Has anyone ever experienced dumping?? OMG it's the worst feeling in the world

I think we're in the slow loser club...I'm at 56 at 4 months...my husband (sleeved the same day) is down 90 pounds! I hear we're not supposed to compare ourselves with others...so I keep telling myself.

Ikr...smh....I wonder what we can be doing to get there? I could definitely exercise more though :-/

98lbs...wow...I need ur help!!!

March 21 down 98 pounds but now it takes me a week to loose a pound. Very happy wish I did this years ago

Hey guys..just checking in. I'm down 57 lbs since surgery 4 months ago. I feel like I should have lost more weight then that thus far BUT I'm happy with the way my body is coming along. Can't weight to reach my goal!! Hope all is well

Same here. I get plenty of compliments and see the weight loss a little but I still feel the same lol...I'm down 2 pant sizes as well. I guess I'm ready to c a HUGE change. I've lost 50lbs, I'm at 13 was now. I feel I shouldve lost more at this point. I haven't lost any weight in 2 1/2 wks. Really discouraing

I went to the gym for the 1st time too and I think I did great. I focused on leg toning, and arms with 4lb weights. My legs are a Lil sorry but not too sore. It was a start. I stayed at the gym for an hr....hopefully within a wk or so I'm able to pick up the momentum and do more!! Excited to start getting this body into shape! 9 wks post op n down 63Lbs!!! Feeling good!!!

I'll keep u in my prayers, it ducks to feel like this. I was told getting reflux under control can take some time, but I'm hoping tht we both fight through this sooner than later. I've lost 52, 37 lbs since surgery and I'm not enjoying it be all this pain and discomfort I'm in :-/ I know it will get better, it's Jus discouraging to be Goin through this at 2 months...

I Called My doc And They schd Me an Appt Tomorrow. I had the stomach bacteria called h pylori and they stopped the treatment for it bc it was making me sick at the beginning of surgery. The bacteria causes reflux, so I think thts wats wrong. How far out are u? It sucks to feel this way bc it makes me not want to eat bc my stomach hurts...I'm not leaving tht office until this is cured lol

Is it just me or does anyone else stomach feels discomfort and rumble all day? I'm 8 wks tomorrow and no matter what I do my stomach hurts. Any suggestions

@@nikkib24 tht is a sign of dehydration. As well as extreme thirst, headaches and fatique..Contact your surgeon ASAP and let them advise u on wat to do.. you probably need rehydrate and you will feel much better! Hang in there

Wat kind of things do u guys do to get ur energy/stamina back?

Yea I gotta get new Vitamins, I hate the chewable ones???????? and I haven't started the Calcium pills yet, guess I'll be going tomorrow to get some. Any suggestions on brands? I'm dwn 34lbs since surgery, and a total of 50lbs since my weight loss journey. I haven't measured myself in inches, which I shouldve.

I have really low energy and always tired. Any suggestions? 5 wks post op

I'm 4 wks n 3 days post op and I'm still having trouble knowing if I'm hungry, bloated or in pain.....weird, but it's confusing. Any suggestions?

Does anyone else have trouble sleeping through the night? 3rd day post op and it's been like this since I came home. I used to sleep 8-10 hours no problem. No I'm lucky if I get 3-4 before waking up. And then it takes forever to go back to sleep. Ugh.

That does change and you will go back to sleeping through, I was the same and it lasted about 10 days.

I was sleeved on the 3rd March, the first week was sheer hell, I came round from the op in complete agony and then I took an infection in the largest of the incisions and had to be put on strong antibiotics to clear it.

I struggled like crazy for the first week to get fluids in, tea tasted disgusting, Water was horrid, and I was miserable and wondering what the hell I had done to myself. Week 2 was not much better, I was still sore from the infection and got hit with horrible head hunger, I ended up crying over my husband making himself toast of all things. By half way through the second week I was feeling so much better and had got a grip on the head hunger and the fluids and was reaching targets easily through swapping to sugar free squash. I was even able to start enjoying a cuppa again.

I still can not tolerate Protein drinks or powders, they are the one thing that makes me sick, so this week my dietician gave me the all clear to start eating soft meats like minced beef, turkey and chicken in gravy and deli ham etc in order to get Protein in and so far so good, I am feeling so much better and being able to eat more normal foods is great.

So to anyone struggling it does get easier and goes get so much better.

Thanks for the encouragement!!! I really needed that!!!

That makes me feel much better!!! In order to cut the Protein Shake I just need to make sure I eat more Protein based foods instead. It comment is super helpful. I also had my sleeve done on 3-3-14. Happy ur doing great! Cannot Wait Until I Get The Hang Of Things Like U lol

Same here! I'll be 4 wks post op of Monday and the Protein Shakes don't sit well with me either. I Need help

I'm Almost 4 wks post Op And CANNOT sleep. Any suggestions? I feel very restless. Trying to experiment with different Protein flavors bc I know I'm not getting the protein I need :-( I go back to work soon so I want to get this under control ASAP

I'm 3 wks out and is it jus me or does Protein Drinks run straight through? I can drink a Protein Shake and run to the bathroom about 10-20 mins later

Oh okay. I thought I was the only one lol...hope so too!!! Hopefully me and you will be loving this in a couple months lol

Had my sleeve on 3-3-14, I'm post op day 20 and last wk I was re-hospitalize for dehydration. I've had it rough. I sleep a lot therefore I'm not eating like I should. It's hard. I'm still at the point where I regret it, but hoping it gets better. I go back to wrk in 3 wks so I'm hoping I get the hang of this in the next wk or so. Down 26 lbs since surgery, but not enjoying the weight loss bc I'm always sick. Please keep me posted on you guys progress

It's okay....thnx! This surgery has been pretty rough on me. How about you?

Same here, but its a lil blood not a full blown period. I was also worried lol but seems like everyone is having these problems. I'm post op day 20

Had my sleeve done on 3-3-14 as well and I'm having so much trouble eating ANYTHING. When I do eat, I instantly have diarrhea. Any suggestions???

Same here I'm post op day 19 and I've had barely no Protein. I'm really having a bad time with this surgery. Just ordered new protein called Unjury hopefully it works. The vanilla one i have is disgusting
