My Sleeve is a Diva!

I am slowly finding out that my lovely new sleeve is a total diva.  Last night I took 2 bites of greek yogurt and she was like - Oh no you didn't!  So away went the yogurt and out came the cold cuts that miss thing prefered.  Vitamins are a no go with Little Miss Thing - chewables come right back up - liquid = bloating, gas, and discomfort all day.  So now ordering some liqu-gel vitamins.

Really looking forward to progressing to "real" food - I think the diva will love denser protein - she totally rejects the more liquidy items and craves more solid proteins - weird!  Like all great diva's, I can drink like a fish (ok - its G2 or Powerade or 4C Totally light), so that is at least working out well!

I am a totally laid back person - so I am finding it HYSTERICAL that i have Miss Thing in me now.  Now I just need to come up with a Diva Name fitting for such a *****y sleeve!  Any suggestions?

You, my dear Lucy, have a way with words!  You have perfectly described the post-sleeve tummy!

Loved your post!

It's good to know that I'm not the only one with a Diva inside me!

Mine's not a diva, just fussy. First time it started with all that noise and fuss I was reminded of Winnie the Pooh and "I've got a rumbly in my tumbly". So my sleeve became Rumbly and for some reason has come to be referred to as "he" even though I'm a she. No idea why, but no use fighting the inevitable.

Divas....hmmm....I'm too old. All mine are the wrong generation. Aretha? Madonna? Cher? I dunno.

LOL - it's funny you say he - cause when I do my sleeve's voice (ok - I'm a total weirdo, I know, but when my family asks why I don't want to eat what I just fixed, I gotta answer - so I do it in my sleeve's voice), it comes out more like a gay man - kinda like the guy who took the Armoir from Kramer in Sienfeld if you are at all familiar!

Ok - the more I type, the crazier I sound - I'll blame it on the sleeve - but truth is I've always been silly!

Aretha - that could work though!

Yes, mine is noisy too!!  ohmygosh, if I eat, then am in a quiet room, I feel like the rumbles are a 9 on the richter scale. 

So far, mine is pretty tolerant as far as what I eat.  In the almost 10 weeks I've had a sleeve, I've had two *episodes*.  One was waking up, drinking crystal light, no food, then taking my vitamins.  I threw up.  Shocked me.  The other was I had some chicken wings, I just ate the inside, not the crunchy skin, but I either ate them too fast, or ate too much, because I got the slimeys.  YUCK.  Tons and tons of saliva that just kept coming, and all I could do was spit it out.  It wasn't throwing up, but there was *something* going on!  

I'm also lucky in that, like many, I get a clear "you're DONE" when my stomach's had enough.  It doesn't matter if *I* haven't had enough yet!  It's a full-stop feeling and I have learned that no matter how much I want that "one more bite" -- I do NOT want that one more bite :)    Or else I have that "ate too much at Thanksgiving" feeling, even if I only had an ounce to eat.   I am getting SUCH a kick out of this whole thing!

It is a crazy ride - isn't it!  I think mine has the stop sign too - I've felt it - once took one more bite and got Thanksgiving, next time stopped and was satisfied for several hours.

Mine doesn't so much make noise - it's just a feeling - like You want me to eat THAT?  I don't think so!  Then it's get something that will make sleevie happy!

Hope I don't ever get the slimeys - they sound aweful!

You're lucky you don't get the noise - sometimes you can hear them across the room. They provide hours of entertainment for my teenage daugther, but are a tad embarrasing at work. For some reason they're at their worst with my pills/supplements, which I always take with a protein drink because they only time my sleeve EVER acted like a diva was when I tried to take pills on an empty stomach.

Like you, I've decided to take it with a sense of humor and honestly I've found Rumbly's little idiosyncratic ways to be great fun. It helps that I've had a pretty easy time.
