lovely momma

I am two months out. I was having a lot of pain when I drank and ate. I also have reflux. Those are the main signs. I also was throwing up sometimes.

A stricture is a narrowing in the sleeve and they put a bougie down your throat and diolate it. It helps with the reflux also

RJ how far are you out and how many calories are you eating? And what are you eating? I am 2 months out and have lost 16 pounds. I lost 8 the first four days and after that it took the two months to lose 8 more. Not sure what I can do to speed it up.

I am two months out now and I am just starting to feel better. I had a stricture and they stretched it two days ago and that helped. I am not as tired as I was but not all the way back to where I was.

I went in for an Endoscopy and it showed I had a stricture. They diolated it while in there and I am starting to feel better.

I am also having trouble with vomiting a lot. My chest hurts because of all the vomiting. I went to my doctor but they are not sure what's wrong. They did an upper GI and the doctors here have not seen a sleeve before so they are not sure what to look for. I had my surgery in Mexico and I live in upstate NY. I had a band and had it revised to a sleeve. Since then I have been tired and nauseous a lot.

I to am having nausea. I am 7 weeks out. Anything with sugar or fake sugar. Also I have had cereal and milk and I feel real bad. I am taking Zofram and Nexium but it is still happening. I hope this doesn't last forever.

I am trying to have patience. It can be hard sometimes

I am 7 weeks out with a 13 pound loss. Kind of disappointing

That's a lot of calories. My doctor says between 600 and 800 a day for the first years and 1000-1100 after the first years.

My surgeon is in Mexico. He want everyone's carbs to be about 30 a day. I feel weak and nauseous when I keep it that low. I am 167 pounds. I want to get to about 130. I am not exercising because I don't feel well enough. I am 6 weeks out. Not really sure what to do.

I am on a high protein and low carb diet. I am 6 weeks out and I don't feel so good on this diet. Has anyone lost weight eating a higher carb diet? Or do I just suck it up and continue on this path?

I had the band for 6 years and food would get stuck and I would throw up. I was revised to the band and I have that same stuck feeling in my chest and I still vomit. Nothing has changed as far as that goes.

I am just south of Utica

The new standards for the vaccine has changed from 60 years old to 50 years. Old. You can get the shot at Rite Aid or Walgreens

I am just south of you. I am south of Utica in Bridgewater on Route 8. How long have you been sleeved and how are you doing? I was sleeved one month ago and I am down ten pounds. I have forty to go.

I had the surgery one month ago. I am just starting to feel stronger. I have been very tired and weak for the last month . Everything went well with the surgery. I have only lost 10 pounds this first month. I was hoping for more. I have 40 more pounds to go. I had a good experience with the surgery but with no follow up care it has been hard because I am not sure why I am so weak and sometimes shaky. I think i need some blood work done.

Steel cut oats is one cup of oats to four cups of water. They take about 45 minutes to cook. Uncovered

I have done colonics. All they do is clean you out. If you have health problems they might help with that. What are you wanting to use them for?

I love Raison Bran but stay away,it has 19-21 grams of sugar in it per serving. It will start the cravings. The steel cut oats is a much better option. Don't put yourself through that

The more you eat the more you will want. Go with a high protein diet and you won't have the cravings

Looking for a sleeve buddy near Utica NY.

I had nausea real bad and Dramamine was the only thing that helped me and it works fast. Nothing else helped

Thank you everyone for your help. I need to start getting in more physical activity. The nausea is starting to go away. I am so discouraged because there has been no weightloss but only those first four days.

I don't have a NUT. I talked with my doctor and he says give it more time. I have a low BMI. I weigh 171. I am not working out because I feel weak and tired. I am just starting to have a little bit more energy. I write things down most days. I have been getting between 500- 650 calories a day. My water is good and my protein is about 50 per day.
