3 months out...



Recommended Posts

It's weird, today I've had an egg and a piece of turkey bacon just a bit ago. Went down fine. I think I just have random "episodes." Could this still be stricture?

Yes, it could still be a stricture. The exact same thing happened to me and happened for about 6 weeks before I hit the point that I couldn't keep anything down. I had eaten peanuts and not chewed well enough and apparently peanuts do not digest very well, so a tiny piece got stuck in that tiny hole and then even once I got it out, everything was too irritated for me to do anything else. Breakfast always went ok but then it seemed that everything I added to it (even soup) just keep stacking up and filling up into my esophagus until I had to get it out. Once I finally could get everything back out, I felt totally fine. By the time I went to ER worried about dehydration, I felt perfectly fine. CT Scan found nothing. They sent me home. 2 days later I was getting the dilation. BUT if that is what it is, don't be scared. It is a fairly easy fix for an experienced surgeon or GI specialist.

I had mines Aug 18th and just git to the point we're I could keep food down when I asked my doctor she said that my stomach may not have been ready for solid foods yet and to not worry an stay on soft an mushy an to slowly keep trying to eat solids so now it's been like 2 weeks were I'm eating solids and somethings I can only take a few bites and full then feel the need to up chuck and other foods stay down fine.... I started at 327 and im at 283 I'm at a stand still it's been 2 weeks but I'm thinking it's because I'm finely eating solids. I'm going to start lightly working out to see if that moves along the stand still but can't do much excercise do to back issues. I'm happy with the bypass so far I honestly thought I was going to loose weight way to fast like my father an cousin who look like a size 0. I first had the sleeve and loved it but later had complications do to another doctors error and almost died but this new surgeon said i had to have the bypass to salvage my stomach an feel better, Thank God for his grace and Mercy I am thankful for a second chance.....

      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? 🤷‍♀️
