How are fellow March 19/20 sleevers doing?



Recommended Posts

Just wondering how others are feeling. The gas pains are horrible. Gas-X is not working. What else are others using? The dry heaves have just about stopped but still don't have an appetite. Just trying to get some liquids in at this point. I know there's light at the end of the tunnel but it seems so far away right now. ????

Mine was 3/18. Everyone is different but the gas is an issue for me too. It's making me feel like I'm hungry and I find myself craving certain foods that I can't eat right now being on a liquid diet.< /p>

That's exactly what I'm feeling! I feel hungry too...I think I am because I haven't been able to tolerate anything but green tea. Popsicles, jell-o, Isopure are all WAYYYY to sweet and make me gag. *deep sigh* I feel better knowing I'm not alone. :)

Luckily no bad gas pains. I take walks to help with this. I was sleeved Mon and was horrible nauseous. I was not able to keep any liquid down and through mult I

Chest X-rays shower the opening to my stomach from the esophagus was almost closed. All the Fluid I took in would stay in my esophagus. A horrible feeling. Long story short I got Pneumonia in both lungs. Waiting to get a pic line and maybe sent home soon?. Nausea is better when I don't eat. What I wounded do for a big gulp sf lemonade. Trying to stay positive this too shall pass.

I'm so sorry to hear that. Praying you get home soon and begin the healing process. There is light at the end of the tunnel...we're getting there! Slow and steady wins the race. :) Wishing you the best.

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

      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

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
