Love my tummy

[bdcsail 72]

I am 4.5 months post op with no complications. I have lost 62lbs since the start of my journey and feel and look great. I eat well very minimal carbs, no sugar, and usually not over 800 calories. Sometimes I question if my stomach has stretched because I don't experience many of the tummy feelings I had in the first few months. I question maybe I am just making better choices and that's why or has my tummy stretched.

Well tonight I went out to a pub for a networking event my friend who is a personal trainer suggested having a cheat meal once a week. I don't use that card often but decided tonight to go for it. We ended up having Poutine with chicken. It was delicious and I didn't eat much, less than 3 oz. Well it didn't take long for my tummy to say it was unacceptable less then 20 min later I needed to visit the porcelain throne and vomit and return the delicious poutine to where it belonged in the toilet. Once I threw up,I felt great. Very happy to know that my tummy has my back when I don't make the best decision.

Just thought I would share any body else have a similar experience.

Thank you Sleeve you were the best decision I made in 2014.

I haven't vomited yet, but I feel nauseous with just a bite of anything too rich. Had a piece of sourdough bread slathered in butter for my birthday with a glass of white wine, but took just a bite or two, had a couple sips of wine, and said, "I'm done." That would never have happened before: I would have finished the basket, asked for extra butter, and had a second glass of wine. And then be wondering when my dinner would arrive. And maybe order a dessert if I was still hungry.

And that's a lot of it. I was starving all the time. 3:00 am fridge runs, gigantic breakfasts, constant grazing, always worrying that I'd be hungry an hour later. It was so hard to keep my stomach from growling.

Nowadays, it's really like my body is self-policing. Can't figure it out, but I know that it's just happy with lots of Proteins and Water, a bit of vegetables and fruit, and certain things like coconut -- and even then, it's about 1/3 cup of whatever and I'm full as a tick. Whatever this magic is, I am delighted.

I doubt that it's stretched eating so little. However, I have an observation, mostly as a point of clarification for new people reading this. I just wanted to say that it's not a sign that things are good because you over ate and threw up. A better sign is that you identify the amount of food you should eat, stop when you are getting full, and not throw up. I would worry that eating to the point of vomiting might actually stretch it.

Anyway, congrats on your loss, that's great!

Thanks for your feedback I don't even think I overrate I just think it was just not a good food choice, and my tummy decided that it wasn't interested in consuming it.
