Caring for 1 kidney

I wish I could get that much in!! How long did it take for you to start eating nuts again? I'm almost 6 weeks out & have not been able to eat meat either

Wasn't bad & has made a huge difference as far as being able to keep food down. Now I have to work extra hard not to over do it

They do an endoscopy & go through your stomach & inflate balloons to expand the narrowing.

Very interesting

Thank you!! It's a hard adjustment for sure

Yep! Was a stricture which got to the point of nearly anything going through. Was ballooned 3 days ago

Turns out I had a stricture & was ballooned 3 days ago to open it up. So if it continues, get your surgeon to check you out

I am so glad there is a medical reason, because I am miserable! My poor kids!

Thank goodness! Because I don't like the b*tch I have become. It helps to hear other people go through same thing. I'm so afraid I will be stuck like this. Today, I'm going to exercise when I feel frustrated , etc....hopefully tone it down .

Hangry is the perfect description of my mood. Like my kids want to give me a snickers bar based on the commercial joke [emoji23][emoji23]

Hi all. I'm nearly 6 weeks post sleeve. My weight loss is on point, I did have a complication (stricture) and was ballooned a few days ago after not being able to really eat without throwing up. I just feel like an emotional basket case. My mood is blah & everything sets me off mad. I have yelled at my poor kids more in the past few weeks than ever in their lives ( 14yr & 12yr olds). I do not like the person I am right now!! Is it from not dealing with my emotional relationship with food ? Lack of carbs ? Lack of calories ? Or am I really losing my patience & this is how I will be ? Anyone who has been through this? Please advise !! I had complications, but go back to work in 1 week, too. Thanks in advance!

Thanks! Sorry I am just now seeing this. I'm at 3 weeks today & still struggle. If I'm lucky I get one protein shake in per day. That's about the extent of my nutrition. If I eat just a few bites of soft food, it hurts & I feel pressure in my chest

Great information guys!! I will give it a try, it must be better than nothing. I'm struggling to eat so I need the supplementation more than anything right now

Good to know !!! Thx Any recommendations for oral supplements? I'm struggling with these chewables. Tomorrow I'm 3 weeks out & still not able to really eat, the vitamins make me wanna hurl

Hi all, having a very hard time with my daily vitamins .... has any body tried these and/ or recommend them ? Specific brand ?

I will try fairlife milk. Thanks !!

Hi all. I am new here & have not posted much. I need help. I am 10 days post gastric sleeve & can't seem to keep much down. I can keep water & thin liquids down, but that's it. I should be on puree but can't unless it's super watered down. I feel like I am getting maybe 150-200 calories a day in. I feel weak & tired all the time. Protein shakes are nearly impossible for me. Anyone have this experience? Any thoughts ? Tips ? Thanks in advance

Yes... small sips. I usually sip & hold the liquid in my mouth and slowly swallow the liquid. Otherwise I get severe chest pain & burp. I am POD 4
