I feel intense pressure/pain. Lots of burping. Takes about an hour for me to feel better. Idk if that's my "full" or from eating too fast. I also start producing a lot of mucus and I feel the need to spit for about 1/2 hour Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

How long did it take before you could eat/drink without feeling that grumbling/pressure/need to burp/nausea/just plain uncomfortable feeling? I am 6 weeks out and I feel at least one of the above mentioned feelings whenever I eat or drink unless its a popsicle. I have a friend who said he started feeling normal after about a year.

Hi. I was sleeved on 8/3. I'm exactly a month out. I was wondering when is the typical timeline for when hair starts to fall out? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

At 6 days out you probably are still carrying the Water from the IV. Don't worry. I gained about 9lbs from iv (two days in hospital) and lost it just as quickly Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Yeah thats what i thought. Im still doing puree Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I just thought if something. I was moved up to the puree stage early by my doc and Nut. They moved me to pureed food on a Friday and I wasn't scheduled to move up until the following Wednesday. Does that mean my new move up day for each stage is now Fridays or still Wednesday? Meaning should I continue moving up on my original scheduled day or is my whole plan moved up and I could have moved on to soft food as of yesterday (Friday which would have been a week on puree) Doc and Nut not in on weekends or I would have of course called them :-) Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I def would have called if I could. I just thought about it today and I can't call until Monday. Just wondering if anyone knew. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

No not shortening the next stage. The schedule is a week on puree. Ive done a week on puree. So does that mean I am now on soft? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on 8/3/16 and I am still learning what these new feelings mean. I am on pureed foods. Sometimes when I eat I have a lot of gas and need to burp a lot. What does that mean? Am I eating too fast? Wrong foods? I just had refried Beans and I burped the whole time and I am still burping. This happens almost daily. Any insight? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thanks. I will try slowing down. This has such a learning curve. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I'm going through it right now. I haven't lost any weight in the past 2 weeks. I was sleeved on 8/3 Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved on the same day. I was put on B-12 last Friday. They said I should see my energy pick up soon Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Thank you very much. I am embracing the stall Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I will be 3 weeks post op tomorrow. The scale hasn't moved in over a week. I am on pureed foods and I can barely eat more than a few bites. This is discouraging. I am a bit constipated and I was wondering if that may be why the scale isn't moving. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

First week SUCKED. By day 5 I was feeling a lot better. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I felt that way for the first week. The first week out SUCKS. It gets better. Hang in there. I am now 3 weeks out and I feel back to normal. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I always tell people that WLS is faster not easier. Tell them to try liquids only for weeks. Or better yet a big "get the eff out of my face". Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My plan was: Clear for 1 week Full liquids for 2 weeks Puree for 1 week Soft for 1 week I was on day 9 of full liquids when I had my 1st post op appt and the doc said I could move on to puree. So I guess there are guidelines and some docs adjust depending on your progress Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved by Dr. Marymour at the Barix Clinic in Langhorne 8/3/16. Great experience. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was sleeved by Dr. Marymour at The Barix Clinic in Langhorne 8/3/16. Feeling good just SO ready to come off of liquids next week. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I was given one the day I was discharged. I haven't used mine yet but I know other people who have and they said restaurants are familiar with the cards and they have had no problems ordering kid's meals or getting senior citizens discounts. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I have one more week of full liquids also and its driving me nuts! I am so over the liquids. I havent had food since July 25th. It sucks so much but stick it out. You don't want to have serious complications over a little bite of food. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
