Sleeved august 8th and still hurting to drink?



Recommended Posts

First' date=' congrats on your 90 lb loss. That's awesome. I wonder if why you feel so bad s because you didn't follow the food stages. My dr says even if I follow the stages he sets out, sometimes folks have to step back to the previous stage a little longer. Have you talked to your dr?[/quote']

Thank u actually I tired the whole follow the steps I had it terrible in beginning I had to have my gallbladder emergency removed then I had to have my dr go back in and put botox to loosen up my slevee so I could stop throwing up that has got a lil better but am still throwing up how long post open are u do u have any drinks or foods that could maybe help me out thanks for the reply

I am with you...I was sleeved on 8/7/13...have had really hard time drinking plain Water...everyday gets better. Today it seems to be much better going down.

When I swallow....my stomach gurgles and it feels like it sits there...some of the things I have found helpful are...having room temp Water as opposed to ice cold, standing up walking around when drinking the water.....putting in a big cup and sipping all day so i can see the progress that I have made, also adding a splash of cranberry or apple juice to plain water. Tea is helpful as well. My Protein shakes are another story...takes me all day to drink one....these are counted towards my daily goal of 64oz daily...I am not close to there yet.

Applesauce? Not a good idea just 5 days out. That's a stage II food and can slow your healing process. I too was sleeved on 8/7, but the pain has been manageable as long as I walk at least 4 times a day for about 10 min each trip. I feel much better each morning, but I would definitely NOT use Stage II foods to curb your hunger pains. They will subside. Just stick with it!! Good luck.

      Question for anyone, how did you get your mind right before surgery? Like as far as eating better foods and just doing better in general? I'm having a really hard time with this. Any help is appreciated 🙏❤️

        I had about 6 months between deciding to do surgery and getting scheduled. I came across the book The Pound of Cure by Dr. Matthew Weiner, a bariatric surgeon in Arizona, and started to implement some of the changes he recommended (and lost 13 lbs in the process without ever feeling deprived). The book is very simple, and the focus is on whole, plant based foods, but within reason. It's not an all or nothing approach, or going vegan or something, but focuses on improvement and aiming for getting it right 80-90% of the time. His suggestions are divided into 12 sections that you can tackle over time, perhaps one per month for a year if a person is just trying to improve nutrition and build good habits. They range from things like cutting out artificial sweetener or eating more beans to eating a pound of vegetables per day. I found it really effective pre-surgery and it's an eating style I will be working to get back to as I am further out from surgery and have more capacity. Small changes you can sustain will do the most for building good habits for life.

        That sounds awesome. I'll have to check that out thanks!

      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? 🤷‍♀️
