I am 7 weeks out from surgery and one of my incision sites it really hurting. There is a marble size lump under the skin and it tends to hurt more when I bend over or move around too much. Any thoughts? Next, I have not lost anything for the past two weeks... How long has your plateaus lasted?

Thanks! I made a huge effort to be educated about this whole experience. Now, being post-op almost 6 weeks, it's like I'm starting new!

What are slider foods?

OK... So I have found something strange... I can eat about the same amount of carbs at one time as I did prior to surgery but only about 1/4 of the protein. What gives? I thought my sleeve was supposed to keep me from over-eating. I'm almost 6 weeks out and can eat pretty much anything. Has anyone experienced this?

I can totally relate! Prior to surgery there were two different forms of physical hunger "pains' for me; the weak, light-headed, and nausea inducing feeling and the stomach growling feeling. Prior to surgery, if I ate when my stomach was rolling and growling, it would make the growling stop with was a relief. Now... It doesn't matter what or how much I eat, my stomach is always growling. I'm starting to agree with the whole acidy stomach idea. I'm going to try the gaviscon and see what happens!

I have been eating solid protein and less the shakes. Maybe I need to up the Protein shake intake?

I'm not as far out as you but I definately notice that if I sit for extended periods of time, my stomach muscles get very sore. To the point that I have to hunch over a little and take a few minutes to stand up straight.

Hi all! I'm new to this forum, so bare with me! I had my surgery on 6/20/11 and ever since I woke up from the anesthesia, I've been dealing with a constant grumbly seemingly hungry stomach! I understand that my stomach has changed and it's probably normal to be more aware of it's movement but, I feel like I need to eat all the time!!! Has anyone else noticed this? And what happened to the "not feeling hungry due to the lack of stomach hormone" situation? Help!
