I was bad and have scared myself

[Andreas decision]

I was making dinner for my family and for a moment completely forgot about my new tummy. I ate a small piece of ham steak and swallowed. Then I was like omg what did you do. I'm 27 days out, is this dangerous?

Hi Andrea, If it settled ok in your stomach you should be fine. I was sleeved the same day as you i would like to compare our progress if you don't mind shareing? What has your weight lose been since your surgery?

[Andreas decision]

No I don't mind at all. I as sleeved on the 21st and have lost 28 lbs so far. That was all after surgery because my before stomach refused just liquids lol. At first I had rough time and was back in the hospital for dehydration and I vomiting a little blood. All has been good since then. I had to redo puree and I can eat one whole mushed egg w mustard and low fat mayo.

Ham Steak isn't exactly soft.... I'm assuming that hurt a little bit? I think that if you feel ok, you probably are. But you don't want anything to get lodged in there, you're probaly still a little swollen.

Congrats on your weight loss, keep up the good work!

Wow...thats great I have only lost about 19 and I feel somehow im not doing somthing right. I see everyones progress and mine just seems to be going some much more slow. Im also on pureed and I eat cheese, a few sponns of mashed potato and also can eat a hard boiled egg just not the whole thing at once or I feel super stuffed!

[Andreas decision]

Well itbwas for the hubby and kids and I as cooking like I use to alot of butter oops. It seems to be down fine and it was soft actually. I need to be a little more careful. I was worried about a leak. That is my major fear.

I was 266 day of surgery
Now 238 237 241 it fluctuates throughout the day

I did that when I was working on emails the other day. I was typing and concentrating and I grabbed my water and took a HUGE gulp. Before my throat swallowed, I remembered and spewed it all over the blanket next to me. The dog looked at me funny but I figured better wash a blanket than hurt my stomach somehow with a big gush of water.

Jbosch don't get disappointed. Your weight was lower than mine and the less weight you have to lose the harder it is. Remember don't judge yourself by any one else's progress. How many meals are you having a day. I try for at least 4 to 5

[j.bosch0820]

Well, thats really good!! I started at 247 and now down to 228- 230...it does fluctuate! What have you beeneating in your puree stage?

[rylynn]

at 27 days out of my post op i was eating all foods no liquids or pureed foods i had ham or what ever..but i did keep a wtch on carbs and calories

[j.bosch0820]

Thanks, I guess your right...I have a half of a hard boiled egg in the morning, a small piece of cheese for snack then usually a few spoons of mash potato for lunch then probably another piece of cheese before dinner time which is probably a little bit of soup or more mash.

[Andreas decision]

Mashed egg, ricotta and mozzarella w spaghetti sauce and peanut butter plus my shakes. I'm going to try baked beans tom. Plus the ham lol

[Andreas decision]

Awesome. Now I'm not as scared

[Andreas decision]

I'd do more protein and less carbs and try doing your shakes for snack. I also forgot I do tuna w low fat mayo w olive oil
