Six weeks post sleeve I chewed a very small soft piece of crockpot chicken breast. It stuck in my chest. I ran through my house unable to tell my husband to call rescue because I could not breathe. You can bet that never happened AGAIN! I took every precaution and had been approved for that chicken in my food plan. I stuck to Soups, broths, shakes, cottage cheese, etc, until my NUT at three months declared I should eat salads. The fear was REAL.

That's scary!!

I wonder what happens to people who eat pizza or a burger the day after. Their stomach is gone - so how do they get back straight? I know it's horribly dangerous. Wonder what their final outcomes are.

I'm 23 months out. I can eat one whole slice. But thats it. One. Nothing else fits.

People actually attempt pizza and burgers!!!!??? I would kill for just the toppings off a slice of pizza but I know better

I eat anything but rice, very minimal bread, no fibrous veggies. But ive had half a double cheese burger, or one slice of pizza. Im 23 mths out. Its ok just as you know you need to continue to exercise. Its a total lifestyle change. But you will eat portions of a kid for the rest of your life.

Like many have posted, please just stop and remind yourself why you put yourself through this surgery! My saving grace was pea Soup, you will find what you like, just remember to stick the guidelines they gave you I know it's hard but I know you can do it! I hope you're feeling better I'm so glad you reached out! I'm 5 months out but I still remind myself everyday why I did this, watching those numbers go down really helps too!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
