I usually eat off the Kids or Senior Menu.....and still have to have a to go bag! Or for Breakfast, just order 1 egg and toast. eat 1/4 of one slice and the egg......

yes been there done that....it gets better. I have 9 month post op, and still have those days. But jus think we are making Major Life changing events. My mind has been on a rollercoaster. You are not alone. Some days I still wake up and think....****, I had my stomach removed.....WTF? But I go to put on my clothes and they fit or are getting to big, then I jus smile......Wishing you the Best of LUCK!

thanks for the input, do you know anyone that has switched from sleeve to bypass, and how they liked it or how they did.....I may be jumping the gun, but just want as much information as I can get?????

I averaged about 12 to 15 a month for the first 3 or 4 months.

I have actually been asking my self that too, I even asked the doctor today, and It is something he is looking into. Yes I am afraid to eat, but also, My first upper GI showed gastritius, (spelling)...and irritation and swelling. So there is at least some physical issue too. and Thanks for your "Frankness" Each time I hear it is does seem a little more real...Head issues too....

Most of the time uncomfortable. I HAVE NEVER been Hungry, always Bloated. I get sick to my stomach easy, today I was drinking a Shake at Wal~Mart, after about 3 drinks, had to run to bathroom, and Had the dry heaves. Sorry if to much info, I had to get IV fluids today cause I was dehydrated AGAIN, got IV fluids just 2 weeks ago too.....

Okay, where do I start? I had the Sleeve on Jan 9th of this year. Reached my Goal in 8 ½ months, now below my goal. My stomach hurts, I am never hungry, and I CAN’T eat. At first it was great; I mean I reached my goal. I am thin. But MY stomach HURTS. I have been Reading your post about when hungry hit around the 6th month point, and have waited. But nope not hungry, Cause tummy hurts, (ok, I have said that point enough). So, I went to My Surgeon today, he put me on some MORE antacids, and did more blood work. He said to give Meds 2 weeks and if blood work looks okay he wants to do a “Gi~Scope” test to look for bile and acid in my stomach. And if it IS present, I would have to go from a Sleeve to a Bypass…. I am FREAKING OUT?! (He told ME NOT to freak out, but I am anyway) What are your thoughts, and have you heard anyone that has had to do this????

Only weigh ONCE a month, so you don't let your self get stressed....the sleeve works but you are NOT gonna lose weight every day...I was at goal about 8 months... Good LUCK., and throw away the scale. I only weigh at the doctors office.

You will be able to have drinks again, but I don't think you should this close to surgery. Doctor made me go 8 Weeks with no drinks (pre op). Talk to your doctor, but I think I know what his answer would be. Best of Luck.

I have found if I eat junk food, I get sick to my stomach. High fat foods give me stomach cramps. I also had my gallbladder out so that may be part of the reason too. But I am ALSO afraid of eating this kind of food, cause I don't want to Gain All My weight back. I want to follow the rules, but as I do I keep losing.

there is always the Negative people. but I have found the SLEEVE WORKES! It has changed my Life. Do your research, listen to your doctor, your shrink, and your NUT. Best of Luck... YOU CAN DO THIS!

let your sleeve work and save your money. Best of Luck

Thanks for this topic, I am having the Same Issue, I CAN NOT eat. I am NEVER hungry, and force a few bites and feel sick....I am happy where my weight is now, but I am Afraid of where I will be in another few months....?? I am starting to wander if it is a Physical or Mental thing??

I have lost 110lbs in the last 9 ½ months. I ran into a coworker, last week, I am not sure if she even knows what she said but she told me… “You looked good 2 months ago, not you look kinda sickly.” What the HELL? I am 5”8 still weigh 153 doctors goal weight was 155 so I think at this point I am Far from “sickly”??? UGH, some people.

I was 246 5'8 and averaged appx 12 to15 lbs the first few months...

I use the theory that if my Great Grandmother would not recognize it as food, I try and stay away from it....not that I always follow the rule but I use it as a rule of thumb...

picking up my wedding ring today, had to have it resized! Went from a 8 to 6 1/2...everything gets Smaller!!!!

Dizziness is a sign of dehydration. I have had to go in 3 times for IV fluids, so I do know about it. Drink Drink Drink, the good H2O. but if you are already dizzy and if it is worse when you go from sitting to standing or laying to standing, you are already behind…. Go Ask for IV fluids….I had them last week 2 liters….

Hello, Like everyone has said you need to get back to the basics, protein, protein and then protein. Also, I never look at the huge amount of weight I need to lose, I took it 10 lbs at a time. So when I weighed 200 all I would think about is weighing 190, and only weigh myself every 2 weeks in the beginning when I was 250 lbs I would only weigh Once a Month…. Best of luck, and Remember YOU CAN do this…Small steps and Just one Step at a time, Don’t let yourself get overwhelmed!
