3 week out.. Wondering mind....



Recommended Posts

Hello I'm 3 weeks out and I'm wondering what are some food restrictions down the line. Of course this is a lifestyle change but just wondering will ever be able to eat a potato chip or frozen yogurt. Wondering if anyone who has has the sleeve has experienced dumping?

No, no dumping. Sliming, yes, but no dump. And yes, sadly perhaps, you will be able to eat chips and frozen yogurt without any problems. (other than self-sabotage)

That's the beauty of the sleeve, you will likely not have any food restrictions at some point. Lots of people report difficulty with different foods. Me....not so much. My sleeve will tolerate anything. Well, not that I've tried everything, but I've not yet come across anything I cannot tolerate. Makes it a slippery slope so I have to be vigilant about what I permit into my regular diet.

Experienced sliming, dumping and throwing up!!! Don't like none of them. I know that I am sleeved tight, meaning that I am six weeks out and still can't eat very much. An example is that I was only able to eat six small shrimp for supper. Nothing with it, just the six shrimp. The sliming and dumping was due to me trying to eat something that was very spicy! I have found that is a no-no for me. Also, certain foods no longer appeal to me or they have a different taste than before I was sleeved. Weird how this procedure affects all of us so differently. Best of luck!

I'm 8 weeks out and can only eat 3 shrimp. It's hard for me to eat other meat too. It's just too heavy on my stomach.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
