A Zombie has eaten my brain..



Recommended Posts

So I am recently sleeved at have been eating real food now for about a week and a half. Twice this week I have mindlessly ate/drank like before I was sleeved. It was as if I completely forgot I was sleeved and I was on autopilot. The first thing was on Monday, got a fountain coke while out running errands. First sip- tasted funny, thought the Syrup was out. Second sip- still tastes gross and feels funny in my stomach OH YEAH MY TINY LITTLE STOMACH! Today driving home from work grabbed a small slice of leftover thin crust cheese pizza out of my lunchbox and wolfed it down. A few minutes later have a discomfort in my...tiny little stomach.

Thank god I did not puke or do enough to make me miserable. It's so funny how these bad habits are ingrained so deeply that I do them automatically.

I can see how that could happen! I do it now to an extent. I'll start a "diet" and then mindlessly eat something bad and think "wth?"

Sigh. I don't know how recently you were sleeved bit please be careful!

Sleeved Nov 6 and actually had to go back in the hospital twice after surgery! You would think this something that would be fresh on my mind. I think this just shows how bad habits can become second nature.

Thanks for your concern. The coke was a very small sip then another small sip so I was not all that worried. After the pizza today I think at worst my sleeve would have thrown it back out, it truly was a very small piece (less than 1/8 of a small frozen pizza), and even though I ate it pretty fast I did chew it pretty well.

I so glad I had the sleeve and have everyone on this site for support, advice, etc.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.
