kalimom, i have seen this statement a few times but i have no idea what it means, does "sits heavy" mean "im going to puke"? i mostly see it with respect to Pasta and rice and think is the sleeve a severe low carb diet for the rest of your life? at 7 mths out eating whatever you want is pretty impressive. i am thinking i will be terrified to eat for a bit. i had brain surgery a few years ago and eating made me throw up. i lost tons of weight because i was scared to eat, i think it was like 3 mths before i tried something other than canned fruit.< /p>

Great question' date=' I'm preop but I'm loading up on Protein now...locs falling out is not an option...hopefully someone can give us both some insight though.[/quote']

I am in the same boat. I loaded up on protein during my preop. I was sleeved on Monday June 3rd. I found in my research that as long as we get our proper amount of protein and Water, Hair loss should be minimal to nonexistent.

Sitting heavy means I can actually feel it sitting in my stomach sometimes it can cause nausea too but only if I eat too much of it. I don't do extreme low carbs it makes me cranky and I am half filipino I can't live without rice. I can eat pasta without issue but bread gives me the same feeling as rice unless it is toasted till crunchy.Eating what I want is of course relative to what I like to eat but I will try almost anything at least once.Spicy food makes me feel full very quickly and dense Protein I can only do a max of 3 ounces at one time.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
