My starting weight was 287 and now I'm down to 202 where I was sleeved in Nov 2014. I have been at 202 for about 3.5 weeks.... I am wondering if I am causing this.................

Are you able to eat bread? I haven't eaten any bread or potatoes. I've been scared that it wouldn't agree with my stomach.

How's all of the November sleevers?! Lost 40lbs and feel great! Cant eat a full meal as instructed by the doctor. I only can eat maybe 2 forks full and that's about it. Then again in about 3hrs. Wanna know how everyone else is doing.

Wow! 1 week! I will speak with my surgeon on Wednesday. Thanks

I've spoken with medical staff which includes nurses. No one will answer my question regarding intercourse. When is it safe to resume?

@@mfm116 How long did it take you to get started on regular food?

Yes.. I'm still on liquids. Trying to hold on.

Sleeved 11/19/14. Just barely made it thru Thanksgiving. I have kids and a husband who eats regularly and the food smells so good. Maybe I'm torturing myself but I prepare their food and fix their plates. It seems as if my senses to the smells has heightened. I can hear them eating and the television commercials are terrible. I'm trying to hold on but I am struggling.. I want the turkey, ribs, potato salad, etc.. Am I the only one that's going thru this? My biggest weakness is a Whooper from Burger King and the family decided to have just that on Saturday. I can really see the semi-addiction. Trying to stay focused. I have not fell off the wagon. Lost 30lbs. Maybe I need a mentor or a coach. ???????????????? Any suggestions? Words of wisdom?

Call the nurse on call. Call your doctor.. Ask for nausea meds..

Hang in there. The same thing has happened to me. My doctors assured me this is common. They gave me pain meds, steroids, nausea meds and Pepcid intravenously along with IV fluids. I feel great! I feel so much better. Please hang in there. We are here to encourage and support you thru this time.

@@Betts69 have you tried B-Complex and B12 for energy? I'm using both that's liquid. Also, I'm not pooping either. But I was thing that nothing's really going in so nothing's coming out. The nurses have checked my bowel sounds and everything's good just waiting. That's good to know about the yogurt and cottage cheese. I've tried some putter chocolate Protein that tastes like Reese's cups that I thought was awesome prior to my surgery so I'll try this again. I go thru bodybuilding.com vises GNC because the prices are cheaper and I find that they have a bigger variety. I hope you find some protein that will agree with you. I will now start mine as well. I will be discharged today due to my swallowing issues. Please keep me posted. Stay encouraged!

Yes but only because my esophagus was swollen a few days after the surgery. The meds has gotten me back on track so I will begin my protein and liquid regime on tomorrow.
