Hi all!! I have to attend a wedding next weekend that will make me 4 weeks out... what should I do about food? ? Has anyone had this problem?? Should I just bring a shake with me??

Hey all! I just got sleeved on Friday 9/29 so I am on day 2. Feeling pretty good. I have some pain where the incisions are and some gas pains. I have been burping a lot so that's good! Can't wait to get skinny!!

I was sleeved on 9/12 and feel great! For the last fifteen years or so, other than the last six weeks, my husband and I would eat a big Sunday Breakfast together. Today we were able to get back to that tradition, but for me, it was one scrambled egg instead of three, with no toast or bacon.
What a difference in my mindset! As it turns out, it wasn't ever about the quantity of food! It was about the company and siting down to a meal together and having a nice conversation. I'm just as satisfied now as I ever was with a huge plateful of food.

I'm three months out, and still have issues with a lot of food the doctor says I can eat. There are days when all I can eat is string cheese, and sometimes Soup. chicken is not my friend 95% of the time!
I take an antacid as prescribed, but I'm seriously considering adding a gas-x tablet to every day just to avoid feeling like crud every single time I eat.

I’m taking two weeks off, just about done with the first week. After that I’m working from home for 4 more because of the nearly hour drive to my office.

generally Hair loss happens if you are not getting enough Protein. Everyone I know swears by the biotin... but just remember you are not going to absorb the full dose. I am little over 2 months since my surgery and my hair is not falling out. There are so many different factors that go into the hair loss aspect. But hair is not a big deal to me. if i go bald they make really cute wigs. NOT having to shop at lane byrant is so worth having to snake my drains.

I am about 14 weeeks out and started Hair loss at 12 weeks. I was sleeved almost six years ago and that's exactly when it started then too but only lasted about a month then stopped.

I waited 3 weeks. some people don't wait as long but I felt like at 3 weeks, I was ready...I put a pillow under my tummy and it was comfortable that way...

It is not a strange question, seems totally reasonable. I would say have sex as soon as you feel like it, and find a position that feels comfortable for you. I felt like I had a C section all over again with my surgery, so I would not want to do anything that pulls on the incisions. Also, of course keep in mind that sex does not have to be limited to PIV Get creative!

I'm wondering how long people waited to have sex again post-surgery? (My husband is the one wondering more than me...) I know everyone is different, but I'm just curious.
Sorry if it's a strange question, but sex is a part of life!

a pressure cooker is also a good way to cook meats so they're tender and you end up with broth, too. Before surgery, I made hot beefs with a small roast, onions and peppers, and portioned it with the broth into small containers. I did something similar with a chicken. They've been a real help!

Hi all!!! Congratulations on your new journey. I was just sleeved Thursday so I’m 2 days post op. I was wondering did everyone hit there Protein and fluids? I have been drinking the shakes one oz at a time I tried to put protein in Jello and I couldn’t get it down. Just looking for some way to help thank you

so ladies I was informed from my provider that if the prenatal pills have all the required amount of of Vitamins that we need daily there's no problem in taking them soooooo relieved

I was released on Wednesday and today Friday I was finally able to poop, just try to drink as much liquid as possible slowly and take your stool softener pills and you Protein Shake that had always helped me to poop! And I felt in heaven once I was able to poop!

I felt the same way. Didn't take much to become teary eyed, but within 2-3 days, I was much better. I just surrounded myself with family and friends and tried to get up and move as much as I could. Good luck to you!

Hiii guys!!! I did it! Got sleeved on Tuesday 9/19 it was a pretty short procedure Of want say 1hour and half. I was sent home yesterday afternoon. I do feel a little uncomfortable due to the incisiones another then that, I've been able to talorate my liquid (water,broth, Jello, teas). One other discomfort is the urge to poop and I can't. Other then that I'm doing awesome!

I had gastric sleeve surgery in April 2017, Its been 5 months and I have embarrassing gas, can just be walking anywhere and have to fart, work,I'm shopping ect.. have tried gas x , tums ect with no results, it's not painful just embarrassing. Any suggestion ? HW 290 SW 250 CW 186 GW 175.
