Help Post Op Sleevers!



Recommended Posts

I was sleeved on March 18th and am loving it in a way. I've been extremely dizzy on Easter I blacked out and woke up on the floor. Does anyone know what could be causing this? Also the "full feeling" they say you will feel I don't feel it in my stomach I feel it in my throat it feels like if I take another bite ill puke. Does anyone else have this? I'm not over eating I get that feeling after a few bites. Any kind of feed back would be great!! Oh and since a week pre op til today I'm down 30 pounds!!! Yay

Well... I had my surgery the same day and it sounds like you are eating too much. I know everyone is different. I know that some people need to work themselves up to the 4 oz. Are you measuring? It is 4 oz as in a measuring cup and not a food scale. I don't know if that helps. As far as the black out, what were you doing when it happened? You were probably on all clears like me for 2 weeks right? Congrats on the loss :)

Great job with the weight loss. i always get that stuck-in-the-throat feeling when i get full. ive heard others say the same thing.

The dizziness could be from dehydration. how much fluids are you getting in?

I am sorry about the blackout. I hope you didn't injure yourself. Unfortunately, I can't offer advise about that but I can comment on the throat feeling.

I am 8 weeks post op and that throat feeling just started to go away for me about 2 weeks ago. Two things: chew until your food is the consistency of yogurt so it doesn't get stuck on the way down. That throat feeling is murder and I spent lots of time hurling because of it. Second, take small bites and fully swallow before you take your next bite. That way, you know the food has gone down and you can actually decide if you really need that next bite or if you're full in your new little belly.

Those things worked for me. I was not eating too much, but eating too fast and not chewing enough. Hope it helps!

Well I had a very similar situation not too long ago where I actually passed out and when I went to the ER it was decided that my beta blocker (treatment for blood pressure) was to blame and so I was taken off of it and have had no problems. That might not have anything to do with your situation, but if you are on any meds, please check with your regular doctor to check on that. Dehydration is another thought. Also, I have had dizziness from way before I was sleeved that is called benign paroxysmal positional vertigo and is caused by an inner ear situation that can be easily cured with some physical therapy maneuvers, but that would never cause you to black out, just be dizzy. There are a lot of situations so getting it checked out would be a good idea. Hope it all works out for you.

      Hi, I’m new here. I’m currently on the liver shrinking diet. So far so good, but I have to say I haven’t found a protein shake I like. Anyone have any suggestions please? My surgery date is September 17th.

        Fairlife Core are by far the best. They taste just as they are - chocolate milk. You can either get the 26 grams or the 42 grams (harder to find and more expensive). For straight protein look at Bulksuppliments.com ..they have really good whey proteins and offer auto ship plus they test for purity. No taste or smell...

      2. BlondePatriotInCDA

        Fairlife has strawberry, vanilla and of course chocolate. No more calories than other protein drinks. Stay away from Premiere, they're dealing with lawsuits due to not being honest about protein content.
