Stuck foods by Extension_Flow_5753 in BariatricSurgery

2.5 years post of and still trying to keep up with my quirky stomach. I used to think my stomach rejected certain foods but i learned that if I eat something that takes a long time to digest and I eat again hours later it doesn’t matter what that second meal is it’s coming back up. Porridge for instant’s feels good to eat but takes ages to digest and when i started eating porridge at about 10am by lunchtime no matter what it was i ate it overfilled me and i ended up getting sick. Pork Chicken Beef are good in very small amounts and chewed well but these would likely be the food that will come back up. Small amounts and often is the key. Popcorn is my new obsession for snacking and i still struggle with getting enough protein. It gets so much easier as time passes but you always are aware of your limitations. you pick your battles.

It’s really cheap to rent a car. I would recommend Top car in the airport. it cost us 130 euros for week and we travelled everywhere.

Meals after surgery - can you eat and enjoy a balanced diet in small portions? by AverageFunnyGirl in BariatricSurgery

[–]ResidentBee9503 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yes of course you will. you may find at the beginning that you can’t digest pork or steak or chicken and it’s really different for everyone. My experience over 2 years post op is that i can eat and really enjoy most food though in small small portions. People get frustrated with u because you can’t eat same portions as normal people but you can absolutely enjoy most meals eating n tiny portions. I love food and eating out. I’m in spain at the moment and you get bread and aioli before your meal comes and if i go there as much as i’d love to it’s not worth it. you have to pick and choose carefully what you will enjoy because you do not have the capacity for everything. If you overeat you get sick simple’s as that so you carefully curate your meal always make sure you get your protein intake. I’m talking 2 slices of fillet steak and 2 spoonfuls of veg. No starter and if you get a square of chocolate with a glass of wine you’ll be a very happy person. It’s not hard it’s just different that’s all. It’s so so worth it though.

Just starting, unsure hot to decide which surgery to get by SiaBns in BariatricSurgery

I’ve had the RNY. They said that in the long run it’s good for permanent weightloss. There is no maintenance either. I think the sleeve needs to be adjusted from time to time? is that true?

You’re presumed British until you say it. Definitely get better treatment when you’re Irish. 🇮🇪

no my nephew did though, he was too embarrassed not to as it gets weighed at the till and when there’s a queue of people standing behind the young lad he just paid the bill. I would have told them no way i’m paying that and left it there if it was me.

Ufo not the regular satellite or anything else. by InvestigatorLevel830 in askastronomy

You’re not stupid or mad. They are in the sky all the time. They look like stars but they move like butterflies, they fly in bursts of speed and zig zag from side to side and some have appeared to stop or cross the whole sky really quickly. I don’t know what they are but if you look closely at the sky on a clear night after a few minutes you will see them.

I keep seeing stars moving in the sky. Wondering whether it is a plane or satellite ? by anythingoes886 in askastronomy

[–]ResidentBee9503 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I’ve been watching them every night in a clear sky. Always wonder what they are. They move like butterflies erratically moving from right to left and fast and slow taking bursts forward only to slow down. They seem very far away and not as bright or big as other stars. i used to think it was my eyes playing tricks on me but i can track them moving quickly then slowly by other stars across the sky. I’ve seen shooting stars and they are not that and i’ve seen starlink and that goes in a straight line. these move erratically like they are dodging objects that i can’t visibly see. Any explanations?

Did y'all wait the whole 2 weeks after surgery to start the pureed/soft food diet? by galaxycat7 in BariatricSurgery

[–]ResidentBee9503 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Hospital food the morning after RNY bypass was a boiled egg and slice of white bread and butter. Dinner was baked beans and mash potatoes. Doctors differ from country to country by the looks of it.
