I was sleeved 12/14/17. Everything went well, I recovered nicely and I have lost 99 lbs and my BMI is currently 23; weight 144lbs. However, I know for certain I’m not getting nearly enough calories / day. There are so many foods I can’t tolerate (mostly all meats) and I only eat 1/4 of what I put on my little kid plates that I’m still using since surgery. There is only one meal that I eat everyday that doesn’t bother me; it’s breakfast. Everyday, I eat 1 egg, 2 pieces of bacon, and 1 slice of toast and I feel fine. But anything else, I feel terrible after I eat. I get hungry but I feel so nauseous and bad after I eat, that I wished I hadn’t eaten. Am I eating too fast? I’m considering checking in with my surgeon to see if this is common or if I need to be checked out. Oh, I also have the worst problem with IBS. I notice that certain foods (Fried foods, Carbonation, anything breaded, and alcohol) sends me to the bathroom that there are times, I don’t feel I can hold it long enough to get to the restroom. Also, admittedly, I do have an issue that I’ve never been able to conquer waiting 30 mins before I drink anything. So I wonder if my stomach issues with eating could be caused by me trying to drink while I eat. If anyone has seen this before or knows what I could possibly be doing wrong, I would appreciate any advice you can give. Thanks! Diahanna

I’m about 18 months out op; I was sleeved 12/14/17 I’ve done really well; I had outpatient surgery, my recovery was relatively easy, at my one week follow up the nurses commented that I was recovering very well to only be a week out. However, I have found that a lot of foods I just can’t tolerate anymore. Most of them the effects are so bad they aren’t even worth the few minutes of reward eating them. Most meats are out except for seafood, and soft meats like beef liver, all fried foods cause the worst flatulence it’s not even worth the embarrassment. However, I had a salad last night, lettuce, cheese, egg, few croutons, and blue cheese dressing and I literally had to pull over on the highway on my way home to vomit. I’ll admit, I haven’t tried salads because I’ve tended to stay close to what I know I can tolerate but I didn’t expect that I’d be pulled over on the side of the road over a salad 18 months out. Is this abnormal? Was it the lettuce? (Which I suspect caused it.) And If anyone has any suggestion for flatulence, omg I would be forever in your debt. I don’t feel I can eat anything even working a 8hr shift because of it. It’s so embarrassing!!!! Help!!!!! Oh, before sleeve = 244lbs Sleeved 12/14/17 = 238lbs Today = 150lbs

Great job!

I was sleeved 12/14/17 so I’m about 15 months out and I have this same problem. I’m almost certain it’s the food. I notice it happens when I eat anything fried, carbonated beverages, or any foods high in sugar.
