Hi everyone!

So I had something happen tonight im not sure I understand ..I had about half an ounce or 9 spoon fulls or so of yogurt. figured out the sugar hit like a ton of bricks..ive come to believe I have sort of dumping.or sensitivity to sugar now. So to help things out..I was going to.eat some protien. So I had half a teaspoon of Peanut Butter. That didnt help much. So then I had about 5..6 spoonfuls of the ricotta cheese recipe on here. About 2 mintues later I felt some pain in my stomache. Im guessing this is an overeating feeling or was it the order I ate the food in? When you have ever over ate something..does your stomache hurt? I know these questions may sound silly to.some folks...but I haven't been on this journey long,. Thanks

I'll tell you what you did wrong. You should eat yogurt that is sugar free first off.

Second if you ate something that disagreed with you, the last thing you should do is eat MORE food to chase it with, and Peanut Butter? Fat (and sugar) would just make dumping worse.

Ditto with the cheese.< /p>

I would tend to agree with laura-ven as far as the food choices...as for the stomach pain, I do get a weird pain in my stomach when I overeat my sleeve...it tends to come on quickly so you have to be mindful...one bite and I'm fine...then with the next bite it seems like I cross the line to overeating...good luck on your journey (of learning)

Gina when was you surgery date?....that's relevant here. Are you on soft foods?

If you are dumping, the Peanut Butter is full of sugar. Instead try some PB2. It's got all the Protein, alot less sugar. And as Laura said, if you don't feel right, stop eating. I understand why you tried to "help things out"....makes perfect sense. But if you were dumping...or perhaps reaching your sleeve limit, more food to process is just going to make it harder on your new sleeve.

Next time try some cottage cheese instead, if you like that. But go easy....some people have a similar sensitivity to dairy after being sleeved.

This is a slight aside but perhaps relevant... Are you sure you are measuring correctly? Your amounts sound a lot to me for someone new to the sleeve, as I totted up around 16 teaspoons eaten fairly quickly. In the early weeks you would expect to take 20 mins to half an hour to eat that much.

I live in a metric world so am not the most familiar with ounces, but I thought 1 Oz = a bit less than 30g. This would make your half ounce yoghurt a 3 modest (flat) teaspoons, not 9.

Hopefully my maths is not wrong here, but my point is that speed matters.

Okay so I know you probably dont dump from sugar and you would have waited it out right? Thanks hun

PB2 is a Peanut Butter substitute. It's basically dehydrated peanuts. It's a powder, you mix it with Water and it makes peanut butter...but much healthier than the regular stuff.

Do you have an approved foods lists for soft foods? There's alot of info floating around here...but off the top of my head I ate alot of cottage cheese, oatmeal, chili with the meat finely ground, scrambled eggs....when do you go on solid foods?

If you don't have a list or a nutritionist and you're not sure what to eat, here's some general guidelines you could consider...although I think the timetable on this link is a little conservative. But better safe than sorry.

I go on solids next week. I have a general idea of food it just seems like everything is digested so differently from one to another. I appreciate your help

      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.
