Hi Kary I was sleeved June 25 so far up to two days ago I was feeling great! But all of the sudden my incisions are hurting and having some heart burns :-( not able to even drink my shake that Zi love. I guess its part of the game I'm in Katy and have met another girl ghat lives on the South side. I told her we should get together when ever we can eat solids so we can feel some what normal when eating out and not being looked at like we are crazy for eating so little... Lol good luck and hauler if you need us

That's all I drink, it has 170 Cal 25g Protein 2g Sugar 6g of Carbs. I drink the chocolate or strawberry. I love them and to me they taste yummy. I showed it to my Surgeon and he said it was perfect!!!! I have 2 a day and have more than 1/2 my protein intake the rest I do with meals.

Hi I was sleeved on June 25 and very thankful for not having any complications. I have lost 20lbs since surgery date and lots of inches. I went back to work yesterday and NO ONE noticed my weight loss so it was a bit disappointing :-( but Im doing this for me and as long as I know Im shrinking its all good. Im eating mushy/soft foods but have stayed with tuna fish and chicken soup, protein shakes are my life, yogurt, and string cheese. I have tried scramble and boiled eggs but for some reason it doesnt go down well. I vomited once due to the egg. I drank a sip of water to wash it down but instead it came back up. Im walking/dancing 30-45min every other day it feels great! I no longer get anxious if I dont see the scale going down. I say to myself " you didnt get overweight overnight, so how can you expect to lose the weight overnight"? Its a new beginning another chance to do it right! Good luck my fellow Sleevers may the lord gives us the strength we need to reach our goals! P.S I take chewable vitamins from GNC pretty good as well as their ready to drink lean protein shakes 170 Cal 25g of protein 2g of Sugar 6g of Carbs

Hi Jessicann I pushed myself today, because like you I have been getting my water in and protein shakes as well. Today I had a boiled egg and thought I could wash it down with a sip of water.... Wow big mistake part of the egg and water came back up :-( so moral of the story is don't push it just eat your portions and lets be thankful we haven't had problems like I've read people have. :-) Good luck

Hi, I havent had acid reflux or anything. I eat everything well. But I will check out the thread and see if its normal. Before I had the sleeve I wouldnt eat Breakfast because if I did then I was hungry ALL DAY... My trainer at that time said that it was because I had jump started my metabolism and its processing everything quickly.. Thank you guys for your comments wish y'all luck :-)

Hello, I'm 3 weeks post op in puree/soft foods stage My doctor told me to eat 5-6 meals a day,but since I can't eat alot on each meal I decided to eat every 2hrs and fluids in between. Now I feel hungry.! Its not head hunger or food attachment syndrome because I never had that prior to surgery. My little stomach growls... Lol Does anyone feel this? Is it because my metabolism finally started working? Would like to hear from anyone that has felt the same

Yeah I know its not head hunger or thirst because my stomach growls. I dont think of food or crave anything in particular... I was at a stall for not eating enough but since Tuesday I started eating every 2 hrs I've lost 3lbs in 3days so something is happening :-)

Hello I feel the same way,and totally agree with you. I had minced fish 1 week post op and my tummy took it well. I was sleeved 6/25 Thank god I haven't had any problems or pain. My incisions are healed and Im walking 1-2miles a day. I told my doctor I feel to normal, he said I was a very good patient :-) . He didn't want me to eat solids just yet to avoid the risk of stretching the sleeve early on. So he put me on liquid/soft foods for another 2 weeks. But my body handles a but mire solid foods :-) Keep up the good work, i hope to be 50lbs smaller in 3months :-)

Hello I have been wondering about this card. I had a friend who did the bypass and she had one of this cards. I wondered if we sleevers could get one or we just had to order from the kids meal? is this card labeled by your surgeon practice? What dies it say exactly? Thanks

I went to my 2 week follow up today and was ok'ed for puree foods ( 2 wks) , however I was reprimanded because I was very low on my calorie intake which was 340 a day So my Doc said my body is in starvation mode and will not release any fat at all. He has me now at 600-800 good calories 80g of protein and 15g of carbs no sugar. Oh I have to eat 5-6 xs a day thats not counting protein shakes and water intake..... Over all I was harming myself :-( but he said I can turn it around and reach my goal! Now can some one tell me how to get 600 calories in please because I dont know how....its so weird before I could eat a piece of cheese cake or a burger and there was my 600 calories :-) please HELP.....!

Its been 3 days post op and no BM yet is it normal? How long after? Help!

Hi Kami63 I have noticed that we are loosing about the same rate. Thats awesome!!!! Are you eating puree foods already? My doc told me 2 weeks full liquids before going into puree :-( still need 5 more days HW 263 Preop 263 SW 257 9 days post op - 246.4 I.m also 5"5 Good luck to all of us :-)

Thanks for answering my question before I even asked... :-) I googled it and it explained alot of why we have that. I have noticed my breath has changed and my mouth tastes like metal kinda eeewwww I brush my teeth 3-4 xs a day

Hello Im not sure what I understand for " doesn't set well" what do you feel exactly? So far I have not vomited anything :-) so Im happy

I wake up at 7 am and go to bed at 10pm so I do about 4oz of water every hour....I know its TMI but my Doc told me to get my urine as pale as possible thats sign of good hydration. :-) so far mine is almost transparent

Since our conversation I was able to go naturally. Thank god it was nit painful at all!!!! Have been going once a day very little amount but its something. Im just a week post op and in full liquids still so not much I can ask for... Right? Thanks for your advice
