Hi Everyone,

Let me tell you a little about myself. My name Jason I am 37 years old from New Hampshire. I married with 3 kids. Had my Sleeve done August 15th, 2014. I use Dr. Umbach In Las Vega, Nevada, Being almost two weeks post-op and down 22 pound from 343 is awesome but not easy. Just little something to start with im not good at these type off things.

Thanks Jason

Hi my name is Sarah I am 7 weeks post op and am down 35 pounds. I make sure I drink my shake in before eating anything! I found that I can eat just about anything very slowly. And only a few bites. My entire relationship with food has changed. I am not search for food the way I used to and it's easy to walk away from my plate. When I do eat I have some chicken or some kind of protien. Making healthier choices. But still crave chips!! I am not measuring out my food which I know is bad or measuring the amount of water I am drinking. I need to make a food diary to keep track. As my day to day life is very hectic.

Dear sara. I had my op at 5.Aug. 2014 , every thing till now is still within expected and no worry from serious complications. My main problem that sone i start eating some simi sold ( this week) i find that i can not eat more than 2 small spoons and start having this annoying epigastric pain. It is not sever pain , just mild or moderate one but i can not eat any more . I wait for about hour and try to continue eating but it is the same. So i returned to fluid intake again. And i have really worry about the futur. Yes i am loosing weight but i am not having a normal life.

Can anyone , tell me if this is also within normal or not. Does it will be better with time. I hate being in pain. And what is the normal accepted amount of food i will be able to eat , less then 50 gram is not sufficient to maintain normal life and i do not want to be for the rest of my life on fluids and shakes :-(

Hi,

Im heading into my 3 week with textured food and I have had a single issue with any meats yet. Trial and error.

It took about a month for me to eat more then a few bits! It was very uncomfortable when I first started eating as well. But no worries it will get better soon. Just don't force it
