It is normal to have the rhoughts you are having. It is a major change to your life. The sleeve is your tool you will be full but you will crave other foods. For me they don't taste the same and are easily avoided if I get my head straight. Loosing weight and feel8ng better will motivate you and you will have the BariatricPal family to support you every step of the way. Good luck you can do this and transform to a wnderful new life.

It is used for gerd and ulcers and can protect your sleeve certainly appropriate for a new sleeve.Most of us take some medication the first month following surgery to protect our new sleeve or pouch. Good luck.

I hate those stalls, i have been thinking shakes only for a week. I think I am eating too much food during the day. Arghhhh

How's it going montana sleevers? 7/4/16 down 41 pounds. Would love to chat.

Thank you all for posting. It was just the information I needed.

I am wondering if there are scientific studies to show at what period post op does the hormone Ghrelin start secreting following a sleeve procedure and at what levels. Does it return to a preop level? I LOVE not being hungry!

I check references called patients and decided on dr. Illan bariatric pal team mexico. If Alex B. Founder of this site supports him it was good enough for me. BEST decision ever! BILL YANEZ is coordinator for team mexico. Tell him I sent you, he will take great care of you. Personal service no big business feeling.

I lost when I did the liquid before surgery. Again they want to see how you are able to deal with food and a life style change. The more you can clear out those poor choices the better you walk will be postop. Stop now with sugar, pop, and breads and pasta. Protien vegetables and fruits you will feel amazing in a short time. The first week will be hard but you can do this!

Agreed plan ahead to have your protien and fluids.Have fun and enjoy your get away.

I stalled forever after surgery was kind of angry then one day your scale will move.drink your water

Yes it can be. Miralax might be better long term. Once I got to more food bowels are working fine. I have a friend who a year out needs help.

One month is hard, I thought I would loose so much weight. Only about9 pounds from date of surgery. 18 pounds preop. What was amazing is the number of inches lost. 29 in all. Hang in there weight loss will happen. Sent from my SM-G920V using the BariatricPal App
