i am 5 months post op- and i would say i get the normal full feeling unless i REALLY over eat then the pain hits about an hour after.. but usually i get just a "full feeling"

I can relate also. i will be 5 months post op next friday- and am down 58 lbs so far! i have had a couple throwing up sessions myself. I am still training myself to slow down with the eating, that has been taking some getting use to. I am now at the point that i am happy that i had this surgery, the first 3 months were tough for me, as it was a huge mind game that i needed to learn but with time it gets easier and life gets so much funner as you start to loose weight and gain energy! i can also agree that since the surgery i sleep so much better! i love sleeping and before i seemed to be more of a light sleeper and when woken up i couldnt go back to sleep, well now if i am woken up I can fall right back to sleep! yaay I love reading posts like this because i love when i can releate to someone else who went through what i did and understands. good luck to everyone out there planning on having the surgery! in the long run it was a good decision on my part, and i am happy i did it!

Thank you everyone! Yeah it seems everyone agrees its the acid. But i never thought acid could hurt sooooo bad... I did take acid reducers but have been trying to slowly stop per my surgeons req. so now i only take them if needed..

i am with you 100%- am am 4 1/2 months out and really dont know what to eat anymore either. my life originally was just chicken breast and protein drinks all day. unlike some i do have the urge to eat, i dont know why this is because i dont eat a lot but i feel at times that i should not be wanting food as i do. i eat a lot of fruit which i know have a lot of sugar but it is just so refreshing. i always look at the "the world according to eggface" blog, she does have some cool things on there. i keep trying to make my diet healthy but also as normal as possible, as i am a mother of 4 children, and really hard to always eat things that are so differn then the family! i love reading everyones advice totally helps me out also as a fellow 4 month post op sleever!

Good Afternoon everyone, i had my sleeve done on April 27th. I started at 245 and now am down to 192 (53 lbs down) i have had two really bad "episodes" and really cannot diagnose what they are from. The first time i had one i knew i over ate, the 2nd time i had one i didnt over eat. But the feeling is a AWFUL pressure in my chest (or at least if feels like thats where it is) i have talked to people and am told its the acid, but when i have these episodes it starts mild and builds to be unbarable- then i vomit and i seem to be back to normal. I know the bypass has "dumping" but from what i know the sleeve doesnt, has anyone else ever felt this??? Also i seem to do okay with habits and maintaining a healthy lifestyle of eating, except when that time of the month hits- then i feel like i am always hungry. for the ladies on here please tell me what you do to get past this time... lastly i have not been working out since surgery- yes i know I should and i plan on getting on track to work out but for those of you that have had the surgery awhile ago can you tell me how the whole working out effects the long term results?? (besides the sagginess) thanks for any feedback you all can provide!

I totally can relate! Surgery on 4/27 started my stall at 3 weeks and now i am about the 7 week mark and have not lost a lb!!!!! So dissapointing but oh well....

I am 7 weeks post op and have been sitting at 215 for 3 weeks now.. I totally feel your pain, it is soo stressfull not to see the scale move. I dont weigh myself everyday so when i do weigh my self weekly I guess i assume it will move, and it hasnt.. I keep hoping it will move the next week... Good luck to you

Day of surgery i weighed in at 238 today ( and for the last 3 weeks) i weighed in at 215 ...so that would be 23 lbs

OMG i am getting so dicouraged!!! My stall is still continuing, and its almost 3 weeks now..... What can the reason be??? I am almost 7 weeks post op. i dont drink protein shakes but do eat tons of chicken. I tracked my calories yesterday and seemed to have gotten about 600calories in plus about 60gr of protein so what else do u think i am doing wrong?

So i am ending my 5th week Post op and I have been stuck at 217 for about 2 weeks now.. i am so bummed and just wanted to share with you... I cannot wait for this little bump to go down so that my weight loss can continue...

yes that is what i have read, and i finally asked my surgeon what size he used and he said 34 french... well now i wanna see the photo that compares it to the size of a pen or marker or highlighter lol....

I remember seeing someone post a picture of the Boogie (hopefully i spelled this right) sizes used when doing the sleeve but I can't seem to find that picture. Does anyone have a picture of the differnt sizes ??

Sorry for the miss spelled words i am using my phone lol... It does have 15g of protein but most protein shakes list whey protein or soy protein in the ingredients list but i dont see that so im juat curious if anyone know what kind of protein it has and if that kind of protein is a good kind...

Thank you! I will check out the site.. But did u also see the actual ingredients, its doesnt have any "peotein" listed so how do we know it meets the criteria?? I am just hopeing its not tooo good to be true lol

There may already be a thread regarding this Protein powder but i couldnt find one so I was curious if anyone has tried the Click Protein Powder (Mocha) and if so have you had any information from your surgeon or NUT regarding it? I tried it for the first time today and absolutly LOVED it, but then started to review the ingrediants and saw that it has Caffeen in it and didnt see any specific mention of Protein. Has anyone else noticed this and what can you share with me? Is this one a good one to drink???
