Okay guys don't be mad at me. I'm at the 12-month mark of my surgery okay maybe just reaching 11. So far it's been great super smooth sailing, lost 105 lbs feeling great and working out. Does anyone ever get super massive stomach cramps? I don't get dizzy or throw up just really intense stomach cramps. I thought it might have been because I ate half a flour tortilla the other day that's when they started. However when I woke up this morning I was fine I was able to eat regularly again with no pain... that was until tonight I had a poke Bowl no rice Just Fish,avocado, edamame, seaweed salad and regular salad greens under that. So why do I feel like I'm dying again the tortilla passed through fine though it was a close call that taught me a lesson. But I've had sashimi since the surgery and been fine and again I didn't have ANY RICE or other pasta/bread bits? Was my sleeve just sensitive after the first bit? I guess it's liquid diet for the next few days but has anyone had this problem or problem specifically with poke? Im just wondering what gives since this seemed fine to eat before.

Edit: Also I have no Idea why this triple posted Im trying to delete the other two but it isn't letting me x.x;

Why would anyone be mad at you ? And hmm I'm not sure what could cause it but keep an eye on it and perhaps get it checked if it continues.

haha some might frown upon the eating of half a flour tortilla since breads rice and stuff (unless multigrain or wheat bread) is a no-no. Which is why the cramps today are such a surprise I didn't have any breads or rice. Just meat and veggies which is usually ok for me. I'm wondering if perhaps my stomach is just still sensitive from the previous mishap. Im keeping an eye on it and sticking to strictly liquids for the next few days. I might send an Email to my surgeon as well.

No idea what a poke bowl is, but was there dairy in either/both dishes?

My first guess would usually be lactose intolerance (which is super common post op bariatric surgery) or IBS (which is also super common in overweight individuals).

Though since your incidents were within 24 hours of each other its possible this was something acute instead (unless this isn't the first time you've had this issue)

Poke is like sashimi which is usually sushi grade raw fish. No dairy to speak of though my stomach has not had a problem with dairy thus far. However I'm thinking the problem today was spicy tuna and it still being flared up from the day before.

      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.
