Sleeved on the 26th of august...need encouragement



Recommended Posts

All I can think about is chewing on a steak. I'm freakin napping and dreaming about food! I'm only 3 days after and I feel like mentally I'm loosing it. I know il eat again and I tell myself that. Anybody have something positive to tell me? How will I be on Tuesday when it's been a week? Lordy the regret is hitting me. Maybe I'm not as strong as I thought I was?

I am very new to this, but I have also just been sleeved on 8/28/14. My encouragement from a newbie would be just remind yourself that you chose to have this surgery to better your health and that this is a tool. It is not a quick fix, but it should help you to eat only when you are physically hungry and stop when you are satisfied. This will take lots of practice. If you are feeling regrets, also think about how your health has been going before the surgery. Maybe like mine, it was a very high risk for diabetes, high blood pressure and even death at a young age due to a heart attack or something else. Also, talk with your nurse or nutritionist. Try to also look for local support groups where you can attend meetings in person. There may be a time some down the road where you may be able to have some steak, but probably in much smaller portions, chewing thoroughly. Talk with those who been through this longer than I have to get a better sense, too. Always listen to what your surgeon and nurse tell you first before others' advice. They know your health best post surgery. Don't give up. Best wishes.

      Three months and four days ago... I was in Costa Rica having a life changing surgery! Yesterday we had a followup visit with Dr. Esmeral via video chat and this morning my middle number changed.  I'm down 47lbs and two pants sizes. I can wear a Large tshirt for the first time in like... 14 years! Woot!! Everything is going great. I have zero regrets. I went down to the riverwalk with a friend and walked 2 miles on Monday without even getting fatigued. And no more snoring or chugging pickle juice for crazy leg cramps! I need to go to the gym more... I'm making new shirts next week so that will motivate me. LOL But I'm also just not as TIRED all the time! I have a LONG way to go...but seeing the progress on the scales and in the mirror is a huge motivator!! Thank you all for cheering me on and supporting me!!

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.
