Can't wait til we get thru a few months and get to a good point. At week 4, I would still get diarrhea quite often, thankfully that stopped. Last night I fell asleep at 6:15 woke up at 9:10, went back to sleep, up at 1:40 and went back to sleep til 5 am, back to sleep till got up at 6 am to shower and get to work. I think our bodies do require a lot of rest, it was a big part of us removed. Does take a while for it to heal no matter how great we feel at times. No chills, feel great today, so insane is the yo yo of feeling good, and freezing/chills. I read that is one of the #1 side effects, feeling cold.

I did notice I'm freezing most of the time. Before surgery I never wore a jacket outside or used blankets, I was always hot or sweating. Been getting very nauseous every time I eat lately, even throwing up,doc says I'm eating too fast but it takes a good hour to eat dinner which is only a couple of tablespoons

I will say after week 7, eating and DRINKING (it was brutal for me to drink enough before) has really changed. Wow, I can't believe that it takes you an hour just for a couple of tablespoons and you are still throwing up. What kind of foods are you eating now? I know 2 weeks ago, I couldn't even half of what I eat now. So sorry you are going thru that, can you just try going back to just the Protein drinks, and puddings for a while?

Any kind of fish especially tuna gets me. I can handle soft vegetables and ground up chicken pretty good. I'm only 5 weeks so hopefully like you the next few weeks will get better. I still would do this again even knowing what I know now.

Tuna was so hard for me, that I had split a can I guess at your stage, and haven't done tuna since. I have like 10 cans/pouches and still not ready to go back and try it. It's strange how after surgery and these issues have happened, there are so many foods I don't want. I just had egg yesterday, they got to a point I can't even stand the smell. Don't even mention smells, I hate the smell off foods. UGH! I made some chorizo stuff for my hub last night, as soon as it was ready I ran into my bedroom and was just so grossed out by the smells. There are many scents I can't stand either. Like you said, I would probably do it again.....even though I am at a snail's pace.

Still stalled. No movement and I'm starting to lose it. I may wind up as the only person on these boards who says that given the chance they wouldn't do it again:(

Yes it is weird definitely. Now it seems like even the smell of any kind of fish makes me gag. I'd rather drink a shake then eat a couple tablespoons of tuna or any fish. Things that I loved before the surgery makes me gag at even the thought of. Finally lost four more pounds after a stall.

YAY!!! Four pounds ....woohoo!! Well, you know I had been in a stall and finally, not much but saw the scale move a little another 1.5 lbs. How true, even the thought of it.

I had my surgery Jan 26

Lost 40 in 4 weeks but it slowed down a lot. Seems like I won't lose for days, then all of sudden I'll lose 3-4 pounds. Can't complain, I know the big stall will come.
Still rather be sick of the smell and most foods then be craving them. While I was in the hospital, I was craving Chinese food.

Hang in there. According to everyone it will come off. Just remember we're not eating like we used to so we have to lose.

I had my Sleeve done January 9th 2017 and am very happy, I would be happy to answer any questions.
Started high December weight 315, date of surgery 299 today March 6th 254.

Sleeve Jan 27

I am doing great, as I am starting to eat gets easier, I have my 6 weeks post op tomorrow, I have lost 50 lbs since I started, 20 pre-op the rest after the surgery. If I can say something is that I am having a hard time to move to the soft stage foods, unsure why something to discuss with the dietician I guess I am worried about hurting my stomach.

Had my 6 week check up this past Thursday. Lost a total of 52lbs so far, but only 5 in two weeks. Still can't complain. About at my half way point. Doctor said just like everyone on here said expect stalls.
