I was sleeved 12/10/12. The past couple of days food has made me sick one "meal" each day. Lost 20 lbs since surgery and now slowly loosing at a rate of 1/4 lb per day. Can't wait to see more progress. Nervous about going back to teaching job on Wednesday. How is everyone else?

What is this "dumping" that I read people talk about?? What foods cause it?? Thx I'm new to this

Hey all! I was sleeved dec 11... I'm on purée food now and start soft foods Thursday.. I can't wait.. I'm down 27 pds since preopt diet.. 13 pds since surgery.. I think I'm in a stall this week I haven't lost anything.. I'm not having any problems with eating.. I had a little chicken salad today chopped up super fine and tried a couple bites of bean chili for dinner.. I think the biggest problem I have I'd getting all my Protein in bc the shakes make me nauseas now I'm so over them..

I'm right there with you I drink Protein Shakes like they are medicine.

Dumping is a term used for gastric bypass patients at least that is what my nutritionist told me. It's when gastric bypass patients eat to much sugar and their intestine cannot tolerate it so they end up sick, vomiting, nausea, diarrhea all that.

Oh so dumping can't happen to us that had a sleeve? It's just for the bypass surgery? I haven't experienced any bad feeling after eating yet.. Just sometimes I think my bite is to big and I can feel it slowly go in to my stomach but the discomfort goes away quickly

I mean dumping could really happen to anyone if their stomach dumps to much sugar into their bowel to quickly, but is most common with gastric bypass since their stomach is closer to the bowel after surgery. People have stated they had dumping syndrome on here but it is less likely with sleeved patients.

Gotcha... Thx for clarifying.. I hope I don't ever experience it

Dumping is usually with sugar. Both times I was eating soft foods out with family and I do not know what was in the veggies or beans.. But boy did they make me quite ill!!! Eating only food I cook for a while.

I was sleeved on the 10th and at this moment I am miserable! Having made it through Christmas on soft foods without cheating it is now my birthday today. Currently I'm on the couch while my family enjoys a huge roast, scalloped potatoes, green beans, bread and now cheesecake. I had nothing but crystal light. I can't get in all of my daily protein bc I hate the taste of every shake I have tried since surgery. I am dehydrated and tired. That pretty much sums up my pity party! On the other hand I am down over 25 lbs since surgery day and nearly to a size 12 from 16. If my belly button wasn't still a little tender I'd be fine in a 12 My incisions look good and I have very little discomfort.

Congrats on the weight loss! Size 12?? Wow wish I could just get out of plus sizes!!! It's hard to drink. I know I'm dehydrated too. Hang in there, you are doing great! Oh and happy birthday; )

I was sleeved Dec. 10.....I am down 15lbs as of last Thursday.....I am not consuming much of anything. ...I hate the weird feeling of everything hitting my stomach....My energy level is really good most days. I'm having soft foods since I haven't been able to tolerate any of the proteins.

I agree feeling food in your stomach isn't fun, nor is all the awful sounds my stomach makes!!! Wondering what my students who have me after lunch are going to say when my stomach starts guggling!!

Have you tried powders?utm_source=BariatricPal&utm_medium=Affiliate&utm_campaign=CommentLink" target="_ad" data-id="1" >unjury or nectar? I really like the chocolate unjury, I'm lucky and my hospitals pharmacy carries it, you can also order online

I'm trying to start a new thread.. But I can't! Don't know how so new to this..

I have a question.. I'm not a alcoholic I'm a social drinker.. How long before I can have a pina Coloda or a shot of jolly rancher lol

I think it's way too soon and I am not even sure if we are allowed to have alcohol since it can dehydrate you. Plus those drinks have way too many calories. Just think if a drink is worth after all you have done to get your surgery. At least in my own opinion, I wouldn't like to go back to an OR. I already let my doctor cut me once and I want it to work.

I was sleeved 12/10 in New Jersey. By 5 days after I felt like myself, going to the gym to walk almost every day. I am down 29 pounds, but haven't lost any weight at all in the last 5-6 days, which is a bit frustrating.

I am already on soft foods and have gone out to eat a few times due to the holidays, I have found ways to get around most food events, but I definitely miss the social aspect of food.

Its getting easier, but still have trouble getting all of my Protein in...I was sick of shakes so I have tried Isopure drinks (like gatorade) and they are nasty! So I am doing my best to get my protein through my food.

Have you tried unjury or nectar? I really like the chocolate unjury, I'm lucky and my hospitals pharmacy carries it, you can also order online

I ordered some last week! You know the name unjury just doesn't scream (I am yummy..consume me), but I read many good things about it so I finally just went ahead and ordered 2 sample packs. Hopefully they will be in this week.
