Ok I finally feel better enough to understand update. Right now there’s a lot of pain. I’m sipping 30 ml of Water about every 2 hours. And every cup with the exception of the first has made me vomit. The nurse said this is normal. But yo vomit hurts sooooo bad. I got up to walk about a half hour ago. That wasn’t bad. It actually relieved some of the gas.

June 1 here. Almost 3 weeks post op. Had some complications so longer healing time. Starting full liquids Friday for a week then on to puréed foods. Losing steadily. Really hard to keep hydrated. Very little hunger.

I've stalled. I need to stop weighing everyday. I do feel better; less light headed, a bit more energy. Ready to hit the gym, but I'm still scared I'll pass out. :-(

Finally getting to have my 30ml of broth. My throat being dry was the worst.

I’m so sorry you can’t keep anything down. They gave me some mint sponge thing to rub on my teeth, but it didn’t help the dryness.

Hello! June 12th sleever here! I feel like I’m getting used to the restrictions of my stomach with liquids, at least, but I’m sure it’ll be a different story when I start on soft foods next Thursday. I’ve had a rough couple of days - partly because I’m still exhausted and I feel guilty that my poor kid has been stuck at home with me all week because a short trip to the store wipes me out every day. I’ve just felt kind of depressed the past couple of days but I’m sure it’ll start to get better.

Aside from that, I’m happy with my loss - 224 before the pre-op diet, 198.8 a week after surgery. Hope to meet some new folks here!

Hi all! I just found this forum. I had my sleeve on June 1, and have lost just over 20 lbs. I've moved from just Protein Powder and diabetic Boost to cream Soups and yougurt. (Cream of chicken Soup never tasted so good!) My problem is I can't get enough calories in or enough Water. I should be drinking 5 cups a day, but I can't get in more than 2. Every time I eat anything, or take my suppliments, I'm so full that I can't get even water in without a lot of discomfort. It's like I"m full up to my throat. So I'm great as long as I'm sitting doing nothing, but moving around makes me dizzy and weak. I'm not sure how I'll be able to go back to work if I can't figure this out. Any ideas?

I'm having lots of Protein powder, incuding a tablespoon in every 1/2 cup of soup, but it isnt enough. Yesterday I managed around 500 calories, but only 49 grams of protein...

I just saw my profile on the left - yes, my starting weight in the bariatric program was 310, but I was 285 on surgery day - so 20 lbs lost.

      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
