Lol a couple people I know who've had the surgery were jealous too. I threw up for 3 days straight, you wouldn't have been jealous over that aspect lol. But I'm about done week two and still on very thin liquids. Just started have about 3 baby bites of puree! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Wow that would make a lot of sense. I didn't know about the boogie! Thank you! I've actually asked him about three times and he says he makes them much smaller now then what he used to due to people needing revisions and our bodies can handle smaller stomachs. I'm not feeling sick anymore but it was definitely different then most of the recoveries I've heard about. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I've had this a few times. And I had the anxiety too. Not being able to eat but feeling starved. This happened in the grocery store. I wanted everything and felt so hungry, but I knew I couldn't physically even eat. I'm trying to eat sustaining food now that I'm on purees. It's still comes in waves but one bite of oatmeal or guacamole and the anxiety goes away. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I was starting the first week. I kept telling everyone I was hungry and I was so dizzy. I was eating pills like it was food. But the difference was, I had no desire to eat, I was just hungry!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I get full on like 2 small bites of mashed potato. I think it sits different in different people. Also, I can eat a lot sooner after mashed potatoes than I can denser food like peas and oatmeal. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

My NUT was exactly the same way. I was stressing about every little bite and she told me to stop killing myself over a spoonful of food. She said it's too stressful and ultimately that would lead to more weight gain! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Wow I didn't know it could cause weight gain down the road, thanks for that info. I'm struggling with this too. Once or twice I've drank my meals and had no room for nutrients. One time I ate and drank and got sick. I have to break this bad habit and I think it'll be the hard way for me. Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I'm two weeks out and it's less of a feeling "full" and more of an "I need to stop eating now" feeling. I can barely eat anything at all rn tho. I don't even have to try, I know I wouldn't be able to eat a bite of banana. But everyone is so different. Withing 4 days my mom was calling her surgeon to want to move on and eat "regular" food. (side note: she's doing really well, we're all just very diffferent). Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Hey all, I was wondering if anyone's doctor told them he/she made your stomach "very small"? My doctor told me this many times and I've asked what he means and he said he's making them much smaller now. He said I should only be able to fit about 2 ozs. My mom had the same surgery 5 weeks before me and he tells her it's 4ozs. She also had a ridiculously easy recovery. I guess I'm just confused why he did this. My recovery IS awful and I can basically eat nothing. I just hope this feeling goes away. I feel my body starving itself. 2ozs of puree every 2—3 hours... Very hard!

This happens to me too, I thought it was an exchange of food for air. Usually after food (still on puree) gets all the way in, air comes up and I burp!! I think it's also swelling and too big of bites. Just not used to the change yet Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

I'm 8 days post op and I'm having the same thoughts. I try to tell myself is not rational! I think it's hard to wrap the mind around such a big thing our bodies just went through. I'm going to stay positive, as the weight comes off regularly and I know how to control my food I think I'll be feeling better. As of right now, I just can't eat!!

I didn't understand this either after first. 5 days post op and I get it tho, the Water seems to have air in it that doesn't sit right with the new tummy. Once the air and water do an exchange it's fine but it's pretty uncomfortable. I still can't eat but water is tricky. And once you get a little dehydrated, your body goes into deprivation mode and you must drink!!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App

Sorry to hear that! I always suggest small small exercises to people who have limited mobility. Start small, maybe lift the remote 40 times in on TV show or whatever can be a challenge to build on for you. Lifting legs up and down or having a small weight next to you. There are tons of "TV exercises." as far as good goes... As most of us can attest to, protein protein protein. If that's not working I'd ask the Dr, maybe something else is off, going on?

I was sleeved the same day! I'll start by saying that I'm so jealous. The pain I expierenced on day 2 was INSANE. Today on day 3, I am doing a little better but very uncomfortable. I vomited about 25 times in the hospital and thank goodness, none at home yet. I tried on tiny half a tea spoon of Jello... Nope. I crave Water and actually had a tiny bit of diluted apple juice and vegetable broth. I never imagined it was going to be this hard for me. My mom who is 36 years older than me was ready to go out and the doctor let her transition to regular food within 2 weeks.... I did wanna tell you tho, for pain, what's working for me best is ibuprofen, then percocet, then ibuprofen, then percocet. They took me off of diludad after the first day because my gas was so bad they needed to change my meds, then put me on liquid ibuprofen and it was a miracle. I notice that too much percocet hurts the tummy tho, probably because there is no food cushion. But I'd def ask the doctor about ibuprofen!! Sent from my SM-G900T using the BariatricPal App
