6 Weeks Out And Tolerating Less?



Recommended Posts

I'm six weeks and a few days out and it seems like the last week I've been tolerating less than I was in weeks four and five. For example tonight I had white bean chicken chili, had about 4-5 bites and was vomiting within 20 mins. Last night the same thing happened with a half dollar sized (spherical of course, not flat) turkey meatball. My pace hasn't increased, my volume hasn't increased, and these are things I was able to eat a week ago. I'm not sick with a bug or the flu because after I'm done "getting rid" of whatever I ate I'm fine, no fever or malise at all. I'm stumped. I'm chewing well, not drinking while I eat... I don't really get it. Has this happened to anyone else?

I am 6 weeks out as well and I have noticed a decrease in my intake but I have not had any vomiting. Hope you feel better soon.

Hello all I had surgery on 9/17/12 and I have experience the same thing. Everything was fine until Tuesday 10/23 and all if a sudden I start vomiting every hour. Call the my surgeon office and they had me come in on 10/24 and had an upper gi done again to see if I had a narrowing and sure enough I have a narrowing in my stomach. All I can get in my stomach is 2 oz of food. I will find out what they are going to do next Thursday. So I am back to soft puree food and if I have difficult with that I have to go all the way back to just liquids until I am seen again. I was at our phase 1 which was cheese, crackers, deli turkey meat, eggs, tuna and chicken salad, and watermelon, etc.

Ugh! I'm so sorry! I have an apt on the 5th. Hopefully it's nothing.

      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.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
