Hey ladies and gents....those who've been sleeved already I have a question. When u eat ur 1 to 2 ounces of food do u feel exhausted afterwards?

I was sleeved on the 3rd. It does eventually get better. I can actually drink a Premier Protein rtd within an hour. I don't really get tired anymore after eating. But now, it seems like it takes forever for my food to digest.

Hi, I'm 19 and I was sleeved on June 12th... I'm getting real nauseous when drinking the broths all I drink is Water with crystal light or ocean spray water flavors. Do anyone have any suggestions on what I can try that didnt make you nauseous?

Greetings June Sleevers! Just a quick update. I was sleeved on June 3rd. The surgery was much easier then I had anticipated. It was much easier then when I had my gallbladder out! The 1st week post op I was allowed clear liquids...the 2nd week was full liquids. Tomorrow I get to have a soft scrambled egg and am sooo looking forward to it! Actually I get to progress to pureed foods. I am looking forward to more flavors and tastes. Since before surgery I have not been hungry. It is weird, but I am glad. I have been able to drink, no, make that sip, 70 oz of Water almost every day. I seem to only get in 40 grams of protein...still have a ways to get to the 70 grams a day that the doc wants. I am glad this group has been here...it provided me with good info and support before surgery!

I read a tip on this board. Freeze diet 7-up in ice cube tray (freezing process removes the carbonation). They are supposed to help with nausea. I'm sorry I can't vouch that it works because I was lucky not to have nausea, but I have been putting the cubes in my water and crystal light. Hope you feel better soon.

Hi all! Just had my surgery done on June 10th & I need some support from others who are also going through this with me. I'm 6 days post-op - pain is subsiding but I am still getting this wierd wave of pain right below my rib cage every once in awhile but all day long. Anyone had this &/or know when/if it will subside soon?

Probably gas, so maybe you should try walking more. But if you go more than two days with pain in that exact spot you should be checked by your doctor to make sure you don't have a leak or something.

I have this when I drink to much in a gulp (while trying to take my tiny pain pills) standing up while I take them helps....but then also the walking. I dont walk far....but just up and down the driveway a few time. When u lay down try to prop urself up on which ever side hurts. Its more then likely gas pains. If these things dont help id call ur doc. My surgery was 6/12 so we are close in date range....u can message me personally if you want someone more on a personal level im here :-)

Today I am really depressed. I had my very first melt down. When ppl asked if I was okay I even cried. Has anyone else been through this? Maybe it's just a bad day but I just feel horrible?? I hope it's just a phase of some sort...

So, I was sleeved on the 11th and released on the 13th, I had a low grade fever yesterday and felt crummy. Today I feel better! I'm drinking two of those Protein Shake "juice" boxes, a 32 oz propel zero and about 32oz of Water, but I still feel hungry, is this normal or am I just having psychological cravings?

      I am new here today... and only two weeks out from my sleeve surgery on the 23rd. I am amazed I have kept my calories down to 467 today so far... that leaves me almost 750 left for dinner and maybe a snack. This is going to be tough for two weeks... but I have to believe I can do it!

      Hey everyone. I'm new here so I thought I should introduce myself. I am 53y/o and am scheduled for Gastric Bypass on June 25th, 2025. I'm located in San Antonio, Texas. I will be having my surgery in Tiajuana Mexico. I've wanted this for years, but I always had insurance where bariatric procedures were excluded. Finally I am able to afford to pay out of pocket.  I can't wait to get started, and I hope I'm prepared for the initial period of "hell". I know what I have signed up for, but I'm sure the good to come will out way the temporary period of discomfort and feelings of regret. I'd love to find people to talk to who have been through the same procedure or experience before. So I look forward to meeting you all. Hope you have a great week!

