kaciii

How soon did some of y'all eat meat after surgery? I was sleeved on 3/30 and I'm dying for some type of meat. I've had pepperoni and salami and did fine I'm just terrified of moving to the next step. (Chicken... Sandwich meat .. Etc) and how did your stomach handle it ?

Before I say anything I am gonna call my doctor in the morning but just curious if anyone had this happen ? I was sleeved 3/30 and my largest incision ( to my left of my belly button) hasn't been healing on one side ... It'd scab and fall off and rescab ect. Well I finally had a good look at it and there's a STRING coming out of my incision. I thought they would have used dissolvable. And it's just now poking out.. It wasn't there a couple weeks ago. (It only popped out after my last scab fell off but it's still attached to it ) pic for clarity

I snipped it and it's already healing:) and yeah it looks horrible because it kept scanning and falling off and there would be a hole and it would scab even bigger! Gonna by some scar away like suggested above

The doctors office told me to just clip it with sterile scissors

Still waiting on call back from Doctor but it's itching horrible I just wanna rip it out lol jk I wouldn't do that

Thank you all! Still trying to get through at my doctors office I'm glad to know its a normal thing

I'm at 30 lbs lost and have hit a stall

Sleeved 3/30 and I believe I'm in my first stall. I started at 235 my pre op diet and now I'm 209 I'm getting discouraged because I'm afraid I'm failing and I'm not going to lose the weight . Everyone keeps saying to hold on that it'll happen . I guess I'm just anxious and wanting it to continue to drop. Any ideas on getting out of a stall this soon after ?

Love this !

Thank y'all! I feel a lot better now

I was sleeved 3/30 and about a week or two after surgery I was miserable and definitely regretted the surgery. I let myself get dehydrated which caused a lot of pain and nausea and then caused some pretty bad constipation. I started slowing down and taking care of myself and now I feel fine . Things have started clearing up in the past week and no more nausea . I'm still slacking in the energy but wasn't taking my vitamins like I was suppose to do I'm sure once they've been in my system for awhile things will be fine It does get better hang in there . Let me know if you want to talk privately

Yeah I get that same feeling with heavy meats . I would stick with chicken fish and or shrimp right now . I'm sorry your sleeve didn't like pork !

Congratulations ! That's amazing

But I've nowhere else to turn . And I always appreciate everyone's thoughts and advice here . I haven't gone to the bathroom in over a week now. Been taking my softners daily and I took some milk of magnesia . Nothing! On top of that whenever I'm constipated I'm constantly hungry and wanting to snack to the point where I'm terrified my sleeve is stretching ... Thoughts?

I'm going to take a fiber supplement to help but was able to go some after this post which relieved some of my stomach cramps . But I got on the scale and gained 6 lbs!!! What's the deal? Could that be from my constipation ?

I also want to try them but haven't but you can make your own protein bar/balls at home . I did and I love them. They're almost like a dessert/treat. You Pinterest energy bites and a bunch of recipes will come up

I haven't made it to 64 oz a day but I'm in the guidelines I got from Doctor/nutritionist . I had a case where I did get dehydrated and was pretty sick but when I figured out it was dehydration I've been sticking to my water religiously . But it seems it's been since then that I was able to go. I hope I'm not ... What's the word... Impacted ?

Thanks I'll make a call tomorrow

I had surgery 3/30 went twice no problem the first week after surgery but since then have only gone once ... With help from a laxative. It's a real pain . Make sure to keep your liquid intake up .

Well I skipped the meat and ate some steamed zuchinni and I don't wanna stop! Should I be worried or is it my stomach healing so it can hold more ?

Thanks. I was having problems for awhile as well so I was on puréed food longer but now I'm doing great so was suggested to advance. I want to I'm just scared of having those problems again.

I miss Mexican food

Alabama

I got Phillips and they lied . I'm cramping

Do we keep the dosage the same ?
