Yes, I know what you mean. I am going to start to gauge what amount triggers that.

Hi I was sleeved 9/22 so I am almost a month out and I have lost 21 lbs since surgery. Still a little sore under my left rib, but I wear a light compression support belt. That helps. I am trying new foods and find that eating is not so eventful when you can only take a few bites. post-301099-14767978938348_thumb.jpg post-301099-14767979162111_thumb.jpg

@@lizardqueen I feel pressure where my esophagus is - it's always 1 bite too many when that happens

That is also my first sign. If a small burp doesn't move it. It's definitely time for me to stop. I also get a runny nose.

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 9/26. Had lost 14lbs that first week and NOTHING since. The last couple of weeks have been hard as there was a death in the family that meant we had to travel out of state - and stay with family I had not told about my surgery. So I'm wondering if it's a normal adjustment or if trying to work with what they provided killed my potential. How are you all doing?

What have you been eating, and how has your Protein been? I was sleeved 9/15 and just hit the 40lb mark but I am 5'10 so it's obviously coming off me faster than others. If you're following your plan I think it's way too early to be concerned.

Great job on 40 lbs gone!

Since I haven't had much control over what food is available , I've done my best trying low sugar premade Protein shakes from the corner stores and cutting skin off of fried chicken etc. It was nearly impossible to track, so I opted not to drive myself insane. I'm doing my best to get back into a grove now that we're home. I'm hoping the scale will start moving soon!

Thank you! I'm sure once you get home and can break the bad vaca habits you'll do better. Just be very careful not to spring a leak! I just tried chicken today. Protein Bars, string cheese, etc. are your friends when you don't know what food is available.

Hey September Sleevers just checking in. It's great to see updates from everyone. I was sleeve on 9/29 and thankfully have had a very smooth few weeks. I even went back to work on my 5th day post op I felt so well. Glad to report I am 42# down since start of my pre-op diet 09/19 and 28# since surgery. I'm on soft foods for another week and then I will hopefully get cleared to start on normal foods. I look forward to seeing everyone's continued progress.

      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! 😞

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.
