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!

      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.
