How long do the slimes last for?

I just ate too fast and am trying really hard not to vomit.

@@NewKaren Hi can you tell me when that started happening? Have you been experiencing it since surgery or since you began eating "real" food? I'm just curious to when that may start. I just got out of surgery on Monday so I'm still on full liquids. I haven't experienced any of it so maybe I haven't reached That point yet?

I only vomited once and that was in the hospital I was eating ice chips and took in a piece that was too large. I practiced eating slow pre-op and after that ice incident I remember to go slow.

Try taking slow, deep breaths.

Hi guys, I have experienced it a few times but last night was by far the worst. I need to make sure I only take one small bite a minute because I was hurting last night. And it lasted about an hour or so. The thing that really sucks is that I can't even lay down because the food is still sitting so uncomfortably. It's a true learning process, but I am down 48 lbs since my surgery on September 15th :-)

Yes...I've vomited quite a few times,its when you over eat and the food won't go down..it feels like you have to burp but nothing comes out..so the food is just sitting there until it comes up.

With me I keep swallowing to make the food go down.

But to no availability the saliva comes right back up with the food. ....I will never learn! Its a learning process

I've heard some people buy baby spoons so they have to take smaller bites. I was told by my nutritionist to chew my food slowly and let it dissolve instead of chewing and swallow like I used to.

      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.
