I hate to say it but I think I am regretting my decision on having this procedure done! I was never felt sick after eating before I had this done. I am about 3 1/2 weeks out, it feels like it has been months. My surgery and recovery were uneventful so not sure what is up. I have 3 small children and I am always on the go with them I guess I just need to take a few extra minutes and prepare my meals or plan my meals out for the day.

I hope so. I know there is no turning back and I have a wonderful doctor. Just frustrated right now. How far out are you?

I got sick at about the same time because I was introducing new foods..I backed off to liquids for two days then started introducing foods slowly. It does get better. I'm six weeks out tomorrow and I feel totally different.I'm sorry you're not feeling well...but hang in there!

It does get better... Your still healing. It does help to be planful and eat at the same time each day. Set the alarm on your phone as s reminder. Good luck

It does get better, just watch what you are eating, chew, chew,chew,chew and chew some more. My problem 2 months post op was learning to chew properly because if I didn't I would get awful sick for hours. I learned real quick. Start out slowly introducing new foods a bite at a time if you must.

Make sure you're not dehydrated, I always feel like death when I am dehydrated and noticed since surgery it happens very quickly.

I work 12 hr shifts as a nurse, and often don't have the time to eat like I should. But yesterday I was really crazy busy, and made my body go on 2 oz of chicken for 8 hours until I finally realized that the reason I was about to fall asleep standing was that my body ran out of fuel. Finally I asserted myself and said I will be eating at the desk, get me if there is an emergency, but not for anything else. I need 30minutes and then will play catch up if I have to.

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
