Newbie, sleeved 3 days ago. Plz help



Recommended Posts

Hi all!

I was sleeved on Thursday morning and since then I’ve had overwhelming regret.

I’m SO nauseous and my heartburn is so extreme. I can’t even drink any Water. I’m starting to feel so weak from having nothing in my system. I’m

So scared that this is my new reality and I’ve made a big mistake. I’m at a really low point.

I had bad reflux before I even had the surgery, but my surgeon assured me I wouldn’t have a problem. Well here I am.

I was sleeved 9/25, and it is definitely rough the first week or so, but trust me it will get better. Did the doctor prescribe something for the reflux , I didn't have reflux before but I have it now and I take prilosec once a day before and it helps

The first few days to a week is crappy, no doubt about it. So much so that it was difficult for me to tell one problem from the next, for the first 1-2 days. You will feel better each day but if you don’t feel better even just a bit since surgery I would contact my team if I were you.
As for the acid reflux... not saying you do, but I mixed up gas pain and acid reflux those first 1-2 days when I had an overwhelming general crappiness but I started taking prilosec otc the 3rd day and I had been taking it for 2 weeks prior in prepration. When that didn’t suffice for 1-2 nights I ended up taking Tums with my surgeon’s blessing.

The most important thing is Water, water, water... careful to sip only. And walk!!

I promise it will get better!! Just a few more days and then every day will get better. It’s just part of the process, keep trying your Water. I can’t say much about Protein intake, because I wasn’t very good about drinking it, but the regret will pass as the days do.
Keep your chin up, and just rest for now [emoji813]️

Exactly my thoughts:) I can feel your frustration. Don’t worry, that feeling will go away in a few days, maybe a week.

Ive done a lot of reading on fasting which is essentially what your experiencing not having food. You have nothing to worry about. People have lived without food for over a year and not died. Water is obviously important. Im no doctor but thats what I read that a doctor said...Dr Jason Fung who wrote The Obesity Code. Very informative book by the way.

After my surgery which was in 2014 I had the absolute worst heartburn and acid reflex I didn’t experience any nausea but the acid reflex and heartburn is totally normal and it will subside I promise you just have to give it a little bit of time

Hi thanks so much for checking in. So it’s been exactly a month since my surgery. I’m doing wayyyy better. My reflux is being pretty well controlled with the omeprazole. I’m also down around 45 pounds.
(This includes Weight lost from my pre op liquid diet)
Overall, I’m not regretting my sleeve anymore, it’s still a huge adjustment. I’m definitely in a better place now.

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

      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?

      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! 😞
