I had my sleeve done Aug. 27, just looking for people to chat with about how things are going.

Hey there! Imp a little late to the conversation but was sleeved on Aug 3rd. Things have been good for the most part! Certainly happy with my weight loss but I don't want to eat! I am really struggling with food! When I think about it everything sounds good, and smells good but when I think about actually eating it I feel nauseous! Anyone else have this problem? I also have had what I call a lump in my throat since week3. Its not really a lump and it comes and goes but it also gives me a sick feeling. I have tried taking Omneprozal 20mg. a day, but it doesn't seem to be helping. Any ideas?

Hi. In having the same problem with food. While in theory everything looks and smells good, I am not able to eat more than 2 bites without feeling like I've eaten a horse. Getting most of my nutrients via supplements and protein shakes. On a good morning, I am able to eat one half of a boiled egg.

My reflux is terrible and I have been suffering with nausea for the past week.

I started at 253.5. Went to 245 pre op. Now I'm going 217.finally had a weekend with mo burning in my sternum. Actually ate but damn fluids. ...cant get them in. Do u?

I do good on fluids but mostly flavored calorie free stuff - easier to get in than plain Water. I set mini targets like a glass before i leave for work, a glass when i get to work before Breakfast (I eat around 9:30) a glass between breakfast and lunch and so on, so i meet each mini target making up the required amount by the end of the day.

food wise i'm ok, not much i can't tolerate had vomiting/slimmies twice and dumping when i eat dairy. but otherwise fairly normal foods. Struggling to get my Protein in though I never make target but Surgeon seems to thinks that it's good enough for now and i'll get more in over the next few months.

2lb away from half way mark, although i know this half was the easiest and .5lb away from Onderland.

So yes 72 lb and counting Surgery weight was 411 I'm at 338 and my surgery was 8/25. I am 6'5 so I'm sure that helps. Hope everyone has a goodnight

Well I hit my first goal! Sleeved 8/24 and I'm down 30 lbs! Next goal is getting to under 200 (-19 more ). I've been stalling for about 2 wks now so I've upped the protein and calories slightly, and have started my exercising.

I know. I'm 17 pounds from 199

Omg. Under 200 makes this all worth it. Wanna come to Canada for a party when that happens?,lol. ☺☺☺Just kidding

I was sleeved August 27th and am down 32 pounds from surgery! Congrats to every person on every pound lost! Am doing pretty well but have a hard time eating because overall disinterest in food. I am able to eat basically anything and am allowed carbs but am scared of them because that's what got me here!

Does anyone get pain in the back of their throat after they eat? Not heartburn really but it is from eating.

I've had terrible pain in my throat. Sternum and stomach. Burning. Went to doctor and received med called "dexilant". Expensive but a frickin life saver. Cant get fluids or protein in still. Down 38 pounds too
