  1. Prior to getting pregnant I had been very successful with sleeve.. Had lost almost 100lbs. In the beginning of my pregnancy, I felt the restriction prior to getting pregnant, but I noticed I was getting hungry a lot quicker. Now at 7 1/2 months pregnant I feel like there isn't much restriction at all. I don't know if its my body making sure I am getting the proper calories I need for the baby at this time or if I should contact my surgeon about an issue with my surgery. I think I read previously that people have had less restriction while pregnant, and once the pregnancy it goes back to how it was. Help.. kinda freaking out... I hate gaining the weight and now I'm nervous there could be something wrong

  3. Hello I was sleeved in May of 2013... Lost 85 pounds the first 3.5 months .... Have been kinda stuck since October or so ... I don't know why I can't find the motivation to go to the gym even though I wants to lose another 90 pounds ... I have snacking and eating some stuff I don't shouldn't be... So I know why I haven't lost any weight. I'm wondering the best way to start over... Should I start the food stages over again? Yes I know the gym is a big part of it... But I'm interested in the best way to Deal with the food ... I feel hungry like I did pre surgery ... But obviously I eat a lot less when I do eat the junk.. Thank you for any help

  9. Hi all.. I was sleeved may 6th.. It took me about a week after the surgery to go to the bathroom... And for a couple weeks it was everyday. But over the last month it's seems to be getting fewer and farther inbetween. My fluids were low.. I was getting about 40 hours when I was suppose to be getting. 64. Over the last week I have really made a conscious effort and got the 64 ounces down but nothing has happened with bathroom issue. After surgery I took miralax. And it took me the week to go. Should I keep waiting for the fluids to. Kick in or try milk of magnesia..or is it something I should be calling dr about Thanks

  11. Thanks all... Got some and tried it went well... Looks like I found a new snack !
  12. Hi... I'm 2 months out at 46 pound down... I just recently saw turkey Jerky in the store ... The nutrition seems pretty good .. In 1 Oz there is 13 grams of Protein and less then a gram of fat. I've tolerated any food I've tried.. And just curious is this is a good snack or Not Thanks
  13. Exact thing last week when I was sleeved. Your stomach is just swollen ,., the majority of mine we away my third day home as was able to drink 3 shakes a day . Just sip slow and stop when it hurts !
  14. When I called the doctor about the stomach pains ... They said stomach may still be swollen and you may be drinking to much to soon

  16. Thank you all... I think the numbers game is going to drive me crazy ! But each day I notice a little difference in my self .... I will use this as my motivation now more than the numbers each morning ! ... At least I will try !
  17. I was sleeved on the 6th. My discharge nurse and papers told me to weigh myself everyday. Since last Monday I've lost 12 pounds.. Which I am happy with!! today when I weighed myself I didn't lose any. Should I be concerned.... A couple of my friends told me not to worry about it .. But I just think with the sleeve I shouldn't of hit a day where I didn't lose any yet ! ??
  18. Same here !! Was a little nervous about how little i could drink ! But seems to be good since day 3 for me !
  19. I guess the stomach swelling finally went down ... Finally getting 3 protein drinks a day Down with out pain
  20. Thank you all so much problem fixed !! Hehe thank you miralax
  21. Tried the miralax .... No luck yet... Don't know how long to wait before I call dr
  22. Walking really does wonders ! I had the worst chest pain from the gas ... I walked 1 1/2 after getting to my room to start working on getting rid of it....was gone by the next day... Still have some belly pain when I drink my shakes to fast !