        I'm so happy for you! You are about to change your life. I was so glad to get the sleeve done in Dec. I didn't have feelings of regret overall. And I'm down almost 60 lbs. I do feel a little sad at restaurants. I can barely eat half a kid's meal. I get adults meals often because kid ones don't have the same offerings at times. Then I feel obligated to eat on that until it's gone and that can be days. So the restaurant thing isn't great for me. All the rest is fine by me! I love feeling full with very little. I do wish I could drink when eating. And will sip at the end. Just a strong habit to stop. But I'm working on it! You will do fine! Just keep focused on your desire to be different. Not better or worse. But different. I am happy both ways but my low back doesn't like me that heavy. So I listened (also my feet!). LOL! Update us on your journey! I'm not far from you. I'm in Houston. Good luck and I hope it all goes smoothly! Would love to see pics of the town you go to for this. I've never been there. Neat you will be traveling for this! Enjoy the journey. Take it one day at a time. Sometimes a few hours at a time. Follow all recommendations as best you can. 💗

        Thank you so much for your well wishes. I am hoping that everything goes easy for me as well. We don't eat out much as it is, so it wont be too bad in that department. Thankfully. Also, I hear you regarding your back and feet!! I'd like to add knees to the list. Killing me as we speak! I'm only 5' so the weight has to go. Too short to carry all this weight. Menopause really did a doosey on me. (😶lol) My daughter also lives in Houston. with her Husband and my 5 grand-littles. I grew up in Beaumont, so I know Houston well, I will be sure to keep in touch and update you on my journey. I may need some advice in the future, or just motivation. Thank You so much for reaching out, I was hoping to connect with someone in the community. I really appreciate it. 💜

      On day 4 of the 2 week liquid pre-op diet. Surgery scheduled for June 11th.
      Soooo I am coming to a realization
      of something and I'm not sure what to do about it. For years the only thing I've enjoyed is eating. We rarely do anything or go anywhere and if we do it always includes food. Family comes over? Big family dinner! Go camping? Food! Take a short ride or trip? Food! Holiday? Food! Go out of town for a Dr appointment? Food! When we go to a new town we don't look for any attractions, we look for restaurants we haven't been to. Heck, I look forward to getting off work because that means it's almost supper time. Now that I'm drinking these pre-op shakes for breakfast, lunch, and supper I have nothing to look forward to.  And once I have surgery on June 11th it'll be more of the same shakes. Even after pureed stage, soft food stage, and finally regular food stage, it's going to be a drastic change for the rest of my life. I'm giving up the one thing that really brings me joy. Eating. How do you cope with that? What do you do to fill that void? Wow. Now I'm sad.

        I hope your surgery on Wednesday goes well. You will be able to do all sorts of new things as you find your new normal after surgery. I don't know this from experience yet, but I am seeing a lot of positive things from people who have had it done. Best of luck!

        Life as a big person had limited my life to what I knew I could manage to do each day. That was eat. I hadn't anything else to look forward to. So my eating choices were the best I could dream up. I planned the cooking in managable lots in my head and filled my day with and around it.

        Now I have a whole new big, bigger, biggest, best days ever. I am out there with those skinny people doing stuff i could never have dreamt of. Food is now an after thought. It doesn't consume my day. I still enjoy the good home cooked food but I eat smaller portions. I leave food on my plate when I am full. I can no longer hear my mother's voice saying eat it all up, ther are starving children in Africa who would want that!

        I still cook for family feasts, I love cooking. I still do holidays but I have changed from the All inclusive drinking and eating everything everyday kind to Self catering accommodation. This gives me the choice of cooking or eating out as I choose. I rarely drink anymore as I usually travel alone now and I feel I need to keep aware of my surroundings.

        I don't know at what point my life expanded, was it when I lost 100 pounds? Was it when I left my walking stick at home ? Was it when I said yes to an outing instead of finding an excuse to stay home ? i look back at my last five years and wonder how loosing weight has made such a difference. Be ready to amaze yourself.

        BTW, the liquid diet sucks, one more day and you are over the worst. You can do it.
