I see were I'm getting off track and my mindset has changed since early recovery. Thanks for reminding me of the basics of the "whole" reality of having this done. A reset is in order and a mental one is most important. Thank you!

Sleeve Oct 2024. Band remove March 2024. Did all pre & post instructions, After solid eat stage I can eat large amounts of food without feeling full. For example, 3 turkey wraps with cheese and lettuce, had a T Bone for Thanksgiving. I'm stalled right now and don't know if drinking more water will help. Dr said need to loss 15% the first 3 months which is 56lbs, I'm only at 10%. With the band I could feel the restriction up high but now it's like relearning how to feel full, it's in my belly not my throat like before. I wish doctor would have use a smaller bougie, he uses 40's Last visit the nutritionist said "He does not do revisions" like to warn me. 383 start now 344 Need to be 325 by this month.

Thanks, it passed without coming up. I guess I'm still getting use to the feeling of being full with the sleeve. I now know how it feels and when to stop. Start puree today after Dr. visit.

I ate too much this morning, yogurt and cottage cheese. Feel like I could throw up, can I should I ? Will I hurt my sleeve?

Start full liquids today. I read one person say restrictions don't really show up until your on regular food again.

Sleeve done Sept 5th, sipping everything no problem. Feel no restriction thus far on clears. Monday I start full liquids. I do feel a slight fullness with 3 oz of water lower down I guess in my new pouch.

Thank you, you have lost 52lbs in 2 weeks? Pre and post diet? Still on liquids?

Sleeve Sept 5th and need to know which supplements and vits folks are taking. It's hard to find a one a day or all in one.

My understanding is hydration is primary concern 1st week. Sip sip sip all clears no protein until 5 days out?

Talked with surgeon Monday 8/26. Asked all kinds of questions about restriction and hunger. He assures me I won't be hungry and he uses a 40 bougie so not like some with 30-36. I just hoping I can get thru the 1st week post op.

Is that restriction normal or does it depend on size of the sleeve? My doctor is going with a 40. I start my liver shrinking diet tomorrow. I loss almost 12 lbs last time.

Band removed in March surgery in Sept. Started in 2008 with first band.

I didn't know it was a pouch per say but I guess it is with the small turn at top of stomach.

Thank you, with the band I lost 100 lbs but blow it out by overeating. Throwing up causing slips etc. I want to feel some restriction and hoping it will be better for hunger that part of stomach is removed.

Just received surgery date Sept 5th. Super nervous. Had band removed in March, had 3 total. Question? How does it feel in terms of restriction? I'm totally aware of how the band felt but does the sleeve have restriction or more of a full feeling and less hunger? I'm really nervous since I don't plan on having another type bypass in the future, I hope.
