Hi, This is my first post. I wanted to post sooner but have had a lot of problems post surgery. I am worried what others will think of me. I decided to have the sleeve surgery after my husband was diagnosed with a terminal illness. I knew I had to get healthy to help with his care. I had recently been told I was diabetic. The first couple of months were good until I started the mashed and solid foods. I began throwing up, and was nauseated all the time. My Dr. ran tests and all was fine, but couldn't keep food down and was always hungry. I did lose thirty one pounds the first few months but after I began throwing up I stopped losing. One BIG problem is not knowing when I am full, until it is too late and the food comes up. Now nine months later it is getting better but hungry all the time? Is it possible to have stretched my pouch this soon? After being sick I would eat again not to feel empty. I can not believe how much I can eat. I eat light at Breakfast and dinner but at night I want to eat everything. I have not exercise because of the naseau. My problem is eating too fast and too much. I need your advice, did I go throughout this surgery only to fail? I last saw my surgeon three months ago and he told me, since I can hold liquids down just to stick with them. Is that my future? I was so disappointed that I cancelled my next appointment. I have not been back since. Right now i"m winging it, should I seek out another Dr? I hope that someone can advise me, I don't know if my stomach needs tightening or am I doing something wrong. I don't know if my insurance would cover another surgery since my BMI is lowered that accepted. I am sorry to ramble but it has been a heck of a bad nine months. If anyone can help in any way PLEASE feel free. Thank you, from the bottom of my heart or belly! Kathy

A lot of bariatric patients do it to get back on track. It's basically a cycle where you begin with liquids and move to purée and soft food and regular food just like after surgery. Google.

I would get some prescription heart burn meds and drink a bunch of Water when I feel "hungry" if I were in your situation. Are you eating healthy fats? You won't feel satiated on a really low fat diet.
