So I am 10 weeks post vsg and have had a massive headache for the last two days. Any suggestions on something that is safe to take to help? I have tried multiple essential oils but it’s not helping. Thanks in advance!!

Also like the fact that I am forced to tame a break between nuts because of having to shell them so I can’t eat them super fast. Yay!

Thanks!! ?

Okay, I had a small bag of pistachios and was super hungry so I ate a few. They tasted AH-MAZING!! So I ate some more and basically I’m addicted to them at the moment. Didn’t see anything saying I can or cannot have them (7 weeks post-op). Anyone have any ideas if these are okay or if I’m going to end up in the ER for eating these delicious green devils? :)

Thanks so much! I hadn’t read anything about people having this so I was concerned that something bad was possibly going on. :)

Hi! I had the Gastric Sleeve, haven’t ever actually thrown up just feel nauseous. Oh and nope no issues swallowing it’s just a weird pukey feeling. I also don’t feel overfill just eat three or four itty bitty meals per day as per the instructions I was given. It’s a mystery - lol!

I’m at 6 weeks and we are on vacation...stopped twice to eat yesterday and let me just say it sucked! Only because I couldn’t eat much and I was terrified of getting something then having a stomachache or dumping or something and we were driving 8+ hours so stopping immediately wasn’t a super convenient option. Luckily the eggs and couple of bites of whole wheat toast for breakfast went fine and the appetizer garlic chicken for lunch caused no issues. Whew! Lol. It’s a learning process and probably the hardest is not ordering something to drink since I can’t have liquids with my meal.

Does anyone else just feel icky all the time after surgery? Not debilitating but I just feel slightly pukey almost al the time. When I’m hungry, after I eat, in-between...I go about my day just fine only have this gnawing puke feeling constantly.

Thank you, thank you, thank you!! I super appreciate your reply it so hits home and helps me! How are things going for you with your surgery? I have almost a month out and while I haven’t lost what I consider an awesome amount of weight I just simply feel great - I used to be a huge binge eater and fast food junkie, I could absolutely not pass up French fries no matter how much I wanted to! I would eat massive amounts of unhealthy foods until I felt sick but then would just keep eating. I do not feel that way at ALL now! It’s so refreshing! I took my kid to McDonalds and got him a meal and got some unsweetened iced tea for myself and had absolutely zero desire to order something bad for myself and just went home and had some low fat cottage cheese and went on my merry way. It’s really helped me change my frame of mind and I’m so grateful for that. I was very nervous about eating in restaurants but honestly now I think it’ll be fine and am so happy!! Thanks again!

So just throwing out a little story...I am almost one month post-op and I haven’t lost a lot of weight but am so super happy I had this surgery (sleeve)! I used to binge eat until I felt physically sick for no reason. I would eat fast food almost daily at lunch (and of course hide this fact - like did I really think people don’t understand my ability to eat mass quantities when they look at me and my xxl body?? Who was I fooling other than myself??). Lol but seriously I have no desire to eat 2 entire meals from McDonalds now (even took my child there today and got him a meal and got an unsweetened iced tea for myself and was content and did not feel deprived or as if I was being cheated by not being able to have fries - one of my fav things ever in my former food life!). I feel like this surgery helped not only my weight loss journey but also my mental state. Very grateful and feel awesome. Hope others feel the same! Can’t wait to see what the future holds!!! ?

Me too!!! I drink lots of water and it’s only in the morning as well but it’s so weird!

I’m 3 weeks post op and haven’t lost anything this week and am so frustrated also...I am going to start measuring though that’s a great idea MrsGamgee! Hope this stall is super short lived...

Congrats!! Can’t WAIT til I can say the same! :)

I had the sleeve on Monday and came home last night. I have a massive headache that started in the hospital, the nurses did not seem concerned and just gave me painkillers. It’s still there only worse, I could not sleep a wink last night. Any suggestions what I can do/take to relieve this horrid pain??

So I am scheduled for gastric sleeve on Monday (woo hoo!), and am curious how others handle eating out when you get past the liquid and puréed foods stages. What do you eat? Do people drive you nuts by trying to make you eat more? Can you “hide” that you aren’t eating tons so other don’t ask nosey questions? Just wondering - thanks in advance!!
