Major Fail 3 weeks out-Advice please?



Recommended Posts

Hi all. Will keep this short. 3 weeks out and was progressing to veggies today. Had some coconut Water and was making kale chips for later in the week. Must have drank the Water too quick. After cooking the chips, I ate about three to see how they were, bc I'd never made them before. Almost immediately I felt queasy.

Now I've been spitting up but can't barf (hiatal hernia repair maybe why?) and my chest hurts. Feel like I have liquid way up to my jaw. I definetly just thoughtlessly did something I used to do when I cooked per-sleeve. I feel absolutely idiotic now and I'm horrified about this resulting in a leak. I feel like I messed up really early on here--if this is the feeling people get when they eat too much, it's the first I've read of someone being dumb enough to get it this early into their experience.

Any words do advice? Def learned a lesson. Not looking for coddling but also please don't beat me up! :/

FYI, The kale chips are just kale in the oven with seasoning. Nothing crazy fattening.

I get that if I eat too fast or too much. It usually leads to vomitting for me but I also find that walking around helps it go away. It is the worst feeling but does go away.

I think you will be fine :-) As for the full feeling it will go away eventualy. I still get the feeling and I am almost 2 months out. Just make sure when you start on puree that you eat it slow and chew chew chew.

Oh I forgot to mention, wait at least 30 minutes after drinking to eat and 30 minutes to an 1 hour after eating to drink something. I learned that the hard way lol To me its like if you drink with food the drink will go to the bottom of sleeve and the food comes up to your throat and feels horrible.

Thanks Leann! I think this is exactly what happened. I drank coconut Water too fast then popped three little kale leaves. It does feel horrible! Gosh I can't wait for it to pass.

      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.

      Had a sleeve in 2017, lost over 100 pounds. Had a DS surgery this year (2025) for more sustainable weight loss. 🤞
