Okay ladies! I'm going to try and keep this as clean as I can but its a sex thing so it's definitely adult content! Have any of you had issues with "swallowing" since being sleeved? I went down on my new guy tonight and my sleeve was KILLING me after! I felt like I had eaten too much too fast and then chugged a bunch of Water within 5 minutes. It's starting to go away now but it's a few hours later and it's still really uncomfortable.... I hadn't eaten before of anything so my sleeve was empty. I'm almost 4 months out... Why does it hurt so bad???? Am I never going to be able to "swallow" again??? *panicked face*!! Help !!! I mean, It's not like you can portion it ;p

I hated the puréed phase. I felt the same way. Nothing puréed wanted to go or stay down. Turns out, my sleeve hates purée, to this day I can't do it and I'm 1yr out. I ate a lot of yogurt and vegetarian chili that I pulverized with my teeth during the purée stage to get calories in. You're not alone in this.

I had to stop one of my meds completely because it did not agree with my sleeve at all. I also had to change one of my meds from extended release to the regular kind and take it 2x/day instead of once in the am. No big deal though, it was worth it for the surgery.

No, it's not a big deal. I started mine right on the operating table. And on the bright side, the pain meds you'll be taking should take care of those pesky menstrual cramps >.<

I had my surgery at age 21 and I'm 1year 2 months out. -110 pounds. I was also a low BMI sleeve at 35 but Apple shaped so it was a higher health risk. Your sons eating habits sound a lot like mine. I've been a vegetarian since I was 9 and really health conscious, but I was eating enough healthy vegetarian food to feed three people at each meal!! The sleeve has been a great tool for me and my only regret at this point was not doing it sooner. I hated exercise and now I see the ability to do it as a gift, since my weight was causing me to have mobility issues. Heck, I have. a career promoting a health club and selling memberships!!! If he's ready to really commit, then he should do it. I love myself for the first time since I can remember.

My new life is amazing. Physically, of course I'm better. But the mental transformation has myself and everyone around me amazed. I'm a year and 2 months out and wow!! I mean, who ever thought I would make a living selling GYM MEMBERSHIPS ??? I'm a completely new person for the better. My day is typical for a normal person, minus a lot of the food, plus more exercise. I see you posted this in Feb. How did your surgery go??

22 and sleeved here! Instagram: rositaxm. It's private but only so my family can't stalk me I love following my fellow sleevers! Some of the best meal ideas come from y'all!

Kathy, thanks for refreshing this thread! Notified me via email and brought me back to the forum! Update- swallowing still makes my tummy uncomfortable because of the semen's consistency, but my doc said not to worry!

My friend took this candid picture of me cooking yesterday and I was shocked that I looked so adorable! It's the first time I've ever been pleased with a candid shot of me it feels so good!

I'm 2 weeks and 2 days out since surgery. Every day these symptoms are getting worse. I saw my surgeon yesterday and he said it was normal. I'm getting enough Protein and fluids. He says patients who suffer from severe depression (I.e. me) tend to feel this way for about a month post op. I guess what I'm asking is; how did you combat this? I'm not functional at all. I go to clean, and I have to sit or lie in bed after three minutes. I don't trust myself out and about to do errands.

It's slowly getting better. I get about 12 good hours in a day MAX or I'm just pooped. I'm about 4 moths out

Feeling really great about this progress so far!!! Highest weight: 264.5 Current weight: 193 VSG: 2-12-13

Most of the time I'm so happy about being sleeved. I feel fantastic, I'm starting to look hot, I feel more in control, etc. But, once in a while I get sad that I can't go out and act like a normal 21 year old at a party. Mild occasional regrets. Anybody else experience this?

I'm so nervous! My ex was with me through the whole process of me getting sleeved and the recovery. My new guy wasn't there ( oh how I wish he had been there instead) and he didn't meet me until a 60 lb loss. I haven't slept with him yet and I'm so nervous to!!

When I told my new guy, it brought us closer. Turns out he had grown up watching his mom battle obesity and he was just super impressed that I took control of it at a young age. I think you should just tell him. If he doesn't love every bit of you, then he's not the right one. Try not to turn the sleeve into your "deep dark secret". Be proud of it!! You worked hard for it!

You ladies are too much!! *in a super good way* Ill have to try asking him to "decorate my lips". Sounds super sexy!

Psychologically, I'm at the worst stall ever!!!! Been weighing in between 201-202 for a week! Why can't I just hit ONEderland already??? Technically I don't even think it's a stall, it's just torture! Lol Weight loss -wise I'm doing great! SW: 264 CW:201-202 Surgery 2-12-13!!! And just discovered that edamame is one of my slider foods... *sarcastic* woo! I love reading everyone's progress!! Keep it up!!

I'm rositaxm!!!

I'm extremely excited about this fact because I hate eating eggs!!! Woo for alternative protein sources!

Now that I think about it, there's also all of the saliva being produced during the act so I may be swallowing a lot more volume than I thought.... I feel like more research needs to be done on this subject...

Hmmm and I wonder how much Protein it has lol.

Lost my first handful the other day... I freaked out! It's totally normal though. It's a good excuse to try that short haircut you've always wanted!!!

Sorry it's just a screenshot but yeah! I'm -57 pounds now!!! Woo! Follow me on Instagram! Rositaxm I love following fellow sleevers!
