Slurpee 7 days post opp



Recommended Posts

Hi All

I had a slurpee yesterday and haven't been feeling well since - strong pains in my stomach and dizzy each time I stand up

Should I be worried?

I done the operation 21st December

Thanks !

Probably wasn't your best idea. It won't hurt you as far as your stitches and suture line, but I'm guessing that the pure sugar hitting your system wasn't in your surgeon's plan for you.

Hope you feel better soon!

Slurpees are pure sugar, could potentially have dumping syndrome, . I would definitely call your doctor if it persists. I hope you feel better!

Probably the most important question that you might want to internally reflect on is what made you do that to yourself? If your cravings are over powering you this early out from surgery you might want to get therapy for your food/sugar addiction because this surgery is just a tool, it won't cure those long term issues for you. Eating crap is what got us into a position of needing WLS to begin with, so this is your time to create good food habits.

I am holding out hope that it could have been a "7-Eleven sugar free Slurpee". 21 calories and 0 carbs.

      Just been waiting until time for my consult with my bariatric surgeon. It's scheduled for Jan 9th. Turns out I won't actually be seeing him. Apparently it'll be with his P.A.             Not sure what to expect. I thought this is where the surgeon would discuss the best surgery option for me. For years I had my heart set on the sleeve, but I've read so many people have issues with reflux - even if they've never had it before - that they've had to be revised to the bypass. I already deal with GERD & take 40 mg of Omeprazole daily, so I started studying about bypass and honestly, it seems like it might be the better choice for me. How can we discuss surgery options if the surgeon is not there?
      What happened at your first consult? Trying to get an idea of what to expect, or maybe I should say, what NOT to expect.

      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.
