Glad you are feeling better.

I am 12 days post op and I have days where I cannot get more than 400 calories in (like yesterday). I feel extremely full all the time even if I don't eat. I woke up this morning feeling like I have just eaten an entire pizza! Don't know if this is normal or not.

If anyone has experienced this before and know what is wrong, please let me know what was wrong with you. Maybe I can figure it out on my own before calling my doctor.

I had surgery may 30, 2012 everything went perfect! liquid wonderful for 3 weeks went for check up & got put on solid & soft food. I started feeling blah. For 30 days I was vomiting everyday. I called my surgeon he saud it takes time. I put up with it. It went away. The past week (recent) I was really vomiting I could keep 1 spoon down. I saud something is wring. Called my surgeon he got concern & had the endoscopy doctor call me for appointment & come to find out my stomach completely closed. They made an opening so I can hold in food. So far had cheerios and it stood down. Listen to your body always. I'm glad I'm in this group ppl saying call the doctor you might have xxx and yes I'm lucky. If not for the group I would stay vomiting because I thought it was normal.

Glad they figured out what was going on with you.

Did they have an answer why your stomach completely closed?

Actually they didn't tell me. They mention it happens sometimes but not to everyone. It's a rare case.

I had a minor episode of this, and my soft foods were put on hold. They gave me prednisone for a few days to open it, and it seems to have worked. I still haven't been able to eat meat or even fish, but I wanna avoid opening the hole up, as long as I am able to eat. I'm glad you found the cause.....it is so hard to know when there is a problem, or if it is just a routine part of the journey.

I think this is pretty normal to feel full. At 12 days you can not eat much so 400 cal

May not be unrealistic....hower- make sure you are drinking your protien, if nothing else- thy should be a couple hundred cal at least.

Thanks Mrs. D. At least I am not alone in this journey. I try to drink my Protein drinks daily but it's so hard to drink at least three a day which would make about 570 calories. There are days where I can only get one Protein shake in as well as maybe an egg white and 3 cups of Water. I just hope this will get better soon.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
