Gross Question... Do I Count Them?



Recommended Posts

I am closing in on 6 weeks postop. I'm on solids. I've learned the hard way about eating too fast and not chewing well. I slimed and puked yesterday. Big time. It sucked. I don't plan on making the mistake again but I know I am a work in progress. It's hard to change a life time of bad behaviors.

Here is my question. I track on MFP. If the unfortunate experience of eating and up-chucking happens again, do I track it? All of it? Some of it? None of it?

I would track the estimated percentage that stayed down. Just guesstimate.

Depends on how soon it came up, and what came up. If it was down a while, you probably absorbed a little of it. It went down and came right back up, probably almost none. Also consider how digested it was. I never had any of that happen, but it sure sounds unpleasant!

It was awful. Not digested. chicken thigh and artichokes. Maybe down 5 minutes.

Sorry that was so miserable :( I probably wouldn't count it then. Bet you won't be eating that combo for a while!

True that!

It was my own fault. I ate too fast and didn't chew well. You can bet I was on my game this morning. I chewed my Breakfast to mush. Slowly.

I base it on how much stays down. :( has happened several times when it comes to chicken. 15 weeks out and my Jeffrey dahlmer sleeve does not like chicken.

Hahahaha

I know it's not funny but I chuckled a little. Sleeve problems that others don't understand. I haven't puked luckily so not sure but I'd say don't count it. Hope it doesn't happen again!

Ethyl was born after my surgery. She's the voice in my head that says, " You're gonna be sorry you just did that."

      Day 1 of pre-op liquid diet (3 weeks) and I'm having a hard time already. I feel hungry and just want to eat. I got the protein and supplements recommend by my program and having a hard time getting 1 down. My doctor / nutritionist has me on the following:
      1 protein shake (bariatric advantage chocolate) with 8 oz of fat free milk 1 snack = 1 unjury protein shake (root beer) 1 protein shake (bariatric advantage orange cream) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein bar 1 protein shake (bariatric advantace orange cream or chocolate) 1 snack = 1 unjury protein soup (chicken) 3 servings of sugar free jello and popsicles throughout the day. 64 oz of water (I have flavor packets). Hot tea and coffee with splenda has been approved as well. Does anyone recommend anything for the next 3 weeks?

        All I can tell you is that for me, it got easier after the first week. The hunger pains got less intense and I kind of got used to it and gave up torturing myself by thinking about food. But if you can, get anything tempting out of the house and avoid being around people who are eating. I sent my kids to my parents' house for two weeks so I wouldn't have to prepare meals I couldn't eat. After surgery, the hunger was totally gone.

      I have my final approval from my insurance, only thing holding up things is one last x-ray needed, which I have scheduled for the fourth of next month, which is my birthday.
