Anyone Having This Problem?!?



Recommended Posts

I am a little over 3 months post op. I have lost more inches than weight which is great! I am experiencing some issues though. I can't seem to control my calories. I keep in mind that I want high Protein and low carbs/fat. I don't usually concern myself with a caloric number, but here is my pattern: for a week I will average anywhere from 500-709 calories then I will go a week or so that I can't eat more than 150-250 calories a day! I can't get any nutrition or food in and if I do try to eat little bits at a time, I throw up within 10 minutes of eating! It is unnerving bc those weeks I don't lose weight and last week I gained! I'm struggling. The weight is coming off and so are the inches, but I literally can't eat some weeks! Anyone else having issues?

DOS: 8/28/12- 276. Lbs

Last weigh in (last week) 231 and down 47 inches total... There are my stats!

Yes...I share the same issues...i was sleeved on 8-17-12...have lost 56# and many inches...to maintain the weight loss i have not been counting calories but increasing my fluids....when i eat too fast i phlegm up...so i would say we are blessed with little sleeves and keep learning how to care for them...some days u can eat and some i get reminded real quick to stick with fluids...soups etc.

Take care

I am 7 weeks out and I have the eating issues, same as you. I don't weight myself but every 2 weeks, so I don't know if the weight is fluctuating. I make sure I drink the Protein shakes when I am not doing solids.

I am losing slowly, but the inches are really coming off. I went from a 3X blouse to a XL. I don't even know my pants size; I hang out in yoga pants and they are getting loose.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
