Read this and learn from my embarrassing mistake...



Recommended Posts

I am two months post op (just about) and have been doing really well. No cheating and losing the weight I want to be losing.

However, we were just on vacation for a week, and while I did well on vacation, on the way home my daughter wanted chicken nuggets... So, I ordered a cheeseburger... I'm not doing a ton of carbs (haha!) so I got rid of the bread and just ate the burger. Then I had way too many fries.

Well, let me just say, having not had much grease in my diet for the past 2 months caused a REVOLTING stomach issue.

I won't go into details....but it was public, foul and the most embarrassing experience of my life.

DON"T do this to yourself...a burger and fries are just not worth it!!!

I tried to have a few bites of my kids nuggets a month or two after surgery and had a horrible sliming episode. I have eaten lean ground beef burgers with wheat Buns (bottom only) and not had any issues. I dont know that I would be brave enough to eat a McDonalds burger... and I dont think it would keep me full long.

As for fries i dont even bother. Some days I can eat one or two, others one is enough to do me in so its just not worth it!

I had a horrible sliming episode at work a few weeks ago and my boss was trying to talk to me. She at least asked if I wasnt feeling well but as she continued talking I could only nod my head in response to her questions. I didnt think she would ever walk away so I could spit!

Ragdoll--That is horrible about your boss. We both live in the DFW area. Sounds like you work for the same horrible boss I did. I worked(now retired) for the electric company. Is that where u work---lol. I wish you had just slimed on her. That would really teach a lesson.

Hi ladies,

I haven't had the PB thing yet...This was far more embarrassing... :rolleyes:

I did try to eat an English Muffin (last day of vacation...only food left in the house were carbs) and that WAS NOT pretty... it hurt so bad, I thought I would cry...or vomit.

Oh, and so far pineapple has been fine. It's a bit fiberous...so perhaps that is why you are having trouble with it?

:)

I can't do potatoes either, the starch maybe?? Bread... it's evil as are eggs. Soda... It hurts, I don't bother and I don't miss it much.

Pineapple... My guess is that is that it is stringy like celery. Try chopping it up verrrry fine so there are not long strings and that might help. Pineapple juice is great if you are stuck.

      Sometimes reading the posts here make me wonder if some people just weren't mentally ready for WLS and needed more time with the bariatric team psychiatrist. Complaining about the limited drink/food choices early on... blah..blah...blah. The living to eat mentality really needs to go and be replaced with eating to live. JS

        We have to remember that everyone moves at their own pace. For some it may be harder to adjust, people may have other factors at play that feed into the unhealthy relationship with food e.g. eating disorders, trauma. I'd hope those who you are referring to address this outside of this forum, with a professional.


        This is a place to feel safe to vent, seek advice, hopefully without judgement.


        Compassion goes a long way :)

        Seems it would be more compassionate not to perform a WLS on someone until they are mentally ready for it. Unless of course they are on death's door...

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.
