Filled Up! 8 weeks post op



Recommended Posts

I am 7 weeks out, and for almost a week and a half now my ability to eat has taken a nosedive. Before, I was eating the suggested potion sizes. Now, I can barely eat a few bites before feeling like I ate a horse. I am following all of my surgeons rules about liquids, too.
I hope to speak with a nurse tomorrow. This stinks





After speaking to the nurse, they wanted to see me asap. The doctor had me go in for a scope yesterday. I had a stricture and gastritis. They used a ballon to expand the tight spot.

The only thing that hurt when I work up was my eye. Somehow I got a scratch during surgery! They gave me some antibiotic numbing drops and sent me home.

I am now on Carafate 4x a day. I am so hopeful and ready to get back on track.

Lol....FYI...2 bites was a descriptive generalization. Not meant to be a standard of weight . Lol. Thanks for your comment and experience though. That's what we are all here for!! [emoji4]




I can only dream of being able to feel full on two spoonfuls of anything!

Sorry to hear it ended up being a complication. Glad you're getting sorted out!

Just keep taking the antacids. Other than that, there isn't anything I know of. It's kinda a natural consequence of the healing/scarring process. The scar just pulls tight.

Sorry to hear about your complication. But thank goodness you mentioned your problem on here and listened to the advice of others and got help. Hope you are on the mend now and doing better. :)

Wow... so you went from being able to eat "a lot" to eating very little? I kinda hope that happens to me, too. I am 4 weeks po, and I feel like I can eat a lot...

I totally agree, that's why I'm going through all of this so I can feel full with less food because now I never feel full. June 21 St is my sleeve date and I can't wait.

I am doing just fine now! It seems that I am still getting used to everything and how "it feels" compared to how I used to eat. I am so enjoying this journey! Thank you all for responding and joining in on the conversation. I'm glad I didn't have any problems and to those of you who think you might, always best to check it out with your doctor for sure!! Thanks everyone!

      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!!

      I changed my profile image to a molecule of protein. Why? Because I am certain that it saved my life.

        That's brilliant! You've done amazing!! I should probably think about changing my profile picture at some point. Mine is the doll from Squid Games. Ironically the whole premise of the show is about dodging death. We've both done that...

      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
