I can't drink without gulping air lol!

I have been worried about this...whenever I try to sip, I swallow air too. It's like I will have to learn how to drink all over again!!!

So, I'm on day two of surgery. I drink the little medicine cups of Water and it then the eater sits in my esophogus for a long while, and it feels like the water tries to come back up, even when sleeping. The barium swallow before surgery saw a small hiatel hernia. My batistric doc says she doesn't do repairs. Just a bit concerning.

I am also HUngry! I was so bummed, because I Wanted to be one of those people that get a break from hunger. Were/are any of you hungry? How are you coming along?

Sleeved on the 3rd and down 44lbs. Honestly, I've been kind of pushing the diet to see what if anything causes discomfort or dumping. Salmon has been the only meat that isn't sitting well...all other fish does fine. I eat way too much chili and chicken noodle Soup. A tamale even went down great. I maybe have had some drinks too. So far smooth sailing and weight still melting off.

I had my surgery 2/18 I get full very easily. 4 baby spoonfuls and I'm done! sugar free Popsicles seem easier to get fluids in but I limit two a day maybe try that. Yogurt (which I did not like before surgery) is the easiest on my stomach. Hope that helps!

How much can you eat and how often? I'm having a hard time. They say "stop when you feel full" but I always feel stuffed!! Today I only had 30oz Fluid (8oz of that a Protein shake) and about 6 baby spoonfuls of food. Only at 350 calories for the day!! And not even close to my protein but I don't feel like I can squeeze in anymore. How did you feel a week out? I also test foods have not gotten nauseated once knock on wood.

Are you taking Prilosec or something like that. It will stop the rumbling. The rumbling is from over production of stomach acid. The constant rumble Also causes you to think you are hungry.

Sleeved 2/8. Today I only had 2 small meals and no hunger. The most important thing right now is fluids and Protein. I am not doing great at getting either. I had about 1.5 oz of chicken and 1.5 tablespoons of cottage cheese for lunch. 1/2 a grilled ham and cheese and about 1/2 cup of Tomato Soup for dinner. The rest has been Fluid. I am down 26 pounds so far. Stomach emptying slowly is not a bad thing. If you feel extremely full after very little food, it may be gas. Make sure you take your gas relief. Also, I usually burp or get hiccups when I am full. Hope this helps.

      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? 🤷‍♀️

      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.

      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!!
