That happens if I eat too fast or too much. Slow way down. :-)

It has happened, plus I started yawning continuously like I couldn't get enough air. I think it was from eating too fast too.

How long after you eat did you have them? Could be dumping syndrome. Slow down your eating, make sure you are waiting a full minute to two minutes between bites.

For me, right away, with light walking. I am going to wait 4 weeks out to do any strength training.

I walked the day I got out of the hospital. Not far, but often. Then, after about four or five weeks I picked up the distance and pace. I spoke to my doc about doing the shake weight but was told to be VERY CAREFUL as any lifting before the six-eight weeks is up can cause hernea. So, I would say if you do anything, do light activity with no lifting. The more you move the faster you heal as well. Good luck!!!!

congratulations !! I got sleeved on 9/19/12, looking forward to the new me :-)

that's great, keep up the good work,. had my surgery on 9/19/12 and ever since then I've been up and down with energy, was having sleep problems but that is getting better (thank god).
Feeling hungry though, hopefully it's only PMS bc i should be getting my period in a week or before :-(

Hang in there! I have complete faith it WILL get better!!!
I got some great advice while struggling with my hunger so I will share it with you, If your going to cheat, try and cheat on the healthy side! How did the pizza toppings and cheese burger set in your tummy? Was it heavy? Did the grease bother you?

Casein Protein? It's slow release. Also, during PMS your body needs extra calories (I read this in Willpower: Rediscovering the Greatest Strength)
As much as possible I would try to take everything in stride. Use a different type protein. They're supposed to stick with you longer; or are you still on clear liquids?
Slipping and sliding and getting back on track is going to be part of the journey, I guess. If you will accept that you are not superhuman and that being forgiving to yourself is going to be important, maybe you could shift your mental effort into self-forgiveness. I think that would be more productive than feeling terrible.
I'm not speaking from experience so possibly none of this will help. I haven't been to my cycle yet. But do be kind to yourself. About that part, I am sure.

Hi Anayoritz, I had my surgery on the 19th and I am starving but I also know that if you eat crazy stuff you may start dumping and boy I have heard some horror stories. I recommend asking your doctor move you up to cream soup. I am going to be totally honest with you. I miss chewing so much and crunchy stuff that I dream about it. But I also know that food is something I will have to learn to do differently.

Its good you realized it was just PMS and it will pass. Four days after surgery I started getting the same thing. I actually havent been able to gauge how this sleeve will work for me because Im so rediculously hungry all the time. It really sucks. If you have had your sleeve for a bit I assume things will go back to how it was before! Hang in there!

Depending on what the reasons are, you can try and adjust your position with pillows, prop your legs up with pillows while raising them up on the recliner. I sleep with either a fan in the window, the ceiling fan, or a big fan on the floor blowing either on me or away from me...any one or a combination, to help me sleep. If I am hungry and cannot sleep, I eat something...even though it's late...getting my protein is the most important thing I have to do...same for you. Perhaps a nice shower, some lotion on your skin, comfy socks, and a hot chocolate...while sitting in front of the tv watching something you enjoy until you fall asleep will help. Try different things until you feel comfy...that should help.

I'm having the same trouble. Having a terrible time sleeping at night which makes for a terrible time staying awake during the day ! Pre-surgery, I was a great sleeper, so I'm wondering what is causing this.

I had a wine Spritzer about 2 months out, and it wasn't a problem. I am not a big drinker to begin with,so I really just took about 5 sips and was done.

good luck in your new journey, i had same horrible night of the surgery 9/19/12, but now I'm almost 2 weeks post surgery and feeling great, in the mornings i have all the energy but starting at 8pm im exhausted and need to sleep, the only bad thing about sleeping early is that i wake up too early 5am sometimes earlier and can't sleep afterwards :-/
again stay focused and good luck on your new you !!!

My surgeon / NUT recommends waiting a year. Whatever you decide, keep in mind that you will feel tipsy quicker and then feel sober quicker, but your blood alcohol level will remain elevated. So be sure to have a driver, even if you feel fine, because if you get pulled over and do a breathalizer, you may be illegal. Be safe!

My nutritionist recommended never drinking alcohol again. But this is not realistic. Moderation is key.

you should be able to handle one glass!! check with your surgeon's office to be on the safe side

I did, it is a sleeve sin I guess, but I am not a perfect person. I have been having wine since two weeks out. It goes down and stays down perfectly(for me). Happy early birthday!

Yeah!! Now on to your new life. I know you'll you wonderful.

im going next wed. for my sleeve, hope the time goes quick for you !!

4 months post op . it was just a beer. no real adverse reaction at all.

That's great congratulations! If you don't mind me asking what insurance are you with and what's the process? I'm currently pregnant but after my pregnancy I'm very much needed this surgery! I'm 5'3 and weight 245 but I'm a but nervous, but I know it will be great!
