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.

      Thank you everyone for your well wishes! I totally forgot I wrote an update here... I'm one week post op today. I gained 15 lbs in water weight overnight because they had to give me tons of fluids to bring my BP up after surgery! I stayed one night in the hospital. Everything has been fine except I seem to have picked up a bug while I was there and I've been running a low grade fever, coughing, and a sore throat. So I've been hydrating well and sleeping a ton. So far the Covid tests are negative.
      I haven't been able to advance my diet past purees. Everything I eat other than tofu makes me choke and feels like trying to swallow rocks. They warned me it would get worse before it gets better, so lets hope this is all normal. I have my follow up on Monday so we'll see. Living on shakes and soup again is not fun. I had enough of them the first time!! LOL

      Still purging all of the larger clothing. This morning, a shirt that I ADORED wearing ended up on top. Hard to let it go, but it was also hard to let go of those habits that also no longer serve my highest good. Onward and upward!

      Well, tomorrow I go in for an impromptu hiatal hernia repair after ending up in the ER over the weekend because I couldn't get food down and water was moving at a trickle... I've been having these symptoms on and off for a few weeks but Sunday was the worst by far and came with chest pain and trouble breathing. The ER PA thinks it is just esophagitis and that the surgeon and radiologist are wrong. But the bariatric surgeon swears it is a hernia, possibly a sliding one based on my symptoms. So he fit me into his schedule this week to repair it! I hope he's right and this sorts it out. He's going to do a scope afterwards to be sure there is nothing wrong with the esophagus. Here's hoping it all goes well!!
