Thank you Kathy for your reply. Yes the weight loss to date has certainly been the biggest incentive to continuing this health journey. I guess I was hoping for one of those "no problems" stories. I have to believe that this is just a bump in the road and that a few months from now my food intake will not be the concern that it is today. For now.....I will continue to reach my 60g protein/64oz Flds and gym 5 days a week goals. But I definitely look forward to the day that doesn't start with a Protein shake!!

Mokt I knew I had a structure since about week 2 and it continued to be an issue. By the time I was vimiting daily I decided to take matters into my own hands and have a GI guy take a look week 11 (my surgeon said it wld "go away"). Symptoms included feeling like the food got stuck at the back of your throat and vomiting after only 1-2 T dense solids. I never seemed to get my calories above 500 despite the fact that I would be either eating or drinking all day (volume was not my friend). Unfortunately many patients require redilation 2-3 times but it is a pretty simple outpatient procedure (you are sedated). So I am 1 wk post dilation and I have not vomited but I still very quickly get full in the dense foods (1-2 oz). Fluids, cheese, yogurt are much easier to consume. Good luck at your appt today!

Sorry to hear you are going through this but am glad that you are able to take in more calories.
May I ask what it felt like to have this? What were your symptoms? I have been having problems since the beginning. Abdominal pain right where my stomach is, intermittent nausea and since being on solids food will get stuck in my throat making me unable to eat more. I am consuming about 500cal a day. I am meeting with my doctor tomorrow to discuss.
I wish you continued success and hope that you are able to move onto more "normal" eating as you put it.
Best of luck!

it will take time for your new little tummy to settle down/heal

maybe like you are just starting over
as if you were sleeved yesterday
you are now able to eat a little more food
after a while your eating will move forward
eat different things
hopefully things will continue to improve

You deserve this at any stage. I am post-op day 2 and feel pretty good. Difficult to get my fluids in but the actual surgery went just fine. Good luck!

I am getting sleeved tomorrow morning. First case. Not nervous yet but I practice anesthesia so maybe my take is a little different however once that hospital gown goes on who knows!! Best of luck.

I am having my surgery December 11th. I live in Fort Lauderdale. I am so looking forward to being "on the other side"!
