And am I lactose intolerant? Don't think So but I have thrown up Greek yogurt and I do cottage every time I have tried it, and I used to eat it all the time pre-surgery,.💦

I feel like I've developed lactose intolerance, too! Never had an issue before, but very creamy things lead to immediate rejection these days. It's all very strange, but I suspect it will be an evolving situation. :372_cheese:

Well 39 days since September 5th, go look on September 2018 Surgeries and Success and see how I am going. More twists and turns than a soap opera. Wonder if I could get on Netflix with Frustr8#s Follies? Oh well, it was just a thought!

Eating alas is the issue, I tried an one-inch chunk of ripe 🍌 Wednesday, a few minutes,to get it in and a hour-and- half urping, burping and vomiting. Not worth it, I am so tired of it all, strained,soups, broths, Protein skakes, Water and no calorie drinks.And my taste buds aren't the same either. When. I was shopping at Wal-Mart I mentioned to my Son I used to buy Lipton Diet citrus green tea at lunchtime, we bought some and I cannot abide the stuff now. Pitched one,in the trash today.
So I get discouraged, all the others that were our surgery twins are far,far ahead. I told,Tomkitten at first I wanted steak, either peas and new potatoes and pearl onion. Now what I would like, teriyaki fried tofu. Take my tofu, drain and dry it off and then saute it in Kikkomon soy sauce , mmaybe throw in some finely sliced green onion and sliced mushrooms, but just the tofu and teriyaki sauce would please me. And what I couldn't eat right away. I can store in my Rubbermaid orTupperware.
And am I lactose intolerant? Don't think So but I have thrown up Greek yogurt and I do cottage every time I have tried it, and I used to eat it all the time pre-surgery,.💦

I'm so sorry it's this bad for you. I think with time you'll be able to have of these foods again. Thankfully I haven't experienced the "dumping" nor vomiting. I try different foods including some of my favorites and haven't had any issues yet. I have noticed the chills though. How are you with that? I get cold very easily.

Oh I will not give up hope, Dr Needleman and his partner Dr Noria wh9 I met yesterday when she did my EGJ, are very smart physicians and surgeons. I'm sure I am not the first to have this problem. My Grandma Adah, may she rest in peace, had a saying. The Good Lord never made an itch he didn't make a scratcher to fit it. Translation: There is an answer for everything, sometimes you,got to think a while but there is always an answer. I am anxious for it,to manifest itself.😙☺😃

And still slogging through the Stricture Wars and it is mid- November. Beginning to think I am some sort,of weird biweekly Friday date for Endoscopy/Hepatology. Nurses recognize me , Dr Noria refers to me by name, not number, last Friday she even helped PUSH my bed to the procedure area, maybe because I was LAST of the Day? And the receptionist greets me with" Hi again! Did you have a good trip down from Mount Vernon?" We'll I would, had your city fathers not a continuing mile of asphalt needed to remain unbroken! I'm sure I saw Robin Hood's barn 3 times and perhaps Hansel and Gretel's. house. You begin to wonder if you're driving or planning to join a game of Dodge'Em.

      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.
