I had GERD and it has progressed to Barrets Esophagus. I was sleeved on 4/12/18. I haven’t had an issue since surgery. I have been able to come off of my meds. I will have an EGD in a few weeks to see how everything is going.

Premier!

I had surgery on Thursday and returned to work on Monday. It was very tiring but I made it. (I have a desk job.)

I have had issues with constipation too. I have found that taking 3 Colaces a day and two doses of Benefiber M-F keep me regular. I tried to stop the Benefiber and had to start back. (I was the opposite before surgery)

I am nine weeks out and have been stalled for a little over a week. However the scales have moved today. I am not overeating on the carb side. I actually think I wasn’t getting enough calories. Thanks for all the input everyone!
-
Good to know! Hopefully my weight loss will start again soon! Congrats on what you have lost so far!
-
Wow! You have lost a lot of weight! Congrats!

I had surgery on April 12th. I could tolerate a protein shake like that as well. However, I recognized a huge difference when migrating to food. I have tolerated all food very well but I am satisfied with a small amount. I still drink a shake on the way to work every morning. (commute is 40 minutes)

I have lost twenty-four pounds since having surgery on April 12th. I have hit a stall. (I am not discouraged. I will succeed with my weight loss. This is me cheering myself on! I need this some times!) I had this surgery to be healthier for myself and my family. I will continue to eat healthy and keep my journals. I plan on mixing my diet up this week and seeing if that helps. (I am having a hard time eating breakfast due to time constraints at work. I have been drinking a protein shake and having coffee. What do you eat?) Are any of you at a stall?
-
Bowel movements are few and far between for me. (which is totally different than before surgery) I had to break down and take Milk of Magnesia Sunday. I did not have any progress so I took some more Monday. I thought I was going to die when I did go. Sorry for the TMI!! So I am on Benefiber, Colace, Miralax and Milk of Magnesia.
-
I actually gained weight last week too. Don't get discouraged! I am not! (at least not yet lol)
-
I may have to try that. Thank you! Good luck to you as well!

I am four weeks post op. I am having a really hard time getting all of my liquid and protein in. I am not hungry so I don't think about it. I am trying to get on a schedule so that I can do better. Any suggestions?

Nectar Medical is tasteless. It is really good in Crystal Light water mixes.

My surgery was 4/12. I haven't experienced any vomiting or nausea. I am tolerating all foods (that I have tried) well. I started my soft diet today. I am not hungry and just eat when it is time to eat. I haven't had a lot of pain and what I have had has been around the incision sites. I haven't taken any pain medication. The liquid diet was hard. Best Wishes to you!
