I keep forgetting to eat I'm never really hungry by the time I get home from work ,I have two bites of something and I get full ! Through out the day I try to eat but when I do I barely eat anything yet I feel like I pigged out ! I'm becoming very frustrated ! Does anyone have this problem ! Oh and as for Water I'm not getting enough in even when i try !I know I'm not but its impossible for me !I'm really struggling ! I'm a very go go go go person and I forget I can't do that anymore and when I do , I find my feeling like I'm about to fall out ! I just really hope this doesn't last forever ! Any advise !

It doesn't. How far out are you? If you got sleeved recently, your stomach is inflamed. I believe it can stay that way for weeks.

I was just sleeved by Dr. ram too on Tuesday, I drank maybe 6 oz of Water yesterday, trying a shake this morning, just do not feel like eating at all. This gas thing in my chest is bad too, I pray for you too, hope ot gets better.

Listen to your sleeve.....but you must drink a little so that you can build up the acids in your stomach to help to break down the food....Eating a little at first is not going to hurt you...Although if you don't you will start to lose your hair...Biotin will help.....Sip, sip and sip some more.....And if you don't remember to eat because your stomach hurts...Set a timer for every 2 hours and try that for now......Don't take in anything too hot or cold right now your stomach will revolt.....tepid okay....

It will get better I know...I was 5 months in the hospital due to complications with my surgery and I thought I would never ever feel better again....10 months out..I am doing really well...You will too!!!!!

At this point in your recovery your stomach is less inflamed. It's time to put yourself on a schedule with eating a little bit every 2 hours. Since your not getting hardly any food in, your weight loss can or will slow down. Drink a RTD Protein Shake like Premier from costco or Sam's club to get you started int he morning. Eat moist foods to help with getting the food into your stomach. You can do this, it's making new habits of taking care of yourself. Sip every time you get a chance, dehydration is the worst ever. It's not fun. :P

I was sleeved on Monday, I do not find it hard to get my Protein or fluids in yet, so maybe I am doing this wrong. I mix an Atkins shake (15 GM protein) with 1cup milk (8 GM protein) and 1scoop injury Protein powder(27 GM protein). I drink 2 oz every 15 min until it is gone. Takes around 3 hours but 50 grams of protein is out of the way, then I drink 2 oz of Water every 15 min for next few hours then a protein Soup or yogurt for lunch and back to water.

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
