How is everyone doing who has gastric sleeve this month?



Recommended Posts

I am 23 days out from my sleeve surgery. I have had an incredibly hard time drinking Water and getting anything down me. I cannot handle the Protein shakes without vomiting. Yesterday and today have been a bit better, but I am constantly nauseas. The exhaustion and nausea took me off guard. Oh well! I in for the long haul and still convinced that I did the absolute best thing for me at this time in my life. I am down 43 lbs from my initial consultation weight and down 40 lbs from my surgery day! While I HATE the nausea, I LOVE the weight loss!

Hi yall !

I was sleeved on 7-23 and am soft foods but really have little to no desire to eat. I have still not been able to get in all my Protein or liquids in for any given day. It's tough...but I am trying. Tonight I have a bit of a headache and dehydration is always in my mind. debating on getting an IV.. but I keep telling myself it's not that severe. I went back to work pt this week and am pretty tired and I do get foggy a bit.

I am down 28 pounds..on the positive side and have been able to walk 20 mins a day ..on the days I have some energy.

Losing has become slow going for me. But I'm trying to track what I eat and incorporate exercise when possible. Unfortunately due to smoke from the many nearby fires, outdoor exercise has been hampered.

I've not hit my Protein requirements even once since going to purée foods. I just can't face the shakes any more. Blood test this week and meeting with surgeon and dietician beginning of next week. Looking forward to chewing!!

      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!!

        So proud of you Cat. Getting into those smaller size clothes is half the fun isn't it?. Keep up the good work!!!!

      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?

      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! 😞

        I may have to have gall bladder surgery during my weight loss surgery. Not thrilled about it either but do not want 2 recovery times. Just want it over with.

        Thanks for your post. I may need to rethink my decision... :(
