I am also 4 years out but I have the opposite problem. I hate eating. I keep a bottle of water with me at all times. You may change after the surgery. I stress ate all the time before surgery.

I started taking my meds the day after surgery. I also developed pneumonia and gout so I have been on meds for that, as well. No problems so far and I am 16 days out. Pneumonia gone and gout just about completely gone. After reading posts on here I am guessing I got the sleeve of steel version. Nothing has made me sick or nauseous. But I do love the gummy vitamins ; )

I have a couple of friends that are between 9 and 11 months out and they both told me that they stay cold. I have always kept my air at home between 76-78. 78 during the day and 76-77 when getting dressed and putting on make up. I am always warmer then...maybe from drying my hair but now I find 78 kinda cool and comfortable when getting done up for the day. Saves my elec bill and I hate being sweaty. Win win

I am not much on sweet stuff so i take plain greek yogurt and add stuff like parmesan cheese and salt and pepper, dried ranch dressing, salsa verde, mix it in with chilli sauce and it makes a yummy protein supplement and tastes naughty like real sour cream.

I go for my post op appt. The 12th and that is on my list of questions. Probably doesn't weigh that much but I want to know how big was the section removed. I will let u know when i get the answer.

That should be 10 lbs

I have been camping for the last six days with no scale but i dropped 20 lbs before i left. Going home tomorrow and can't wait to see what the scale says : )

I was sleeved on the 23rd. This morning I had a tiny omelet and a few bites of banana yogurt and lunch was about a half dollar sized hamburger with pickle, a little lettuce and onion. Yummy and I am full and feel great. I know I am pushing it a little but my doc said the only way to know if I tolerate it is try it. So far I have never been nauseous or vomited. I started with greek yogurt with grated parmesan cheese and some dry ranch dressing. Sometimes i add some salsa verde and refried black beans (so good). I also found a canned chilli with only 7 grams of fat and 17 grams of protein. I can't eat enough to get all the protein but it is good with a teaspoon of plain greek yogurt which adds some protein as well. Don't know if this fits your tastes or how much you can tolerate but I hope it helps. Also check out eggface.com for good recipes and ideas.

I think it us fine to have a few bites of whatever you like. Some it is sweets and others hamburgers or whatever but keep experimenting to recreate that something into a healthy version. I like mostly healthy stuff but my weakness was portions. That can make anything unhealthy. I just had a hamburger about the size of a half dollar. I am full and happy. I do not feel deprived at all, now I wish I was able to have some radishes but too soon to try those yet. I have also found that greek yogurt is good in so many things and it tastes indulgent. Mix a little grated cheese ( I use parmesan) and some dried ranch dressing with some chicken if you are at that stage ( I have used baby food meats) and some pepper. I enjoy it. This is really good in the mushy food stage.

By day 6 or 7 i started greek yogurt with some sugar free jelly or just salted or ranch seasoning sprinkled on it. Yummy

The ability to apologize is a huge character strength. Not many people have that trait.

Also over fresh spinach or cooked cabbage is good. I am 12 days out and nothing has disagreed withe yet. Been mushing everything and have had some chicken, ground beef, and pork in small amounts and chewed to a mush. I love my sleeve. I do not feel like i am misding anything except a margarita...lol

I think you and your puppy are beautiful and I wish you the best. Take care of you.

Sometimes people are well intended but lose the message in their delivery. You can be nice and constructive. Probably more constructive in the kind approach. Just sayin.

Lots of opinions flying. You can make a lowfat low sugar milk shake and make it taste as good as one with fat and sugar. None of my business but try looking on eggface.com. Lots of good recipes and the girl that posts believes in enjoying what you eat. She is 3 yrs out and went from a size 28 to a size 4.

I was sleeved on Aug 23rd and left for a camping trip the 30th. All is great except i have developed an angry case of gout. Drugs willing i will be doing better soon. Surgery wise i feel back to normal.

Glad to hear you are feeling better. I know you are going to do great and be so happy with your new life.

I gained also post op but then 8 dsys out lost 10 lbs overnight. Ypur bodybis holding Fluid from the surgery. It will work don't worry.

I am 11 days post op and have been at a biker ralley for the last 3 days. I feel like i am back to normal except i have a bad case of gout. The doc put me on some meds so hoping they will kick in and then i can do some walking. Good luck to all.

I am hoping they will give me something. I know steroids will help and are easier on the stomach. But I would be willing to deal with diarrhea at this point. It feels like I broke my foot.

Fever gone and cough almost gone. I have lost 10lbs this week and now I have gout... been taking apple cider vinegar pills and cherry juice and about 50- 60 oz of water a day and still I have a huge right foot. If that would go away I would be great.

I am trying to lay around and relax. I will let you know when I get to the doctor hopefully this week.
