I'm sleeved, 18 weeks post op & have dumped a few times. The worst was after drinking too soon after a meal. It was comparable to food poisoning. I get what you get as well, nausea, the sweats etc & I also get bouts of diarrhoea. So yes. Dumping is most certainly something sleeved patients get. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I still have 1 teaspoon of sugar in my coffee every day. I couldn't find a sweetener that I liked so I've been drinking it this way since day 1 post op & my NUT is fine with that. I'm 18 weeks post op & I've lost 58 lbs. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Surgery date 4th Oct Height 5'6 SW 255 CW 198 Total loss 57 lbs I wonder how many of you snack (ie how many meals a day?) and what is your calorie goal? I'm probably not getting enough calories and lately I've even been skipping breakfast and not eating until lunch. I'm tired and my arms and legs are aching. This is a sure fire sign that I need to get my butt in gear and my head back in the game. So happy to have found this thread. Everyone is doing so well.

Hi all I've been very slack the past month or so and have been skipping Breakfast. I generally have a coffee in the morning and don't eat until around late morning/lunch time. I'm 15 weeks post op and have been losing quite steadily since my op. I leave the house at 6am to start work at 7am and I have no interest in eating anything at that time. Does everyone here eat breakfast? If so, what do you eat? And have you found it hinders or helps your weight loss? I know everyone says breakfast is the most important meal of the day but I wonder if this rings true for weight loss patients. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@RussT If it makes you feel any better (cause misery loves company right?) I have been stalled for 1 month. And when I say stalled I mean 0 pounds lost..for 4 weeks. And I'm only 7 weeks post op. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Curious as to how you're going? Did your stall finally break? I'm 7 weeks post op and I've been stalled for 4 weeks. Everyone keeps telling me it'll start to come off again but I'm beginning to doubt it will. Tell me some good news. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Are you hungry, or are you just having the shake in the afternoon to stop you grazing? If so, I would definitely cut this out. It's a matter of learning to control your head hunger now. My nutritionists plan has stated not to eat a meal over 2 sittings. And to restrict the volume of each meal to half a cup. If I couldn't finish it within 20 minutes I was to stop eating. I'm now 7 weeks post op. I eat 3 meals a day, no Snacks. But I also don't get hungry. I think if you were feeling hungry it'd be different story. Do you not have a plan from your nutritionist?

I was still super low on energy at 3 weeks post op. Even walking around the supermarket left me a bit spacey and worn out. I did my first gym session (cycle class) at 5 weeks and felt fine. I know some people are against it and I dare not say the C word but you could try a slight pick me up (half a banana or something) about half an hour before your workout. It'll give you a bit of energy. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Really good. I recovered very well. Can eat pretty much anything (on my plan). But I struggle with Protein because I couldn't be bothered eating anything and I have to force myself. And for some reason no matter how much I drink I always feel thirsty. But otherwise I'm great. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Usually at least 1.5 - 2L (50-60oz). I know this isn't enough but I honestly don't know how I can get any more in. I sip all day but it hurts if I take too much in at a time. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

All the time. I get it drinking but it's also my full signal. My sister, who is also sleeved, sneezes when she's full. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It's been a sweltering 38 degrees here the last few days (in Australia) and I feel like I've had my drink bottle permanently attached to my lips. I'm not tolerating plain Water (no matter what temp) so I've been adding sugar free cordial and drinking that. But I always feel thirsty, and I feel like I'm literally drinking all day. Can anyone suggest anything that might help? It's not even officially summer yet. Aghhh. I'm 5 weeks post op, so still sipping...and sipping...and sipping.

@@Alexis99 I think I asked exactly the same question. I too was a sweet eater and I binged something chronic on sweet foods prior to getting sleeved. I was so afraid that I would be able to continue to binge post sleeve and that it would all have been for nothing. I'm only 5 weeks post op but I can say that I haven't touched anything sweet since I started my pre op diet, nor have I wanted to. I can't say this will always be the case but I do know that my frame of mind has changed. I've been through so much and I no longer want that food. I can't tell you which op to get but know that bypass patients don't always dump from sweet food. There are a large majority that don't, so don't let that sway you. Go with your gut. At the end of the day you will have to work equally hard no matter which surgery you choose. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

It wasn't until my 4th week post op that I started to feel normal again. I found going outside and sitting in the sun and getting some fresh air really helped me. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

That's 4.3 pounds per week. I know it's easy to compare yourself to others but you need to try and find some perspective. 52 pounds in 12 weeks is a lot of weight. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
