was just wondering. why are we eating like we have the rny our valves are the same and works fine its just are tummys a smaller. have you wondered if they every really researched the sleeve after surgery. it seems we follow the same diet as rny. can someone shed some light on this.

I've always wondered the same thing.

I think their "pouches" are much smaller than our sleeves and they don't have the absorption ability anymore, unlike us. We still have some of that. I prefer having my "normal" stomach with its parts, although there are now less of them. I'm going to still take my mobic....surgeon said I could at a month out. So I am.

I've been eating chicken for 2 weeks :). Love it.

I also hate the chewable multi. Trying to make myself finish the darn bottle though then moving on to something else.

Wish I knew what I weighed. It seems my scale was being too generous to my whole family so I bought another. Nothing like "gaining" 10 pounds Ina matter of seconds :(

Just took my son to subway before his championship (needed to add that) baseball game. Anyway- I was sooooo excited because they said I could make any of the sandwiches into a salad. So my oven roasted chicken breast and veggies (and yep mayo too) is tasting good. Been working on the the last 30-40 minutes and not even half gone. About to throw it away. Sure was nice to be able to do this though

Has anyone gotten a UTI? I want to know if its common? I know I have one, but I'm just doing over the counter uristat and cranberry juice. I'm not sure if its because I'm down 53 lbs and my fiancé can't keep his hands off me literally every night ;). Or if this whole ketosis thing is messing with me... I get occasional kidney pains. But..... I'm more than thrilled with how the weight is falling off me! So I can deal with the UTI!

Did you eat something that didnt agree w/ you maybe & I haven't thrown up yet @ all but ate to fast for lunch & felt like I wanted to but never did - trying to eat slow is kind of getting on my nerves - I try to wait 1 min or so before I take another bite each time

I have not thrown up throughout this entire journey. So thankful for that! I told my NUT I could be the poster child for this surgery :)

I haven't thrown up but maybe there is something with bananas because I too feel like I need to do that after I have eaten a piece of banana. No matter how ripe it is.

I have not thrown up but i have learned my lesson. My husband bought some ice cream home (it was my favorite before surgery) well i decided that I was going to try it. BIG BIG Mistake. I was sick on my stomach all night. I will never try ice cream again... I wanted to throw up but i couldn't. What an awful feeling.

My dr wants us to wait 10 min between bites of solid food. It's so hard but if I go less than like 7-8 I start to feel yucky full.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!
