This will be my first holiday post op, and I'm battling the desire for emotional eating due to stress of worrying about my daughter who lives in an area hit by last weeks tornado.

I'm going to visit her for the holiday and she wants me to cook all the Louisiana comfort foods of her childhood.

Hello,

This is my first time here. I haven't had my surgery yet. I am schedule to have my surgery on 2/21/2014. I will be having VSG. I have started my 14 day liquid diet and I am on my 4th day. The hardest part I am finding with the liquid is cooking food for my family and not being able to eat it.

Hello everyone. I was sleeved 8 months ago and what a journey it has been!! As of today, I'm officially down 75lbs from my highest weight!! From 221 to 146!! I go to the gym about 3 -4 days a week, I try to get about 80grams of Protein and around 64oz of Water a day. I had some struggles with nausea early in and had to have my sleeve stretched a little but since then all clear!! To all the new folks and pre ops, stick to it!! It's so worth it!!

Hi, I just joined this site earlier this morning. Seems to be the place to find support for us sleevers. I had a question, how did you know your sleeve stretched? I'm 2 months post op and I'm struggling getting my protein in. Whew!

I had to have my sleeve stretched. I had an EGD due to a slight stricture. My doc said it does happen sometimes that sleeves may heal a little tight which causes nausea and vomiting. Te EGD was easy and they did a ballon dilatation.

I had to have my sleeve stretched. My doc said I had a slight stricture. It's not uncommon it jut means that when my sleeve was healing it was a little to narrow. My GI doc did an EGD and performed a ballon dilatation. OP procedure quick and easy. Afterward no more nausea. It's hard to keep up with the intake but do the best you can.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
