  1. I have noticed the same thing. I’m about 6 months out from my sleeve op and can eat about half of what I previously could (which to be fair was a lot!) My weight loss has stalled and I know it’s because of the type and amount of food I eat. I saw my doctor recently and they recommended getting back to basics and focusing on protein and water intake to get back on track. They didn’t seem concerned about the pouch stretching. Good luck with your continued weight loss!

    Protein powder

    I like the clear protein from MyProtein as it comes in a lot of flavours and helps me to stay hydrated while getting protein in. I like the cranberry one best.
  3. I had the same issue. It hurt (like being stabbed) if I bent over and I felt a a painful pulling sensation inside if I lay on either side for spell. I spoke to my surgeon at my 4 week check and he said it wasn’t uncommon to feel pain at the incision sites especially the two at the front and to give it time. I am now almost 2 months post op (22 Feb) and the pain is gone. Hope it eases for you soon.
  4. I’m not back at work yet but this is something that I’m afraid of too. Before surgery I would often skip meals because of jumping from one meeting to another. I’m hoping that meal planning and having plenty of ready to eat/drink options will help
  5. Hey BigAndTall, glad to hear that your surgery went well. Mine was also 22nd and I came home from hospital yesterday. I’m doing ok with water but the food/vitamins/meds regime is a bit challenging. It seems like I need to be constantly sipping on protein shakes or water. And fit the liquid meds in too. I’ve written a schedule for it so hopefully that will help. I have some pain around my incisions but it’s getting easier every day

    Feb sleeves unite!

    Thanks guys. Did some laps in the hospital and feeling much better now. I’m meeting the dietitian tomorrow and then going home on Saturday. Feeling much more hopeful now.

    Feb sleeves unite!

    Had my surgery yesterday and feeling pretty rough today. The gas is definitely the worst part. I’m on fentanyl patches and a drip. I’ve been walking to and from the bathroom in the hospital to try and get the gas moving but nothing yet.

    Feb 22nd for me. Looking forward to the end of the LRD and feeling hungry all the time.
