African American Sleevers



Recommended Posts

Hey I was sleeved on 11/12/12 and I have been able to get down a lot of stuff it almost seems like I didn't get it at if it wasn't for the amount I eat I would think this whole surgery was a fake lol. My surgon does not recommend a liquid diet after surgery pass a day or 2 if your body can take & my body has taken alot . Let me know if anyone else can relate ;0)

I was this same way right after surgery for about the first two weeks I thought I had stretched my sleeve b/c I was able to eat and drink with no problem. Well I am now a month out and I can't eat anything I was trying to eat some steamed shrimp and was only able to eat 2 large shrimps b4 I couldn't eat any more. The thicker the food is the harder it is to eat a lot I can't even eat an entire boiled egg now. I was told the reason you can eat more earlier on is b/c your stomach is still healing. Hang in there you will eventually feel that your surgery was done sometimes I get upset and say man I wanted to eat all of that but then it hits me and I say the reason I had this surgery was so I don't eat all of that. I really hope this helps you.

Lucky you! I feel like this liquid diet is killing me and I am supposed to go until the 26th my surgery was on the 7th...I confess I have had a few bites of very soft things I just had I chew it to mush and I was fine. If I see one more Protein Drink I am going to scream it is making me nauseous just thinking about one....

Hi....I am new and just need to vent...

I was sleeved 10/10 and after two bites I am full and can't get the Protein in without getting nauseous. I am very weak and am hopeful this will pass. Frustrating!

It will get easier I am still working on getting in my protein via shakes. I have never taken in the 60grams yet and I was sleeved on the 7th.I find I can take a little more each day.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
