I was sleeved on 5/24 and I'm going a little nutty trying to figure out if i'm doing it right. I constantly wonder if I'm eating too much or not enough. I'm pretty good about getting in all of my liquid and Protein is pretty good. I drink one Protein shake with 1% milk which gives me 29g of Protein. I also eat some greek yogurt because I was feeling hungry. I'm so terrified that i'm not going to lose any weight and I think i'm driving my husband crazy with all of my worrying.

The only thing to worry about this early out is healing, resting, and getting fluids in so you don't dehydrate. Sounds like you're doing fine. There are many changes to adjust to, and you just need to listen to your body. If you're hungry, eat! And drink constantly if you can. Trust me, you are definitely going to lose weight, so don't worry about eating too much because you can't, you're tummy won't let you!

Hi Newmommy05,

MB20mom is right! Right now you should be resting and trying to stay hydrated. I tried to at least get as much protien in the form of liquid as possible. But right now you are still swollen. Don't worry about the weightloss....it will come automatically. The sleeve is great!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! Good luck.

You are doing great. You will start to recognize the new sensations of your body, just be patient with yourself. Its a weird experience to get back in touch with how your body really feels, but you will get there!

Another "Ditto All The Above" and just wanted to add ... you are doing great with the Protein. For many of us, that was the big worry in the beginning since we couldn't get down the shakes.

Many of us drove our husbands, wives, significant others crazy. If it feels like too much, just come out here. We've all either been there, are there, or planning on being there. So, we can support one another.

I too drove my hubby nuts. I had a couple of very blue days - crying, very irritable...but that is in the past now. These girls know what they are talking about. You need to sip your liquids, 1-2 oz per 15 minutes...broths are good and soothing I found. I started in with some low fat campbells cream of chix Soup by the middle of the 2nd week and that was fabulous. fell in love with it. You will do fine and the weight will start to come off. At one point, I was loosing a pound a day, it was amazing! It has slowed down now at 4 weeks post op but I've already lost 20 lbs and I am estatic about that. Best of Luck to you in your journey. This website is the best place to go for questions, advice and just to air your feelings!!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
