  1. I never feel hungry I am on my 4th week and still can barely eat. Will this get better? I never feel full I just all of a sudden feel sick.... Hmmmm
  2. I am 4 weeks still barely eating but trying to do better. I noticed this past weekend I am soooooo lazy. Just barely any energy. What can I do?
  3. I am 3 weeks still barely eating but trying to do better. I noticed this past weekend I am soooooo lazy. Just barely any energy. What can I do?
  4. I too barely consume anything. I am on day 21 and trying to eat some chicken for the first time right now and my stomach is more settled with this than the shakes. I have only been getting in maybe 300 to 400 a day( mAybe). I don't know what else to do... I just get nauseous on everything it seems.
  5. Thank you for your encouraging words.
  6. I was a band to sleeve. I started at a 30 BMi with the sleeve. I too am losing so slow. Maybe 10 lbs in 20 days. The scale has not moved in over a week. I just pray that it starts back up. Maybe when I can eat more it will jump start. I maybe get 400 calories a day now. Been very hard for me
  7. I am 3 weeks out as well. I am just now getting less and less gas pains in my shoulder and yes I do still get sore. Especially when I sneeze
  8. It's like the flu for maybe 20 minutes. It's awful
  9. I too was told that my symptoms were dumping symptoms. I was a band to sleeve patient. I am 18 days out and it has gotten better. I am however still nauseous daily. I am in bed right now because I drank a protein shake with more milk this time and can barely function due to nausea. I notice the evening really give me a hard time.
  10. I too was banded in 07 in Mexico. Got sleeved with barely a 30 BMi. I am 15 days out and have only lost around 9 lbs but I can't eat. I am nauseous all the time. They said it will get better and once I eat more I will lose more which is true. I too was scared of losing too much weight as well. I'm shooting for 110 at my lowest. I am only 5'1 " so that is very healthy for me. How about you?
  11. 15 days out and yes every morning. It hurts big time. Shooting pain then goes away.
  12. It feels like a huge chore for me. One main reason is just about anything I eat makes me nauseous. I could care less to eat again. Ideas a band to sleeve revision. I drink with no problem but the doctors say it sounds like I Am experiencing dumping. Anyone else have problem at the beginning? I need hope... Will it get better??
  13. Thank you. Went today for a follow up. She said 1 out of 6 patients experience dumping and what I am describing sounds like that. They switched me to zofran so that I can take that for nausea. She said it WILL get better and that I am doing everything exactly right. We shall seeeee I guess. Just ready to feel better
  14. 13 days ago. It's awful I just get to feeling miserable. I was a band to sleeve. Started at 162 now I'm at 150 and I'm afraid I may be 90 lbs by the time I eat something lol. I pray it doesn't last long
  15. Any time I try to eat full liquids I feel like I have the stomach flu. So nauseous and ugh feeling. This normal?
  16. So I have been doing okay do far with the new sleeve. I have been so nauseous these past two days anytime I put ANYTHING in my mouth. I am on day 2 of full liquids but rather stay on clear from now on. What can I do? I had a revision to sleeve started at 162 now I am 150. I just want to feel settled in my tummy. Anyone have this prob after??
  17. I thought full liquids meant only cream type stuff. Im so nauseous lately that nothing feels right. Did you have this problem? I am 12 days out. I just want to feel like I can eat something. Took my liquid vitamins yesterday and was throwing up and dry heaving after. That's new!!
  18. My nut haha you are too funny. Thank you all for the suggestions!
  19. Thank you all. I don't mind my shakes it's just that they are so much sometimes and trying to get them in is a pain. I started full liquids today and man oh man. I was just wishing I could take a shot of 25g protein and get it over with, I will check out the CVS ones. Thank you all again
  20. I am sick of all these shakes haha... Do they make drinking shots that you can take?
  21. Full liquids started yesterday for me but I was terrified and not hungry so I started them today. I had 1/4 c cream of chicken soup and now 1/2 c maybe of broccoli cheese jalapeño soup. It's all blended very well. I jut have to force myself to eat. Been having stomach spasms for days an little nauseous so it's a bit hard and not wanting to eat. Hope this gets better!!
  22. Mine was in Dallas. He is very very good.
