Recommended Posts

Anybody find that they can eat a little more than they thought. I read about people only being able to eat 2oz-4oz and I find a can eat about a little less than a cup before I feel full. I was sleeved May 31st. I know everyone's pouch is different but please tell me it's not just me and I'm not doing anything wrong here.

Ok that cools my mind a bit I read about people only getting 2-4 oz and i starting wondering if I screwed something up.

I could eat more when I was on liquid and purees The minute I switched to solid regular food that stopped. I often can barely get down 1to2 oz. of Protein and only about 1/2 cup of anything with substance. Some days are different then others for me. Today I can't seem to get much of anything before I feel full and is a challenge to eat enough, but I just listen to my body and adjust what I eat. Today more Soup and Protein Shakes and tomorrow maybe meat will feel good. You're not to far out so be patient sometimes what you can eat changes overnight.

I am on the same exact boat. I feel like I've been able to eat more than what is recommended. And it worries me to think that this may not work for me because i have felt normal from the day I walked out the hospital, hardly any pain I get hungry, I already had a hard time getting enough Water in. I need serious help.

Another thing I have noticed it depends on what it is that fills me faster.

I am 4 wks out, had at least 2 oz of beef filet, 1 crab leg and half an ear of corn for dinner tonight and was not uncomfortable at all. Definitely more room in my sleeve than expected.

Sleeved Jun 3--I can usually manage 3/4 cup of Soup before feeling full. I am finding that liquids are much easier to get in now---I am able to drink rather than sip.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

      Anyone had the TORe procedure? How did it go? How much weight did you loose?

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
