  1. I am curious as to what it was like to loose weight after pregnancy?? I had my gastric sleeve surgery June 2020 and I am currently planning on trying to get pregnant around November-December...My only concern is what is it like to loose the weight all over again after giving birth????
  2. So I am almost 6 months post op VSG down 80pds. I’ve noticed sex has been hurting a little each time and I’m unsure if it’s because I’ve lost so much weight there’s no more meat there to excuse me but there’s no more meat there to protect me when it gets intense...I’ve also haven’t gotten much of a sex drive back...will it ever come back?
  3. I’m 6 months post op and I’m afraid I’m loosing too much weight and I sometimes feel like I’m either eating too much or not enough. How do I slow down the weight loss??
  4. I’m 4 months post op and I’ve been experiencing headaches and some nausea this past week...I started a 4 week work out program and I’m 3 days in and I also feel dizzy when I’m stretching with head rolls...I’ve been drinking pedialyte and more water and I’m not sure if it’s dehydration or not...Can anyone else relate?

    Help! Hair Shedding

    I myself have heard of that as well once you start rogaine your stuck on it?
  6. Im not sure if anyone else has had these difficulties but it doesnt hurt to ask. I am 3 weeks post op about to be 4 this thursday. I have just started stage 2 of my diet plan last week friday to soft/mushy foods. Ive been experiencing some difficulties swallowing even with the smallest bites and yes i do chew until its practically gone and nothing to really swallow. I am unsure whether or not i am full or satisfied. i am not familiar with what it should feel like to be full or satisfied. it doesnt feel like its stuck but it just isnt very comfortable to eat. its a feeling i find hard to explain. its starting to bring me down because im not comfortable eating. Ive also been experiencing shortness of breath from about a week post op to now. I have had some issues last summer with having heat induced asthma but my inhaler hasnt been helping much either. I noticed in week 2-2 1/2 post op it started to get better and i was just about to finish the liquid stage of my diet plan. once i started my soft/mushy food stage it had come back and i have a hard time standing to help my cook in the kitchen i get short of breath and have to hurry to my room where the AC is full blast to help me calm down and catch my breath. It isnt like i cant breath at all it feels like when your outside on a humid day for too long and your having a hard time breathing normal you end up noticing your yawning more to get that deep breath you feel might relief yourself or trying to take deep breaths to relief yourself. and lastly ive been experiencing some stomach pain in my actual stomach (my pouch) before realizing i have to use the bathroom. is that considered dumping syndrome? usually i dont experience it until about 2-3 hours after lunch and it happens once a day except for yesterday i did not need use the bathroom apart from not be too expressive but to urinate. i know my water intake and protein intake hasnt been the best since my post op and i did just start my iron supplements alone with other vitamins 3 days ago but has anyone else experienced these feelings?
  7. Hey I’m 5 weeks post op today...And I was curious if anyone is still getting hunger cravings even after a meal or even in to the night?

    Started soft foods today

    I bought a gastric sleeve cookbook to help with recipes and it literally gives me recipes for each stage of a diet plan and gives weekley recipes depending how many weeks out of surgery and helps tell you what to avoid, limit, and stock up on and so much more i highly recommend it !!😊 It is on amazon and not pricey at all!!

  10. Thank you for the possible idea of what it may be but I do know it is not a hiatal hernia my mom just had one removed a few months ago...

    3 weeks PO and no weight loss

    I had my surgery just a day before you and reading what you have gone through i myself have had 1 week so far of a stall and just started going down again 1 or 2 pounds but i also experienced nausea well not so much nausea but like a burn or acid reflux with the premier protein so i have muscle milk protein powder and mix it with unsweetened almond milk and its not bad but you gave me a good tip with the unflavored protein powder.
