Ok, I am officially insane!



Recommended Posts

So, I am on day 10 and I know that I am ready to move out of liquids. Even thick puréed Soup doesn't stick long now. So tonight my mom was going to stop by after she went out to dinner. I asked for a hush puppy. She brought two. I chewed well so they were mushy but I am horrified that I could eat two! And possibly some other dinner here in a bit. I'm freaking out. I watched Dr Alvarez's video on "how big is my stomach" and he says 4-6 oz? So I'm thinking ok, how many ounces are those hush puppies? Shouldn't I still be swollen? Or is day 10 normal to not be that swollen anymore? Am I normal? I'm still in that place where I am so scared I am going to fail. That's all I've known.

I'm almost 2 weeks out so I know how you're feeling. I feel as though I'm getting "hungry" lol

I wouldn't reccomend starches as a starter food. Try cottage cheese, an egg, or some thinly sliced deli meat. I'm looking forward to the eggs as soon as my surgeon Okays it on Tuesday.

Yeah I know but I don't really have anything but Soups here yet so I was weak. lol

I do have a small microwaveable chef boy r dee but I think that's mostly carbs too...although some meat.< /p>

Feeling a bit better. I ate the small cup of chef boy r dee. Not the best but I need to go to the store. It was a 7.5 oz cup and I could only eat 1/2! That feels good.

Oh okay. The acid reflux is killer. My favorite is tomatoe Soup and it kills my stomach but tastes delicious, lol

Yeah. Not good I'm sure. I am allowed to be on puréed, mushy, and soft foods on day 10. That's for 2 weeks and them normal foods.

No offense but......

A) If your Mom brought you a hush puppy, why couldn't she have instead brought you something healthy like an egg?

B) Why would you choose fried dough as your first solid food? Lifestyle changes are very important here - It's not just a matter of what you CAN get into your stomach. I could get only cheesecake into my stomach if I wanted to but that wouldn't help me lose weight.

slider foods will always "slide". just like mom2irishtwins said, if you eat healthier things youll find that they dont slide easily. like eggs, veggies and fruits and healthier carbs but i think ur too early for that. anything considered junk food will slide through your sleeve like potatoe chips, chocolate, hush puppies and such, basically carbs and no nutritional value foods.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        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!
