Does YOUR Dr say this too?



Recommended Posts

My bariatric Dr told me today if food gets stuck and it gets thrown up then we're not to eat any more until the next meal. This is after he asked me if food gets stuck and I told him about 2x a week, if that, ON MY FIRST BITE but ONLY because it's too big of a bite and if I eat my bites too fast. The pain is so intense in waves that I can't take it anymore and make myself bring that piece up and then I can continue to eat the rest of my meal.
Ok, so, with only eating 3 meals per day, no Snacks, no supplimental Protein drinks allowed (though I do anyway. Screw him), I eat my first bite of food, it gets stuck, I suffer in intense pain until it passes (a while), still hungry but not allowed to eat after it passes so then I'm only getting 2 meals in for that day. I'm pretty sure that doesn't give me enough Protein and nutrients for that day.

OR

I simply bring that one piece back up from my first bite then continue to eat my meal, pain free, stuck free and getting in all my nutrients.


No, I'm not bulemic, never will be. Barfing is gross. I just want that stuck piece of food that's causing so much pain to get out so that I can eat the rest of my food.


And why is it usually only the first bite???


And I'll refrain from the rest of the long rant I have about my Dr. I'm done with him and his office staff. Not going back. I've had it. For many other reasons.


(btw, my family dr ran all blood work/vitamins and everything is perfect! :) Bariatric Dr doesn't run those tests until 6 months post op (I'm 3). )

I'm losing my hair in clumps anyway but not because of Protein. It's just because of anesthesia and losing so fat probably.

He didn't even tell us that we looked good and our weight loss is right on track :( The nurse made me feel bad too. This visit sucked. Actually ALL of my visits sucked. Glad I'm done there. I don't need that.

      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. 🤞
