I have three questions concerning the sleeve



Recommended Posts

1-). The stuck feeling that people talk about, is that usually from not chewing food enough?

2-) What's up with some people having rapid heart rate after surgery?

3-). I hear some people having so much energy after surgery and some feel so weak, any insight?

1. In my case, yes, or eating too fast.

2. panic attack possibly. Nervousness. We never experienced this and I don't see it mentioned much.

3. I am 67 and felt fantastic and shopped 2 and 5 days post op. Can only speak for me and my hubby.

Good luck!

1) yes

2) can be many reaons: scared, nervous, pain. For me I didn't have any issue

3) depends on your pain level, how you heal etc. for me I was at the store 3 days later but 5 days out after trying to do to much with my 3 year old I was feel week.

1) The only time I've gotten the "stuck" feeling is when trying to swallow pills. I've just in the last couple of weeks been able to start taking most of my pre-op Vitamins again.

2) I've experienced rapid heart rate twice: both times were after drinking a higher calorie Protein shake than I am used to. Once I drank my husband's just to try it, once we were on the road, so I bought an ensure. Needless to say, I have never drank either again.

3) I think the energy thing may be all relative. If you're pretty sedentary, then you lose some weight during your pre-op/post-op diet, and start exercising you will likely feel more energetic just from that. If, on the other hand you've always been a high-energy person, the immediate post operative period where you need to rest once in awhile may seem like the end of the world. Again, all I have to compare is my own experience.

- have never had a stuck feeling. Never been sick or thrown up either.

-never had a rapid heart rate although anesthesia can cause that

- I was super tired for a few weeks, feel normal now.

      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? 🤷‍♀️
