    stall at 2 weeks out?! help!

    Justoperated replied to DgotSleeved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    @@BLERDgirl, I am trying but can't manage. I am struggling to get even enough liquids, even on my best day I can only take 1.2 -1.3 Litres. I get filled up quickly and if I snack, I feel full or reflux. I am also afraid to push more than my sleeve can handle and therefore am careful and stop as soon as I feel full.

    stall at 2 weeks out?! help!

    Justoperated replied to DgotSleeved's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    I am 16 days and have stalled since last 4-5 days but I guess its just how the body reacts. When I was loosing pounds daily, I couldnt figure out, why am I loosing so rapidly, even if I am on zro calories and burn 2000 a day, I should not be loosing that much and now when I am not loosing at all despite being less than 500 Cal daily, don't understand why I am not loosing. Guess there is more to weight loss than simple calorie count.

    Adhesions

    Justoperated replied to SuzyB's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    My guess is that sleeve is quite high in abdomen, and not very extensive surgery that it would lead to adhesions, but ofcourse that just my guess. But you can get twisting of gut even if you did not have any surgery.

    I am planning to resume work next week, I know most will say you didn't need it, or I could do it without sleeve, if I tell them I had sleeve. But I am going to say it. Don't care what they say.

    3 days post op and discouraged

    Justoperated replied to dawnlatonya's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I had significant pain for first 3-4 days, though I could sleep, but any movement would bring pain. I did not take pain medications beyond day 2, as it wasn;t making any difference anyway. Pain decreased considerably day 5 and beyond.

    Everyday is a new day

    Justoperated replied to Justoperated's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    @@Stephie76, kuds to you for getting the information beforehand. I had not researched so much before the surgery, because at home everyone wanted me not to do it and didnt have neough time at work. Regret-No, but atleast till now, I am not ecstatic at the weight loss, though day 11, and I have dropped below 200lbs, last time I was below 200 was 7 years ago. But I guess if your doctor says, you will benefit then go ahead.

    Day 10 post op and can't figure out whats happening. My stomach behaves differently, every day. Different types of pains, different sounds. At times gases, at times fullness, diarrhea, then no stool of 2 days, then diarrhea again. And I have some difficulty figuring out if my stomach is full or empty. Its the same feeling after food and few hours of not eating.

    Dull Pain and Fullness

    Justoperated replied to Justoperated's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I am taking PPI and motilium.
  15. Justoperated
    I am day 9 post sleeve, since last 2 days, diarrhea has disappeared, instead now I have a dull pain in stomach and it feels full, specially in evening. As if the whatever I take is still in stomach and hasn't passed through. It has reduced my fluids too. At times I feel I want to burp, but can't. I am passing gas but no motion in last 2 days. Walking regularly but hasn't helped much.

    Blood Thinners

    Justoperated posted a topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story

    For how long were you prescribed clot preventing injections. My surgeon prescribed for 2 weeks, though he himself says that it differs, some surgeons dont prescribe at all, some for 3 days, others 10-14 days. He did tell me I can reduce to 5-7 days if I am walking regularly and able to drink well, which today I feel I am.

    I have always loved to work out, so wondering when will I be able to resume. How about driving? When did you resume driving again.

    I am day 6 today and within minutes of sipping Protein shake, ensure or glucerna I get spasms and explosive diarrhea. I have tried it in mornings and get 2-3 bowel motion by noon. I wonder if it is because of shake or time? ANyone had this issue?

    Good to see this thread, I wasn't all that low afterall, 36 before surgery.

    Lying about what type of surgery..

    Justoperated replied to Bubsen's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums

    A week off seems too little, I am week since surgery and can't seem to have enough energy or concentration for work. I had planned 2 weeks off, but today felt iffy.

    Diarrhea after protein shake/ensure?

    Justoperated replied to Justoperated's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A

    I think the stomach is not yet accepting food with relatively thicker consistency and inturn excites the whole bowel, as doesn't happen when I take clear juice or broth. BTW you seem to have started at quite a low BMI 31, I though I was low at surgery 36.

    I have always loved to workout and though am not a body builder, am muscular. I understand that when I loose, I will loose both muscle and fat. WHen people stall, or gain some back, do they gain muscle as well?
