To all of my post sleevers, when do you start eating regular foods??? Healthy of course!!!

Thanks so much!!!! Me too!!!!

Thanks to EVERYONE who gave me their input on my post surgical issues!!!! I called my surgeon today cuz I just couldn't take it anymore.. And he automatically admitted me back into the hospital with a regular IV, nausea meds, and meds for the heartburn!!!!! I'm so glad I called!!!!!! Not too thrilled about being away from my girls, but they need a healthy mommy!!!!! I also wanted to give you guys my stats for anyone who needs some motivation!!!! Starting weight: 246 Date of surgery: 237 Current weight: 218 Can you believe it???? Soooo thrilled!!!!!!

I know we were experiencing the same symptoms.. Are you feeling any better??? Or does it get worse before it gets better????

Hello All, I've come to terms with the fact that even though my incisions are all healed, that my new stomach is obviously not!!! Still trying to get as much Fluid as I can down.. (But its still not enough)!! And any type of Soups that I try to consume come right back up!!! Maybe it's just going to take my stomach a little longer to heal than usual!!! I'm also suffering from SEVERE heartburn that has my chest on fire all day, but I can't take the pills that the doc prescribed for acid in the stomach cuz I'll throw the pill right back up.. Or feel like I want to vomit for hours after!!!! Tried tums chewables today, and they came right back up too!!!! Basically just going with the motions and praying that God heals me from this misery soon.. Other than that I'm doing ok.. Minimal to no pain in my incisions, vitals are great, no infections, blood pressure is perfect.. I just can't put any food down my throat to this point.. & the heartburn is a killer!!!! Please Keep me in prayer!!!! Vivi

I can't wait to buy clothes in a regular store & not worry about plus sizes, I can't wait to run & play with my daughters without being tired!!! I turn 30 in July, and the goal is a 2 piece bathing suit without trying to wear a tshirt or shirt to cover, and last but not least I can't wait for my outside to look & feel as confident as my inside does

Thanks so much!!!! I will keep hanging on!!!!

Thanks so much!!!! I will aim for 32oz!!!!!

Doc said yesterday that I'm doing ok, and to just stick with Water, Gatorade, & my Protein Shakes till the stomach fully heals.. Those things stay down at least

8 days post-op & I'm not getting anywhere near the amount of fluids I need per day.. And anything I do drink, comes right back up.. I cant do broths any longer.. they just make me gag.. & any other Soft creamy soups the same!!!! It's so frustrating & disappointing.. I did this to eat healthy & lose weight the healthy way.. Not to starve!!! Or be a bulimic!!!! So frustrated!!!! Please help!!!!

I just can't do the broths any longer!!! I'm sipping on my protein shake very slowly as we speak!!! Cuz Lord knows I don't want to throw anything up!!! How are all my 12/24 sleevers doing???

Orlando, FL

I already have my box of sugar free pudding ready for next week

Looking forward to thin creamy soups next week!!!! Thanks for the suggestion!!!!

I would hate to throw away the noodles too!!! Lol!!! But that broth sounds much better!!!!

Bananas baby food & custard sounds great!!! Next week definitely!!!
