3 weeks post op and feel no restriction



Recommended Posts

I've heard people on here say u will feel the restriction when u start eating more solid foods. liquids flow easier through the sleeve.

I didn't feel any restriction on liquids. When I went to puree, I started feeling restriction depending on what I ate. eggs gave me a lot of restriction but cottage cheese doesn't fill me up at all. Now that I'm eating ground turkey and beef, I really feel it. At 6 weeks, I'm at around 2 oz.

I had rny and feel the same way, I feel like I could eat normal but of course I don't try it. I'm only eating very soft things. Scrambled egg and cottage cheese is probably as far as I push it right now. I'm almost 2 weeks out.

I am also 3 weeks post op with the same lack of feeling " full". I am trying to make sure I stick to 4oz at time to make sure it isn't a result of the incision that severed nerves that need time to heal.

I am one week and one day post op today and was talking with Gail my patient coordinator from the hospital, I love her. I was concerned with how much I was getting down a day. I am getting in all my Protein and my Water, grant it it will take me about an hour or so do finish a shake but I'm doing it. I guess I am feeling full since I am not feeling hungry? If that makes sense?

Gail says I am doing just great and to keep doing what I am doing. She also said like other that have posted when you start eating more dense foods you will feel fuller faster and not be able to get as much down,.

I have decided to be extremely happy with my progress and thank my lucky stars!!!

      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.

      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?

      April Surgery
      Am I the only struggling to get weight down. I started with weight of 297 and now im 280 but seem to not lose more weight. My nutrtionist told me not to worry about the pounds because I might still be losing inches. However, I do not really see much of a difference is this happen to any of you, if so any tips?
      Thanks

      Well recovering from gallbladder removal was a lot like recovering from the modified duodenal switch surgery, twice in 4 months yay 🥳😭. I'm having to battle cravings for everything i shouldn't have, on top of trying to figure out what happens after i eat something. Sigh, let me fast forward a couple of months when everyday isn't a constant battle and i can function like a normal person again! 😞
