Man' date=' I wish I got full that fast. But I did have my first dumping syndrome(I guess that's what it was?). I had two bites of mashed broccoli and puked it right back up. I was okay after that though. Strange that I can eat 3 oz of chicken but not a few bites of broccoli

Maybe it was too stringy?

Broccoli is a gassy vegetable. I tried to eat cauliflower and luckily I ate one bite only bc it hurt and I kept burping thinking I was gonna puke. Thats funny you ate an egg, I tried to yesterday too. I ate 75% then stopped from fear of getting too full. I haven't puked yet but I am very careful. Even being careful I have had full pains a handful of times and it has me scared. Yesterday I ate 1/2 of one ravioli and it hurt.

Amanda, No I didn't purée the canned chicken. My NUT said that because it's moist it should go down fine. I also asked her if I could do like a chicken salad and she said that was fine as long as I used fat free mayo which I did.

By the way I was constipated so I went and got Dulcolax like my manual instructed me to. Took one and nothing. Then 7 hours later I took two more and today I'm just living in the bathroom. Oh did I mention it's my first day back at work. Holy shit. ????.

Oh man! That sucks. Bowel drugs take about half a day to work. But not if severely constipated.

I'm 19 days out from surgery and I've gained 3 lbs in the past 5 days. I'm seriously discouraged :( I've read a lot about stalls, but actual weight gain ugh. This blows

I've been taking in 60-90 oz of Water every day since surgery. And It's not that time of the month either. This is the weight I was stuck at for 3 years prior to surgery so I'm praying that I don't stay stuck

Sageandcoyesmommy, I am also not getting any feeling that tells me I am getting satisfied/full, but I just watch the amount that I eat and stop when I think I need to.

Funny, how so many people have trouble with liquids because I can drink and drink and drink without any resistance. I go for my first check-up on Thursday, Oct 3rd and I am going to ask the doctor what gives.?!?!!!!! Sorta irritating, since I thought I would only be able to have 1-2 bites, but that isn't the case.

I had only like 2 days of back pain that started a week after my surgery. It went away but if I hick up or sneeze it hurts my back like crazy. I called the office during the two days of continuous back pain and their answer was gas pain from the co2. Simply as she put "I can't do anything for you, just tell you what it is."

      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? 🤷‍♀️
