Man' date=' I wish I got full that fast. But I did have my first dumping syndrome(I guess that's what it was?). I had two bites of mashed broccoli and puked it right back up. I was okay after that though. Strange that I can eat 3 oz of chicken but not a few bites of broccoli

Maybe it was too stringy?

Broccoli is a gassy vegetable. I tried to eat cauliflower and luckily I ate one bite only bc it hurt and I kept burping thinking I was gonna puke. Thats funny you ate an egg, I tried to yesterday too. I ate 75% then stopped from fear of getting too full. I haven't puked yet but I am very careful. Even being careful I have had full pains a handful of times and it has me scared. Yesterday I ate 1/2 of one ravioli and it hurt.

Amanda, No I didn't purée the canned chicken. My NUT said that because it's moist it should go down fine. I also asked her if I could do like a chicken salad and she said that was fine as long as I used fat free mayo which I did.

By the way I was constipated so I went and got Dulcolax like my manual instructed me to. Took one and nothing. Then 7 hours later I took two more and today I'm just living in the bathroom. Oh did I mention it's my first day back at work. Holy shit. ????.

Oh man! That sucks. Bowel drugs take about half a day to work. But not if severely constipated.

I'm 19 days out from surgery and I've gained 3 lbs in the past 5 days. I'm seriously discouraged :( I've read a lot about stalls, but actual weight gain ugh. This blows

I've been taking in 60-90 oz of Water every day since surgery. And It's not that time of the month either. This is the weight I was stuck at for 3 years prior to surgery so I'm praying that I don't stay stuck

Sageandcoyesmommy, I am also not getting any feeling that tells me I am getting satisfied/full, but I just watch the amount that I eat and stop when I think I need to.

Funny, how so many people have trouble with liquids because I can drink and drink and drink without any resistance. I go for my first check-up on Thursday, Oct 3rd and I am going to ask the doctor what gives.?!?!!!!! Sorta irritating, since I thought I would only be able to have 1-2 bites, but that isn't the case.

I had only like 2 days of back pain that started a week after my surgery. It went away but if I hick up or sneeze it hurts my back like crazy. I called the office during the two days of continuous back pain and their answer was gas pain from the co2. Simply as she put "I can't do anything for you, just tell you what it is."

      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.
