You had wine at 6 weeks out, didn't it hurt your tummy?

Oct 18th was my surgery day, I lost 20 pounds the first 4 weeks and nothing since then, I workout with weights and do cardio everyday and eat right, drink tons of water but I havent lost a pound since. It's really pissen me off, even my pants are still a little tight still, I am really frustrated!!! I feel like I'm in the same pattern like I was before I had surgery, the same old cycle workout eat right lose nothing. Yes I am getting my protein in between 80-100 a day.

I was to scared to eat anything off plan for fear of getting a leak and dying, that is how I coped. I know its hard but just think if you eat something you shouldn't and something bad happens you will so regret it. That was always in the back of my mind.

Like Felty said, walkiing, walking and more walking. Use your painkillers they help you to sleep.

Nice 58 pounds, congrats!!! I unfortunately have full hunger, NOT head hunger, and at only 3 weeks out I could eat a full grown cow......ummm steak, I wish I was allowed solid foods

One word, INSECURE!

I think I have a sleeve of steel because everything I eat so far I have had no problems. I like red meat I hope when I get to that stage, which is in 7 days, I won't have a problem.

My doc said no meat until stage 3, then it has to be soft and moist.

I'm only 3 weeks out and I have had melted cheese this whole week with no problems whatsoever. I also have a regular BM every morning right before the gym.

I was sleeved 10/18, and I am hungry all the freakin time! I am only down 15 and am still in the same clothes which are still tight. I haven't had a problem getting fluids in or my Protein shakes, but I do eat cheese and I dont think I should. I am a cheesaholic, it sits in my stomach nice along with anything else I eat. I have had no problems with anything which really kinda sucks to be honest. I wanted that, I don't like food anymore feeling, but never got it. Everyone is losing weight like crazy, and me, well I'm sitting at the same weight for a few days now. I know I'm not supposed to compare myself to everyone else, but it still gets upsetting when you read everyone else's weightloss. I'm still on full liquids, but have been eating pureed egg salad and pureed ham or turkey, I thought maybe that would help with weightloss, but nothin! I dont know, what gives!?

I have my husband hide all candy, but I am only 2 weeks out so I can't even think about eating any, I'm scared to think what would happen.

Okay, I have been reading all these posts about how people aren't hungry and tastes have changed and you just don't want to eat. Well, my tastes have stayed the same, I'm getting all my liquid in, really I am, I just want to know when it is that I won't want food anymore. I feel like I haven't even had surgery, if I didn't have incisions on my stomach I would think I'm still the same person as before surgery. I also take my ppi everyday, so its not thirst nor is it lack of ppi, so what gives?

I'm 9 days post op and I drink my liquids like before surgery. I also drink my shake with a straw with no problems whatsoever! Everyone is very different though.

I take Trader Joe's mutivitamin with minerals and its chewable. I also take a sublingual B12. I have been taking mine since day 2 when I was cleared to take vitamins. I feel fantastic and I'm day 9 post op.

Sleeved 10/18 here, I feel great. I can drink like I used to, and I have no problem eating pureed stuff. I had chili today with melted reduced fat cheese and a dollop of FF greek yogurt, it was sooo delish! I have so much energy, I cant wait to go back to work on Monday and start living again.. This certainly is the best thing I have ever done in my life!!!

I am feeling the same way, I go to pureed foods tomorrow after my first post of appt. which is tomorrow. I cant wait, I havent had any problems with hot or cold or protein shakes. I just want real food. My doctor is so strict, I had to call and ask the NUT if I could start the protein shakes, for some reason they dont allow them the first week. I am craving substance in my mouth something to chew!

LOL...you have awesome willpower, I have weighed myself everyday since I got home from the hospital....

Yes, I do take an antacid in the morning and even after I take it I'm still hungry. I'm going to call my doc and see whats up. Maybe he will let me go to shakes or pudding. Or maybe the antacid isnt strong enough. I'll call him and see. Thank you for your help.

I am soo HUNGRY!!!, I am 5 days post op and this growling in my stomach feels like real hunger to me. What exactly is the difference between HEAD hunger and REAL hunger? I have been reading everywhere and cant really find the definition. I am not allowed to go to full liquids till Friday, I need substance or I'm gonna cry.! I feel lightheaded and weak. Sorry for the rant.

I'm having the same issue. I feel your pain. I am not drinking alot of liquids either, everytime I do I get horrible gas pains, and cramping. I hope you feel bettter GeauxForIt, I keep reading that it gets better relatively fast.

Gig, I'm having the same problem, everytime I sip anything it hurts soooo bad. Warm decaf tea feels alot better, but still hurts. I hope it goes away soon. I hope you feel better with this to, if I didnt have this pain everything would be great. Molly

Thank you to all of you for your help, I cant wait to feel better, my stomach cramps from drinking, now I understand why people get dehydrated, it hurts to sip, sip,sip, and I'm so tired I barely feel like walking. BUT, I do do both. Thanks everyone!!!

Trying to drink decaf tea, warm luquids feel better, cold liquids hurt. the nurse took my blood and said I was low on potassium so they geve me an iv for that.
