I had the same feeling when I ate at the 1month out part. I also wondered why did I do this because of those terrible feelings. Trust me it will pass. You feel good right now and think you can eat solids well, but its just not time right now. Take it slow and let you body heal. I was sleeved on 1/22/13. I can eat anything I want now, but nowhere near half what I could once eat. Lost 82lbs right now and I'm 50 from my goal. Hang in there, you're doing great!

Am I the only man on vst?? I'm 1month 4 days post op and I'm down 38lbs. Total since 1st doctor visit in Nov'12, 66lbs. Pics coming soon.

Good to see some more men on here posting. I was beginning to think that I was the only man from the Jan'13 sleevers that talked about it, LOL!

I'm progressing well. Still can't eat even half of what I once ate. I find myself needing to take a walk when I get that food in my throat feeling, that keeps me from hurling. My high weight was 380, surgery weight was 360, I'm now 316! Can't weight to be under 300. I think I'm past the 1st stall stage and losing at a better rate. Best decision I've made in years!

YES!! I can't even stand to choke them down anymore!!

Had my surgery last week. Didn't even know I had the catheter until I woke up in my room and had to pee. The nurse said go ahead you catheter's in. After it was removed, I sort of missed it. It was cool not having to get up to use it! LOL!

Doing well everyone. Heading into my first full week post-op. I'm down 17lbs from last Tuesday as of Monday morning! I can't believe it! Sick of Jello right now though. Any creative meal recommendations during the full liquid stage? How's everyone doing?

Guys,
I work for a medical device manufacturing company and we make a male external catheter. I'm going to ask my surgeon if they can use that one for me. It's worth asking!! Male external catheter goes on like a condom.(much better than the alternative)

January 22nd here! Yippee!!!

Yes!! Ate moderately, but did eat whatever I wanted this weekend. I go for my upper GI & blood work tomorrow so I can't have anything but Clear Liquids @ 5.(10 mins) and I hadn't had dinner yet. Had to see my Dr for 3months to get insurance taken care of. I lost 20lbs doing that. Ready for the change though.
