Slipped big time! How's everyone else doing?



Recommended Posts

Well today I totally stuffed up! I am 3 weeks post and ate a whole packet (121g) of maltesers thru the course of 3 hours this evening! I feel so awful mentally not physically cause I did it! I also went out to eat with my 3 kids and my mum and we went Toby carvery and it was so funny as my girls had bigger plates of food than I did! I ate about 20g Turkey 50g mash and had loads of gravy to make it mushy! I also had a 50g size Yorkshire! took me about half hour to eat it, it didn't make me feel ill or anything I felt comfortably full not sick full! Over in uk it goes 1-2 weeks liquids 2-4 weeks soft foods 4-6 weeks start introducing harder stuff! But my consultant suggested I tried meats as long as I chew to a mush which I did! I am at a stall at moment and actually gained 3kg but it's my time of the month in next few days so I am not shocked!!!!!

Hope everyone else is doing well!

Hi I'm from the UK too and I am 16 days post op. I went out last night and couldn't hold down anything except Soup. I couldn't imagine eating any meats just now. Did you find it difficult before your latest meal to eat anything or has it been easy so far??

Initially it was that nothing stayed down and it all poured out but now I am 21 days post and although it hurts or uncomfortable sometimes I am very careful with how much goes in my mouth and take a long time chewing

It' good to see some other UK folk on here.

Don't worry about your Malteesers slip up. Everyone falls off the wagon, just get back on and learn from it. Luckily for me, I've not found avoiding sweets too difficult - for me it is the savoury stuff. I can hear my name being called every time I pass a KFC or a Greggs.

I can't start normal foods until week six, I'm currently in soft solid stage, so eating a lot of cold sliced meat from the deli counter. I had some sourdough bread yesterday and it was the most amazing thing ever, though it felt wrong to throw away the lovely yummy crusts. Luckily I've not had any problems keeping anything down yet.

I am having same issue of kfc, Mac Donald's, crazy chicken, it's pure hell for me as everyone I talk to or see eat it still! Or a bit piece of rump steak with ketchup

I wouldn't feel too bad about it. Just start over and be careful going forward. Our bellies are still fragile. Side note - this American girl would kill for some Nandos right about now!

Sadly, I had the worst holiday meal ever. I'm sure just eating too fast. Tried a bite of pork loin, 3 bites home made Mac & cheese & 2 deviled eggs. After every single bite, I went to bathroom in pain & threw up. :( I'm 10 weeks out. Thought for sure it would've been better. On bright side (I guess) I didn't keep anything in to gain anything! :)

Why in the world would you keep eating if you were in pain and throwing up after every bite? Genuinely curious.

I truly see no bright side in this behavior.

I would slow the eating down, chew more thoroughly thinking this bite will stay down. Cause after 10 weeks, and it being Easter & having not eaten much.....I was excited for a meal other than yogurt. It's been a frustrating 10 weeks. I want to eat! I want something to stay down & not have pain.

And "no bright side in this behavior"? Do you know me? Do you know what I've gone thru in 10 weeks? What my eating habbits have been? What my wt loss has been? My exercise? Didn't think so. I've followed this plan to the T. Worked my butt off for where I am. And am proud of what I've done so far!

Whilst I understand both sides I think that lipstick lady's point was that you could cause damage to yourself if you are throwing up all the time and pushing things too far. I understand that as the diet is restrictive you want to branch out and try other things but you should listen to your body and work with it and not with your cravings for other types of food. Take your time and look after yourself.. personally I would hate for you to end up back in hospital or your journey to take a step back

Nope, you're right. I sure don't.

I do know that no amount of exercise, weight loss, adherence to plan, butt working, etc. will EVER "justify" continuing to eat despite pain and vomiting with each bite.

I have a stricture. I have had more than my share of vomiting and pain. I am smart enough to know that at ten weeks out, your stomach is still healing. Excessive vomiting causes damage to your esophagus and teeth. It can damage your new sleeve and cause you to pop blood vessels in your eyes and face as well as lead to dehydration. Continuing to eat despite pain and vomiting and justifying it that "at least you can't gain" from what you ate also smacks of bulimia, a serious eating disorder that I fear for myself at times.

I can't imagine that there is a doctor out there that would approve of continuing to eat despite pain and vomiting with each bite. I know when I have an episode, my doctor wants me back on liquids for the next few hours minimum.

I'm not judging you and if my words don't pertain to you, ignore them. They may spark a level of understanding in someone else reading that might be experiencing the same.

Good luck to you. If your habits work for you, have at it! :D

Ok, lets clarify a few things....I DONT do this on a dly basis. I eat what I know I can handle/tolerate. It was Easter, with family. I did not want to drink Water while they ate. I DO understand what vomiting does, I've been an RN for 23 yrs. Your condescending attitude is what irritates me. The no weight gained, was a joke. Did you really think I was serious about that?? And lastly, if that's not judging....you & I have 2 diff meanings to that term.

      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.
