Does (Did) Anyone Else Feel This Way?



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on 10/29 and I have literaly had NOTHING to eat since before my surgery. I have no appetite, no cravings and no desire to eat. I have tried the yogurt the broth the Soups all a no go. One spoon and I'm done! I keep myself hydrated with Water and Protein but I am not getting in the desired amount. Is this normal?

It has only been a couple of weeks and your stomach was traumatized. If you are getting in enough fluids and Protein (via Protein Shakes? ) then just count your blessings :-) You will eventually be able to eat more than a spoonful. No problem.

Thanks ladies! I just don't want to starve my body. So far the eggs have gone down good. At what week were you able to eat anything without the pain of it hitting your stomach?

I was sleeved on 10/30/12 and I am feeling the same way. No energy and feeling like sh*t. I can get 2-3 teaspoon of food but am not hungry and my stomach feels like it can not hold 1sip more! I've made a appt with my regular doctor for tomorrow just to make sure things are going right.

I was also sleeved on the 29th of october. I was on Protein Drinks from 10/15 - 11/15. I have been on mushie foods (yougart, eggs, cheese, refried Beans, canned tuna, chicken, salmon and string cheese and sliced cheese. I feel your pain. Initially when I began to introduce my belly to food it was unhappy. My stomach griped and had issues. Today is my 5th day on mushie foods and my stomach is ok, but when you eat to much, to fast it will let you know. I also started my Vitamins when I started. While on Protein drinks I felt the same way. Once you get on food it will be better, but know this there is a new sheriff in town called your new belly. lol U are doing fine.

Thanks Chris54. I noticed that when I ate the egg this morning it went down well because it took me 35 minutes to eat it! I may take a chance and venture to a chicken salad, or fish tonight. But if I feel the pain I am done! Lol!

I didn't have an appetite for about 2 weeks after I was sleeved. I didn't know when I was hungry or when I was full. I asked my doc & he said it was normal.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
