I've Finally Did It...why Am I Hungry?
Swimmer replied to loving the new me's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm about eight weeks and have been hungry for the first time and am wondering if I should take two acid reducers a day? I loved never feeling hungry the first few weeks and was hoping that continued. -
Dry Heaves And Waking Up In Sweat
smilebig2012 posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved 4/10 and I thought I was feeling a lot better. Yesterday I got out of the house and ran errands. Felt good, slept 8 hours and felt like crap today. Barely sipping and dry heaves. Can't get my energy up. Today is one week, don't know if I need additional vitamin or something. Anyone have this? Protein first then water? I dry heave and I feel like I am back on day 4.... -

4 weeks post-op tomorrow and still having pain
LindafromFlorida replied to kimby77's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You may have pulled something at the gym. I would slow down on that for sure. They tell us no lifting. I remember about 4 weeks out lifting something and had pain for 2 days. -
Gastric sleeve with hiatal hernia
mrsdoubtfire replied to NjGirlInNcWorld's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
To my surprise, my doctor said he repaired and moderate hiatal hernia while he did the sleeve. I was not told to vary the post op diet in any way because of this. So far, I've been great and have not had any issues. I'm 2 weeks post op and my surgeon is, in my opinion, very liberal on what I could eat post op. I hope this helps. Good luck!- 1 reply

Getting Enough Liquids In ? Help!
Need-a-Sleeve replied to HattieSue's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am drinking Isopure Grape Frost with 2 oz. grape juice mixed in. Very tolerable & I am getting both protein & fluids in. Yes, I know grape juice is high in carbs but 2 oz to 40 oz fluid is ok for my first week of clear. -
2.5 Weeks post op
JenniB replied to skinnyminnie32's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hi, Minnie! I was banded 8/17. I was also told to keep up with the walking. I can increase the walking as I feel up to it. I will be considered "healed" at 6 weeks post-op and can start an excercise routine at that time. Especially NO abdominal muscle use! Happy walking! :-) -
Curious if anyone has experience with this... The last few weeks about every few days or so I get sick to my stomach.. like not puking (feels like it tho!) and not necessarily the other end kinda sick.. just realllllly icky feeling. Tonight it was about 4-5 hours after I ate like normal all of a sudden I got chills and literally felt like i was going to die. I sat on the bathroom floor for almost 30 mins thinking I was going to throw up. My whole body was freezing, but I was sweating at the same time. Any other time I feel fine, just every few days about 4-5 hours after dinner its like BAM. I can drink Water and it goes down just fine unless its mid-sick feeling then it just makes me feel worse. Its not like im not chewing or eating to fast and its been happening a lot lately. I usually will take a gas-x chewable thingie but last few times it hasnt done anything for it. My whole body hurts from my stomach to my shoulders my lower back throbs.. its very odd to me. For those of you who are gonna ask, no I'm not pregnant I had a sudden feeling that was possible so i ran out and got a stick and it was negitive. sooooooooooooooooo anyone experience this? =/

Definitely definitely negative? I spent days in the backyard holding tests up to the sunlight, trying to convince myself I couldnt see a second line, but it was there, just very faint. Otherwise, I dont know, I wonder if you're blood sugars are all messed up from eating less or something? Just a guess. Its the only thing I could think of that would make you shaky and sick like that - perhaps a small Protein snack two or three hours after your meal and see if that helps? I'd see the doctor about it otherwise.

i am only 2 weeks post-op but I am getting the same thing it has only happened 3x but I think i ate mash potaotes really thin but I guess not thin enought and soup with pastina and it happened then. I am associating it with food differences, But it really hurts and I do sweat I think because of the pain. Today it happened and I am not sure why this time. but a couple of hours a some good belches and I felt better

Hey guys, I am a few weeks over my 5 month PO from VSG and let me tell you I have not really regretted this surgery. On sunday's, I allow myself a "cheat" day so I don't stall and it helps to drop me in lbs for some odd reason. On average, I am about 950-1150 calories a day and on a low-carb diet. Sometimes I feel like this is on target for where I should be, but then there are days where I feel sooo hungrrrryyy and but then my stomach is telling me I'm full. Where are you guys at with your progress? Stats are listed and are up to date.

Two Questions... I Should Already Know The Answer To.
Tif 2.0 replied to sabrina140's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Funny you should ask these questions, because I had the same questions, so after using my google fu skillz, this is what I found. Generally speaking, your stomach heals along the staple line in about 6-8 weeks, but for the stomach to heal enough to completely engulf the staples it can take anywhere from 3-9 months. This is one of the reasons Protein is so important. Protein aids the healing. Diabetes slows the healing process down as well. There is no way to know how far along you are unless you have an upper GI. -

Exercise for the New Sleevers
Thomas CPA replied to smallgirlsxthree's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Started back at gym at week 3. First two to three weeks were rough, lose a lot of muscle quick with rapid weight loss. I sweated a lot and stamina was low. Talked the PA and dietician, increased calories for additional calories burned, it helped get stamina back and sweating stopped. Around week 8, 5 weeks after returning to gym, my strength was back to pre surgery. Workout still basically, 1/2 hour treadmill running followed by 1 hour of resistance training, cardio workout, ab workout, mixture of all of the previous all depending upon what my personal trainer plans for me. -

I still have soooo many questions
awold0 replied to lcoll's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
1. Hair loss. This is very commen. There is a million posts on this. Mine started at 5 months and lasted till 9 months. It has stopped and now I am having regrowth. It will grow back. Take care of your hair by not brushing when wet. Get a soft brush. I limited my washing to 2 times a week during this period. I have long hair so I pulled it back a lot. Their is many people that took Biotin. I did not. 2.This should be looked at by your doctor. You don't want to have a stricture etc. 3. I actually have the same problem. My doc said the flinestones complete chewables are fine. I do have to still force myself daily. There is just something about them being yucky but we have to do it. 4. When I was at 4 months i ate about 600 calories a day. This is the normal to not be hungry. I now eat 1000 a day and was sleeved in July 2013. -

Veterans can you help me please?
kimberb replied to vannababyy22's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Maybe you should only weigh once a week. It seems that weighing everyday is not a positive for you. My home scale is always different from the doc's scale. I usually weigh myself before going into doc's office in whatever I'm going to wear. Then when I weigh at the office I know how much difference there is between the 2. For myself I always go by my home scale because that is the one I use daily. -
5 weeks post op no problem eating approved foods

Amount of food...Kinda freaking out!
snowkitten replied to snowkitten's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
So I realized something and wanted to add it in hopes it may prompt someone with information to respond... I always get this type of intense hunger right before my period. On 8/17 I started my period, last week I had this similar hunger and then soon started my period again (only lasted a few days). Now I have the hunger again and my normal back cramps have started. Which leads me to believe this is a 3rd period in one month. Is this normal? If this is usual it still disturbs me that I was starving even after eating and I was eating so much. Any tips? -

Ugh I cheated and feel crappy!
Sharpie replied to JoieDeBanded's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was so scared to damage my new band that I went strictly by the book. when I was cleared to eat solid foods I started with something easy like scrambled eggs, refried beans and any meat I ate was in a sauce or moist like chicken thighs. If you cheat, remind yourself why you are doing this, I even now after 2 years catch myself wanting to eat things like French fries or ice cream (my addiction) but after going through the pre-op phase, the post op surgical weeks on liquids ,the fills with days of liquids, I will be damned if I mess it up. Be strong and continue on the path of good health.
