How are all my new sleevers doin?!



Recommended Posts

I just introduced "food" back. So far so good... I'm not hungry at all, but know I need to get some food in my stomach. It makes me feel a little uncomfortable, but just tender when it hits my stomach. Anyone with me on that one???

I just started food again too yesterday. Not having this issue, but I am already three weeks out (per my doc's plan 3 weeks of full liquids).

I've also been chewing everything to death.

I just got moved up to soft foods on Monday and it's been great so far. I can finally get enough calories in to sustain some exercise, so I've been doing my 60-90 minutes of "brisk walking" and it's not nearly as tiring as last week. So far I haven't found any specific foods that disagree with me, just eating too much or too fast causes me discomfort and burping.

I am a month out tomorrow, Im doing pretty good. I have to keep reminding myself to slow down because if it eat just one more bite, it hurts my tummy. Now that I have limited restrictions, I find that there is nothing really that I am craving. :D

It's different for everyone and you may need to discuss persistent pain and nausea with your surgeon. I was on anti-nausea and pain medication, so I didn't experience much of either. I had random twinges of pain in my ab muscles for a couple of weeks, but nothing debilitating. As for nausea, I never really had any, though I did have some dry heaving on my second day post-op. It wasn't preceded by any nausea though, it just came over me like a wave.

On the other hand, another patient who had surgery the same day as me with the same surgeon has had nausea and vomiting this whole month post-op. So it really is different for everyone.

Thanks for the reply.. I just picked up my prescription called zofran for nausea. And the hydrocodone for pain then went to the counter to pay and the hydrocodone did not cover my insurance. 100.00 bucks for that medicine.. they told me to tell the doctor to perceive me the tablets and that should cover it..

Hello there! I am 4 weeks out today. I'm allowed to eat pretty much whatever I want at this point, as long as I chew it really well. I tried to eat some carne asad, though, and it just would not go down. So I have to stay away from really dry things. My HUGE frustration is this ridiculous stall. I lost 12 pounds the first week.... and I haven't lost anything since. My energy is decent, though. I walk, walk, walk. I eat maybe 800 calories a day and get in all my Protein. So I am having a really hard time understanding the stall.

Oh, and I wasn't hungry until this week. Now all of a sudden at 3-4 hours I get hungry. Thankfully it doesn't take much to make me full.

If you are going to stray from your liquids that early on, crackers are a terrible choice! I'm not allowed to eat anything crispy or crunchy for three MONTHS post-op!

      I have no clue where to upload this, so I'll put it here. This is pre-op vs the morning of my 6 month appointment! In office I weight 232, that's 88 lbs down since my highest weight, 75 lbs since my surgery weight! I can't believe this jacket fit... I am smaller now than the last time I was this size which the surgeon found really amusing. He's happy with where I am in my weight loss and estimates I'll be around 200 lbs by my 1 year anniversary! My lowest weight as an adult is 195, so that's pretty damn exciting to think I'll be near that at a year. Everything from there will be unknown territory!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      Two years out. Lost 120 , regained 5 lbs. Recently has a bout of Norovirus, lost 7 pounds in two days. Now my stomach feels like it did right after my surgery. Sore, sensitive to even water.  Anyone out there have a similar experience?
