The first thing that comes to my mind is--> are you getting adequate fluids every day? Are you reaching your Protein goals?
I am a few days past being 4 months post-op & back in the beginning, I had a few days where I felt dizziness creeping in ---I'd look at my food log & immediately see that I was behind on my Fluid intake...Once that registered with me, I never let it happen again.
If you're meeting your Fluid & Protein goals and still feeling this way, I'd pick up the phone and call your surgeon.
They know what's best for each of us post-op.

Thanks everyone for replying. I'm mildly dehydrated. It's been a huge struggle for me to get my Water in. I've always been a big water drinker - 1 1/2 to 2 liters a day - but now it makes me sick. I've pushed through today and forced myself to drink 60 ounces, which I'll make sure to do every day, it so I'm slowly improving and hopefully will be fine in another day or two. So thankful for all the support I find here!

I agree they are not the best choice that is why I haven't tried anything other than Water and coffee. I was just curious as if anyone has tried them. I will try the Protein Shakes and see if that helps. I have lost 80 lbs so far and I am not going to do anything to hurt my sleeve. Thanks for the advice.

Unfortunately it is way too soon to reintroduce carbonation and for many carbonation is off limits forever. You could try a caffeine supplement (bodybuilding.com) but if I were you, I would consider B-12 shots.

Those things always tasted nasty and I saw no point in drinking them; they are pure chemical crap. You're supposed to be looking for more "whole" foods after surgery. I was told if it's something your great-grandparents wouldn't recognize or understand, then you shouldn't be eating/drinking it.
I'd got with green tea or even coffee if you need something with a bit of caffeine in it. At least those are better for you than the absolute nasty crud in energy drinks.
Or try a Protein bar since that would also have some carbs in it for quick energy too.

All of the above answer are things you need to take into check into. I'm 6 weeks post op and still find I have this issue sometimes (especially first thing in the morning). I ask my doctor and they didn't seem too conceded. I'm just taking it slow and listening to my body.

Oh wow I feel so bad for you. I agree that it is the Fluid from the hospital IV's but the timing really sucks. My Doc took me off my thyroid pills for a short time at 6 weeks out because the blood test came back high. I gained 7 pounds in 4 days. It is so frustrating when you do everything right, but you still pay the price. Hang in there! Long term this is just a speed bump.

Cocaine and hookers...
Oh wait...
Never mind...

Let's see how this goes... I've never created a thread on here only replied... Hope this works Lol.
Any Gold Coast / Brisbane people?

@@denisa
dense Protein (chicken et al)
must be chewed slllllowly and thoroughly eaten slow
teeny pieces only
(of course all food should be eaten, chewed in small pieces)
these foods can "feel" stuck
I THINK that's a fallacy
nothing actually, literally gets/is stuck
just a bad uncomfortable feeling
Cookies, chocolate, Protein Bars, popcorn? ?
all those yummy things that are sliders
they unfortunately go down the system way too easy
don't, won't feel stuck
we need to avoid them
you can eat too much too easily
calories, calories, and more calories
i don't really remember when i was able to eat bits of all foods
at your time period of 3.5 months i was eating more variety,
many people (newbies et al) are scared/upset they will never eat certain yummy stuff again
Not true - you will be able to eat a teeny bite of all foods
(but it should be calculated in MFP or wherever you are recording foods)
in my case, i choose to abstain at times from my favorite foods
it can be tooo hard for me to be teased with a small amount of something i love
rather not have any
Prilosec - i have taken since day 1
doc has no intention of taken me off them
no prob with that
good luck
keep up the good work
20 lbs down!!!
can we say WooHoo!!!

Just want to say this, because I am shocked (and sad) that you're eating things like bread, Cookies, pizza and other horrible things just 3.5 months out.
You should not be eating any of that. You should be eating healthy proteins, veggies and complex carbs. You can eat anything sure, and eventually could reincorporate things like a slice of pizza or a cookie for special occasions... but right now? All you are doing is ruining the time right after the sleeve to throw out all of the bad-for-you food and eating habits and relearn how to eat healthy foods.
All patients just about can lose weight for the first year or so even eating total crap like that. But the real reason to have the surgery is to give yourself time to start over - remove the aching hunger and the lack of Portion Control (the sleeve does this) and you can rebuild healthy eating habits from the ground up. If you don't do this, and continue to eat crap foods more often than not, then eventually your body adjusts to the small portions and the hunger comes back (especially since you've already introduced all those carby/sugary bad-for-you foods this early) and you will regain the weight. And you'll bemoan the fact that the sleeve failed you. But it didn't fail. YOU will, by not taking this time to stop eating crap foods and get a healthy eating pattern installed when you had the chance. Don't let that happen to you after all the hard work and major surgery!!
As far as food getting stuck? You're either eating too fast, not chewing it up enough, or eating too much. Measure/weight your food, chew until it is mush, and take some time doing it.
And I was off PPI within 3 ish months. I think most docs I've read want you off of them by 6 months at the longest. You should not be taking them long-term (especially with studies coming out showing an increase in Alzheimer's and kidney damage with long-term usage).

10 days out , just what i needed thxs.

No, I haven't.
I was advised to get Sustagen powder. I got the unflavoured one, so I can add it to anything I can have, mainly yoghurt, Soups, juice.
I find it very agreeable to my recovering stomach
