    UPDATE:

    Just as I posted this I finally threw up. It was a green thick mucous-y vomit, and I feel better. Is it possible that there is some kind of blockage down there that caused this? Should I be worried? Do I need to call my surgeon?

    This is the first time I've vomited since surgery. I was sleeved 8 days ago.

    I think that might just be "frothing". I had the first week (i'm 4 weeks post-op) but it didn't make me throw up. When ever I need to burp but can't I always sit forward with my elbows/forearms on my knees and that helps SOOOO much! Hope you're feeling better.

    I've been the same weight for an entire week and I'm frustrated! I was just sleeved on 5/31 and including pre-op (2 weeks liquid) I'm down 22 lbs. 15 of those were from the pre-op diet. I'm doing everything by the book so I can't understand why I'm stuck. Anyone have advice?

    (I'm a once a week weigher, not daily)

    Thanks in advance!

    BTW, I just found this old article from a previous thread that sheds some light on the stall.

    Thank you for this post, and congrats on your success thus far!

    I am having my sleeve surgery on Wednesday, May 24 and plan to take advantage of the Memorial Day long weekend to aid in my recuperation.

    My surgery is TOMORROW!!! I also thought using the long weekend to recoup was a great idea! GOOD LUCK!!

    I had sleeve and gallbladder removed at the same time. No issues at all. So glad I did.


    Thanks for this!! I was wondering if the two procedures could be done together. I got approved a few weeks ago and am scheduled for May 23rd. I've suffered from GERD for 10+ years, off and on but the last 2+ years the pain made me question if it was something else.. and after explaining the symptoms to my nutritionist she suggested it might be my gallbladder. The pain has just progressed and I've even had clay like stool. I'm having an endoscopy on Thursday and will request my gallbladder be checked as well... hopefully it can all be cleared before May 23rd!!
