such a change for me. I am 66 years old and am a food critic. Obviously I had to take a break from work for 6 months. I go from loving the sleeve to hating it...an emotional roller coaster. I have opted out of Thanksgiving this year, too stressful.

On a whim, I slipped on my size 20, Old Navy jeans and those suckers fit! Can't wear them right now bc jeans still make my tender tummy hurt, but it was AWESOME to put them on.

Good for you! I don't think I have anything in a 20, but my 22s are too big & a pair of 18s are still slightly snug. I'm guessing I must be at a size 20.

Wednesday is 6-week check-up. Still struggling with deciding whether I should find out my weight loss so far.....

That does sounds scary. I put my food in a 2oz cup and if I'm still hungry i get a refill. This makes my brain think ive ate a serving and forces me to get up and walk in the kitchen to get more.
