I had the same thing with the burps. It got better after a few days. I even vomited in the hospital, which made me pee all over my bed and myself. That was fun calling the nurse for. Just keep an eye out. Do the breathing exercise. It will pass!

I’ve been having avocado and chew up chicken really good. Also boil eggs and mash it up with a little bit of olive oil mayo. I had beef stew lol just beef and chewed it up really good. tuna with olive oil mayo. Yea That’s about it for me so far and feeling fine.
Have you felt that uncomfortable feeling in your sternum?

Thank you! I’m trying to push through it. I don’t want to keep feeling weak.

Hi everyone! I’m trying to catch up on everyone’s posts. I’m on page 39 now. I was sleeved on nov 27 and am still really tired. I’m also super sad and not sure why. I’m questioning why I did this to myself.
Same here.. last night I was kicking myself in the behind. Wondering why did I have to go through all of this. Why couldn’t I just eat healthier. But I knew it was not going to change, and this is a tool to help us! Keep your head up. ❤️

Thereamtz, I am going through something similar. I was sleeved on 11/28 and I dealt with a very sore throat the first couple of days. That has gotten better. I am still burping everytime I drink, and I am not able to get more than 12 ounces of liquids in. Hopefully it will get better soon. I will say that walking had seemed to help a lot. I hope you stay to feel better soon.

Hi everyone, new to this site! I was sleeved on 11/19/18. My energy is coming back & I’m able to drink & eat my puréed foods without the feeling in my sternum, but struggling to get the full 64 oz in. I think my biggest struggle is that I feel fine & have to remind myself I still cannot eat yet. I miss chewing!

I have my 2 week appointment coming up on Wednesday. I’m just curious, I look through all my paperwork and all I seen is no solid food until after 14 days. I thought the purée stage was next? Or is every doctor different?

If we could have done it on our own, we would have! It would have been a lot easier. I NEED the restriction. Although I did go through a day of "what the heck did I do", I know I would still be 265 lbs and adding if I didn't do something.

Can I just suck on a vegetable or something!?! Lmao this is unnatural 😂

We’ll survive girls! Glad I found this forum. I’m in some FB groups and some people are rude and judgmental. Well I’ve taken my pain meds and I’m going to try and rest. Hope tomorrow is a pain free day, for all of us. ♥️ goodnight.

      Iʻm roughly 6 weeks post-op this morning and have begun to feel like a normal human, with a normal human body again. I started introducing solid foods and pill forms of medications/supplements a couple of weeks ago and it's really amazing to eat meals with my family again, despite the fact that my portions are so much smaller than theirs. 
      I live on the island of Oʻahu and spend a lot of time in the water- for exercise, for play,  and for spiritual & mental health. The day I had my month out appointment with my surgeon, I packed all my gear in my truck, anticipating his permission to get back in the ocean. The minute I walked out of that hospital I drove straight to the shore and got in that water. Hallelujah! My appointment was at 10 am. I didn't get home until after 5 pm. 
      I'm down 31 pounds since the day of surgery and 47 since my pre-op diet began, with that typical week long stall occurring at three weeks. I'm really starting to see some changes lately- some of my clothing is too big, some fits again. The most drastic changes I notice however are in my face. I've also noticed my endurance and flexibility increasing. I was really starting to be held up physically, and I'm so grateful that I'm seeing that turn around in such short order. 
      My general disposition lately is hopeful and motivated. The only thing that bugs me on a daily basis still is the way those supplements make my house smell. So stink! But I just bought a smell proof bag online that other people use to put their pot in. My house doesn't stink anymore.

      Oh yeah, something I wanted to rant about, a billing dispute that cropped up 3 months ago.
      Surgery was in August of 2023. A bill shows up for over $7,000 in January. WTF? I asks myself. I know that I jumped through all of the insurance hoops and verified this and triple checked that, as did the surgeon's office. All was set, and I paid all of the known costs before surgery.
      A looong story short, is that an assistant surgeon that was in the process of accepting money from my insurance company touched me while I was under anesthesia. That is what the bill was for. But hey, guess what? Some federal legislation was enacted last year to help patients out when they cannot consent to being touched by someone out of their insurance network. These types of bills fall under something called, "surprise billing," and you don't have to put up with it.
      https://www.cms.gov/nosurprises
      I had to make a lot of phone calls to both the surgeon's office and the insurance company and explain my rights and what the maximum out of pocket costs were that I could be liable for. Also had to remind them that it isn't my place to be taking care of all of this and that I was going to escalate things if they could not play nice with one another.
      Quick ending is that I don't have to pay that $7,000+. Advocate, advocate, advocate for yourself no matter how long it takes and learn more about this law if you are ever hit with a surprise bill.

      Some days I feel like an infiltrator... I'm participating in society as a "thin" person. They have no idea that I haven't always been one of them! 🤣

      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!
