March Sleevers Where are You



Recommended Posts

Does anyone (besides me) have no interest AT ALL in eating? I can barely get all my fluids in (I been getting about 1/2 in). I told my nut this at my post op visit she said,"concentrate on hydration" and instead of eating 6 small meals I could put a teaspoon of something in my mouth every hr (which I don't do). I can't be the only one, can I?

I got my sleeve march 26 th. 3 days of just Clear Liquids after and for next 10 days shakes, Jello, yogurt, broth. I was very nauseous and gas pains and lots of walking. Otherwise everything went well. I am getting my Protein and fluids in ok. But tonight I made my family dinner. Pasta and meatballs and got some sauce on my finger and licked it now all I can think of is meatballs. I know I am not really hungry but the mental part is starving. I wish there was a way to block the mental thoughts of food. I am 5 ft 3in start weight 247 surgery date weight 235 and now 225.

I haven't had bm yet. But all the fluids they gave me I was peeing constantly I think most of my lost was Water weight. I haven't figured out hunger pain vs gas pain. But I feel like I am hungry all the time. I use a heating pad at night when I am sleeping and that seems to help a lot. These forums have help me get threw this process and prepared me for what to expect. I haven't posted much, mostly just read everything. Good luck and I hope the best for you.

Wow that was rough! First day posting since surgery! First two days were rough and that barium swallow test was awful. Came home from hospital by 4pm next day surgery was at 12:45pm. Didn't quite feel ready on Saturday to be home. As a matter of fact I called the Dr. about 3 or 4hrs after getting home cause I thought I was having a heart attack. The pressure in my chest from the gas was so bad. He reasurred me and I was able to relax. Things are getting better day by day. I hope all my March sleevers are doing well! Thank God I'm on the other side of the rode!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks
