Recommended Posts

Hey!!!

So iv seen that im able to eat a bit more then I have been!? Why is this?! Im 5 months out of gastric sleeve. Eating has become a lot more tolerable. But Iv been able to eat a bit more. I usually cant seem to toss down more then maybe 4 oz or so. The other day I was able to drink at least 6 oz with no issue!!! :0 I know I know Im dramatic! lol But yeah Iv also been on a stall, iv lost maybe 20 pounds in the last three months. I know Its going to slow down but this fast this soon? Iv lost 82lbs since surgery. I just need so clarification you guys! :)

You've lost 16 pounds a month on average and even if 7 ponds each of the last 3 months, how is that a stall or a slow-down? That is AWESOME! I don't think 6 oz is going to stretch your pouch.

We're about at the same place :)

I can eat about 4 ounces if it's just Protein, but if I'm eating veggies too then it's a bit more. Water I haven't had any problems with since surgery and can drink almost as if I never had the surgery. In the time it takes me to wake up in the morning and get ready, then the drive into work, I drink 34 ounces of water. It's about 1.5 hours. At work before lunch it's another 34 ounces most of the time, and then slows down throughout the rest of the day. Although I do consistently get in around 120 ounces daily.

You've lost a lot more than me, but there are so many variables. Just focus on protein and hydration, stay active, and you'll get where you want to be.

      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!!

      Having gall bladder surgery in a few days and I so hope the recovery is easier than the one from the modified DS! I could use a bit of luck/pep talk for a change. I'm starting to be able to walk around without experiencing dizziness, but it would be great if the random pain in my chest and abdomen would go away!!
