I wanted to look nice & im elated w/ my 10-12 lbs WL I've always worn 6" heels, bcuz of my profession, even @ 290 lbs( my heaviest) but i new gravity & my new stomach wouldnt agree w/ that @ 13 days post opp, so i wore a cute outfit & my 2" wedges... well after the meeting i went by Walmart & picked up a few things, then had to take my neighbor to run an errand & by time i made it home my stomach had swollen enough for my family members to notic & i was feeling horrible, not in excruciating pain but a dull pain in the bottom of my stomach abouve the groin area... DO ANYONE THINK I MESSED SOMETHING UP? Well i took my pain meds & n bed now watching 600lb life w/ feet elevated!!! I FELT BACK TO NORMAL LIKE DAY 5 Post opp, but we hv to be careful, we are still healing on the inside!!! HMU

    Good morning! You sound like me, iwas wondering where all the pain & throwing up was, by day 5 i was doing everything except driving YOU ARE GOING TO BE VERY HUNGER! PHYSICAL HUNGER, not head hunger! When you do taste a drop of food, it's going to melt in your mouth, no atter what it is or who prepared it! I did my 2 wk liquid w/ about 85% success , I skipped the puree & im moving on to soft solids, the intense hunger was killings me, im reading the post where people say thet not hungry & have to make themselves eat & drink! I be. Like, thats a lie!! Oh yeah get ready for the constipation!!! P.s try not to let any one cook or bring any fast food around you! Dont go in pubic for at least 10 days, the temptation of food is like the devil! I noticed sinc my surgery, just simply watchin tv , that 4 out of 5 comercials are food commercials! Look bottom line you may feel good but it takes time to heal! Be very careful & make good decisions within your preop diet! From what i hear, a leak can be life threatening!!! Im now 12 days p.o. & im ONLY 12lbs down & im on liquids & soft small solid bites, appx. 3-4 bites, & hiccups is the sign of fullness , also an over all back & chest discomfort & lots of heartburn! Get some women 1 a day gummies, u will look forward to one every day

    Girl, i can drink or sip @ least 5oz ( equivalent to 10-12 medium sips appx. the size of a Jim Bean whiskey glass) wit not much problem, as long as i pat my chest in the manor of a baby feeding, to get a burp up! Solids are different, i ate 4 bites if my friends chineese food yesterday & suffered greatly! But other softer food, i hv no problem with, for example, yesterday i went to a watch Party !!Go cowboys, i ate 1/3 slice pizza & brought my own non alcoholic beverage, no problem! Your body will let you know what your limits are. I think it depends on the individual, I was never one with a weak stomach b4 surgery, & I believe the people who are throwing up alot really aren't following their diet like they suspose to,because it requires you to be extremely hungry &everyone cant handle that , but I guarantee we have had the same quality of work as in tha us!!! What hospital were you in ? Who was your doc? Did you see me?

    I'm in the same boat! I was sleeved in TJ, MX a day after you and not counting pre-op loss I've only lost 5 lbs since my surgery date. I am on the lower end of BMI so will take it as I won't be one of those losing 7+ lbs a week. As of yesterday I have felt like I can drink or even have a cup of creamy Soup in like 15-20 mins with no issues. From all I've read people say it takes them up to 2 hours to finish a Protein shake so I'm concerned that it all of a sudden doesn't seem I have to go super slow. How are you finding it like in terms of how long it takes to drink a cup of creamy soup, etc? I have not even once felt like I was going to throw up. Not sure if should be grateful or concerned.

HONESTLY my weight loss has been slower than ive been reading on other patients post but oh well any loss is better than any gain!
