Hey all! I am one week and two days out, I had the sleeve surgery. I am still on the liquid diet and I have read from others that they get full of of two spoons of food... I don't exactly feel like this is the case for me. I can have a small amounts of food but I am not getting that 'I am so full I will throw up feeling". Is that normal? Did anyone else feel like they could take in more than they think they could? I am really scared this will hinder my weight loss. I have lost ten pounds during this first week and can't wait for more to come! Thanks!

@@Sapp28 You don't want to get the "I'm so full I could throw up feeling" that's a bad sign. I guess it all depends on what it is your eating. You may just be able to tolerate more food and that's ok if your eating the right things you aren't going to put on weight. It's probably too early out for you to know exactly how you will tolerate "real" food. Just take your time and don't push it. Good luck!

Your nerves are healing and numb. Just take it slow. Trust me, you don't want that "I'm gonna throw up" feeling, but you will get it and you may just throw up, which is absolutely awful. I am almost one month out and the other day I veered off my Protein path and have two bites of a brownie. Did it without even thinking about it. Just popped them in my mouth and swallowed like pre-surgery. Didn't wait a minute in between, just did it. Well, guess what....a few minutes later I was sick as a dog and ended up throwing up. I don't think I will ever look at a brownie with that longing feeling again! From now on, every bite that goes into my mouth I will have to remember to think first, because I never want to throw up like that again. Lesson learned. Think and chew, chew, chew! Good luck on your journey! It's actually pretty cool (aside from the puking). :)

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
      Just for fun last week, I ran two 5Ks in two days, something I would have never done in the past! Next goal is a 10K before the end of this month.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️
