10 days out-- questions!



Recommended Posts

I had the sleeve done 4/23, I'm still on liquid diet. I'm so confused, because i hear about the "honeymoon period" where you're not hungry at all, and this hasn't been my experience AT ALL!!! I feel like im starving.

Also, in the last few days, liquid has been going down so much easier! Too easy?!? I can drink 8-10 oz of broth in one short sitting. Am i stretching out my pouch already?

And I do not have trouble at all meeting my Water goals. I put mio (calorie free flavor) in my water, and i can drink it just fine! I mean not CHUG IT, but i can do a decent gulp without it hurting my stomach like it did in the first few days. Is this bad?!?

I don't see my surgeon again until the 9th (6 more days).

I was sleeved on the 25th, and have had no real hunger and I’ve had a challenging time getting in fluids.

I have heard of others having an experience more like yours, though.

And please believe me, as your food path gets thicker things added you will find LESS feels like More! You have quite a road ahead but you are strong, you will be successful, and it all will be so worth it!
I had self-doubts in the begining, but now I am 8 months out, I have lost nearly 100 pounds since surgery, 140 since my highest recorded weight. This is at 73 years old and the Baseline Metabolism Rate of a Sick Sea Snail. I had a bunch of minor struggles so I didnt bounce back rapidly as most. But my body finally caught the reducing big and I am rocking it. Started out in 28 and 30W, I am now a 20 and soon heading for an 18 because my slacks, which I got on clearance at Wal-Mart, unless I can sew belt loops on, they are coming close to falling off, especially if I take a deep breath in and I find it fantabulous. Don't remember when I was THIS SMALL- maybe after Tomkitten's birth and he will turn 40 on the 12th of June. Oh I have some saggy stretched skin, but it is controlled- able and nothing beats being so much smaller. I used to have a BIG BOOTY, belly still loose but my rump is getting toward normalcy, maybe that's why my pants are falling
down, I no longer have a fat shelf to hang them from! 😛🚩😛

      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!

        Have a great Wednesday too! Sorry you're hungry all the time, I'm pretty much the same..and I'm sick of eating the same food all the time.

      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!!
