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

      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.
