Food (Sushi) is evillll!



Recommended Posts

---start of rant---

Well, after my 2nd fill, I have had some food stuck, and I have also slimed, but nothing could prepare me for my first post-band experience with sushi.

I looooove sushi, and have been craving it since 1 week before I got my 2nd fill. I knew I would probably have problems with it, but I could no longer resist...

I bought a very small portion of the smallest, tiniest rolls that I could find. I cut them in half and I took a small bite of that and chewed until there was nothing left to chew.

unfortunately I kept on eating at the same pace, and was glad to find that it was going down...or so I though!

Until suddenly I started feeling that darned pressure in my chest, and then the saliva started coming...Oh great I though...I am stuck!

but NO, this time it was worst! I thought I was going to die! Luckily I was very close to the washroom and I was alone. I barely made it...it came out like a launched missile!

You'd think I would have learned my lesson then. But NO! 15 minutes later I was back for another fight. Thinking maybe just the raw fish without the sticky rice. It was my last hope! Not sushi! I couldn't give it up!

Well, sure enought...another missile! OKay that is it for me...no more eating today, and no more sushi ever!

what bugs me is that I was going around today feeling like I had to grieve the sushi...How ridiculous is that!! I can't belive how much power this darn food has over us...it's worst than the cigarettes used to be! I mean I threw up...and took a 15 minute break, and tried again, failed again and felt sad about it!! For heaven's sake what is wrong with me!! I am stronger than this!

This is very timely for me. Tonight I decided to try one of my all-time favourites ... rollmop herring. I picked a big, fat one and seemed to be getting on with it. I chewed (sort of) and it didn't hurt at all, something I really appreciated as ever since my 2nd fill 2 weeks ago, I have struggled with everything. Anyway, get to the end of the herring and I was struck with the worst golfball pain I have experienced so far. :thumbup:

Unfortunately, it wouldn't come up, so I walked on the treadmill for 15mins, which seemed to help.

About an hour or so later, I fancied something else. I ate 2 spicy poppadoms. Oh boy - the pain!

That's it. I'm giving up for today. Getting a small unfill tomorrow as this is really getting on my tit-end now.

well I have been reading so many people can't eat shrimp! I know this is sushi related.. I have no trouble at all. I think the rice is the problem... If I eat just a little rice then it's on!!!!! you know what i mean! I just chew the shrimp very slow and take my time. BUT my PA at the doctors office told me we all react diffrent to diffrent foods... LIKE bread even multi grain KILLS ME! and my son can eat it with no problem! soooooo I guess it all a learning thing!

        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!

      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.

        Am feeling this right now. My surgery date is 4/1. Sign the consent tomorrow. I feel like I overloaded myself with too much info, too many opinions. Got to the point where I was wondering if I should do this. Then I thought of my reasons for taking this step and that settled my nerves. Still get moments of doubt but am striving forward. Am just going to follow my book from the surgeon. Joined this because I was told by my dietician that I should do this for support
