OMG!! Same here! I'll be 6months August 2nd. I found out today that I'm pregnant!

Hey guys! Did anyone figure out if you can join after vsg?? I'm prior service Army of 4 years. Couldn't reenlist because of my weight. I'm thinking about reenlisting again.

The past couple days when I sip water my stomach feels ill afterward. Anyone know why this happens to some patients? I've tried warm, cold, room temp and I just feel a little ill for a moment. Thanks!

I am sorry you have to go through that, I know it can be hard. My 2 best friends felt like I didnt care for their opinion, in her words, "It sounds like you're telling us this just to tell us not because you want our opinion and you dont care how we feel." It made me mad that theu weren't supportive at first but come to find out they were just incredibly worried about me going to Mexico for surgery by myself. On a sad note she isnt talking to me anymore either, her loss

A week after my surgery I had that happen 1 time. Then nothing else all day. Sleevers aren't prone to dumping syndrome, so I was told. It can happen but it's more likely to happen to bypass patients. Although, im no doctor.

Apparently I can't upload photos, ignore that last post.

I've been on omeprozole for years for my acid reflux. It could be that im eating/drinking too fast. Ill slooooow down and see if that helps. Thanks for replying guys, sometimes it takes an outsiders perspective.

Please share your experiences if you've had the same issue, I need help on this one. Surgery was Feb 2nd. Honestly, I feel a little anorexic. I have been on pureed for almost a week now, but every time I eat I feel so sick and make myself vomite or my body force vomites. I try to get my liquids in everyday but it feels like time is passing so fast that I have barely got anything down all day (food, water/gatorade.) I went to the hospital for some iv fluids this weekend and tests came back great. Doctor ended up giving me 3 bags of iv fluids because I was really dehydrated. I've been trying multiple Protein shakes to find one I actually like that doesn't make my stomach hurt. I am talking to my surgeon about it tomorrow. ANY advice would be great if you had this same problem, how did you get all your liquids down? And how did you transition food stages? Thanks you guys!!

Same, liquid tylenol, walmart. I have cronic migraines, when they said I couldnt have ibuprohen anymore I wanted to cry. The tylenol has worked pretty good, im suprised.

I feel your pain!

Weight goal is to be between 130-140. I started my pre-op diet at 230lbs. I had surgery the 2nd of February and I am down 33lbs already. Praying for a better back and knees, gotta get this weight off!

Ive heard it's more for bypass patients than sleevers, bit thats just what I read. Doc never told me too.

I was actually looking for those tonight at walmart!! Im having a hard time getting my protein in, surgery was the 2nd of feb

Thanks for this one, i had surgery the 2nd and keep weighing in between 199 and 202. 33lbs gone since my pre-op diet, and now nothing. I too have decided to stop stepping on the scale everyday. lol It is just too exciting not to step on it everyday.
