Sleeved Men: Before and After / Advice and Support



Recommended Posts

Ok so I had the vertical sleeve on 1/11/17. I haven't seen many men posting here and would like to start this thread/group consisting of only guys. We lose weight differently than women and our bodies adjust differently. We eat differently and our mindset can be different as well. So guys let's see your before and after and help each other out with any advice, support, recipes, exercise, etc. that could motivate each other!

Being so new to BP I gather you are not aware that there is a GUY's Room group on this site. This is a place for men to discuss everything from Weight Loss Surgery complications, diet, and concerns, to any other off-topic subjects

Perhaps this link will help you. http://www.bariatricpal.com/forum/431-the-guys%E2%80%99-room/

Hey John

I was sleeved on the 01/11/17 and I'm doing really well 3 weeks a 1 day after surgery and I've lost 17kgs thus far

I haven't been hungry what's so ever but thirsty as. So I'm enjoying Icy pols and cold fluids. Drinking fluids isn't an issue but it's all about sip sip sip, have forgotten. A few times due to extreme thirst and has to deal with that blockGe feeling but only lasted a few seconds

So happy I decided to get sleeved

We aren't as vocal and chatty as our female friends. More often than not there are a lot of discussions about feelings, food, or fashion. I'm not sure how many male vets are left around here, but after a while we just get tired of the same questions over and over. It's not that there is anything wrong with the questions, we just don't have anything new to add to the discussion because the 6 month to a year members have already taken over the role of answering the common questions.

I have several threads and/or posts on workouts or food ideas. Snoop around and dredge some of them up if you want to generate some discussion on those topics!

Welcome to the forum and good luck.

      Two months out from hiatal hernia repair.  Surgeon said to expect a lot more flatulence...something about the 'air' no longer being able to 'burp' out so comes out the other end.  That is my experience but have no understanding of why that swallowed air cannot be 'burped'. ???

        As I understand it since your stomach is smaller and not completely resting against your diaphragm anymore you no longer have the ability to "push" burps out as well. Plus, since its smaller and we don't digest slower the trapped air moves a lot quicker out of the stomach so its no longer available to burp out. Hence the other option for removal.

        Me too girl!! Are you in the full liquid diet right now? It’s sooooo hard!

      2. LadyVeteran1

        Not yet. I was told I only have to do 24 hours of a liquid diet. But I have my pre-op tomorrow so I’m going to confirm if I need to do longer.

        Your so close now! It's gonna be great :) Wishing you a speedy recovery and looking forward to seeing how it goes!

      Down 33 lbs and slightly stalled, but I'm gonna reevaluate and push through. I started back to work last week after 2 years of being disabled due to mental health as well as my weight. It's a great job and I'm just so happy to have this opportunity at a second chance at life. Hope everyone is having their best journey ❤️ Together, we got this!
