Ty. I guess that happens sometime' date=' remember your stomach has changed and now you have to get to know it again. I know you can do it. I have faith in you. How is your healing going?[/quote']

The only pain I feel comes from the incisions as far as the inside I'm starting to question what he did, nothing makes me sick and I don't get that full feeling I are a cup of Jello at one sitting... I shouldn't have been able to do that

I am experiencing the exact same thing. Everything has been a breeze. no pain, no nausea, no issues with anything I eat, no sense of feeling full, I am 10 days out and feel normal except my stomach itching so much from the healing. I started questioning if I got the sleeve instead but have to remind myself I no longer suffer from acid reflux which I had bad before and would be worse now if I had the sleeve.

Exactly! I haven't had any internal discomfort! Just the incisions. I'm 7 days out. I do get a slight full feeling, but it quickly fades, I don't get hungry, I just get not full. Lol. Its really hard to explain.

Instead of that old totally uncomfortable feeling of full or stuffed that I used to get before surgery, I now just get a feeling of I just don't want anymore. That urge to over eat is gone!! seems like my head is in control now not my stomach.

Does that make sense?

Exactly! Jesus sometimes explaining these feelings is trying to get a blind man to imagine color! Lol.

Was going great but have stalled and am slightly gaining over the last 4 days. I'm wondering if its because I am completely blocked up. I tried taking milk of magnesia last week and it left me feeling sick and weak all night long. Scared to try Magnesium citrate cause it may make me go too much to the point of dehydration. I'm now putting Benefiber in my water/mio mix to see if it helps. Not seeing any loss and the slight gaining is kinda defeating.

My doctor said no laxatives, only stool softners. So tomorrow that's what I will be buying as well. Good luck and just don't give up

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!
