I am 3 weeks post op and I am suppose to be getting on to soft foods now. I am having a lot of trouble with getting foods down.In fact I am having food and liquid intolerances. I definetly can't drink any Protein Shakes yet. I am still mashing up all of my food or I am trying to eat very soft food.I am still experiencing nausea and sometimes vomiting. Today in fact I was sick twice and also yesterday once in the car. Also 2 of my incisions are infected. Even the day of surgery I was very sick and in a lot of pain. The Dr had to see me in his office that night to remove some of the saline that was placed in my band during surgery.He said I would feel a lot better,but as soon as I got back home I was vomiting again and gut wrenching till the next day.I would like to know if there is anyone else out there having these same problems?:scared2:

I am not having those problems... i've only been banded for a day now. It sounds like ur band is still too tight if you can't keep fluids down. It may also be because of the infections. Call your Dr. asap and update him, this would be my suggestion. Good luck

You need to contact your doctor about this.

      Hi everyone, I wrote back in May about having no strength. I still get totally exhausted just walking from room to room, it’s so bad I’m using a walker with wheels of all things. I had the gastric sleeve Jan. 24th. I’m doing exactly what the programs says, except protein shakes. I have different meats and protein bars daily, including vitamins daily. I do drink my fluids as well.  I go in for IV hydration 4 days a week and feel ok just til evening.  So far as of Jan 1st I’ve dropped 76 lbs. I just want to enjoy the weight lose. Any suggestions or has anyone else gone thru this??  Doctor says just increase calorie intake, still the same.

      Losing my hair in clumps and still dealing with "stomach" issues from gallbladder removal surgery. On the positive side I'm doing better about meeting protein and water goals and taking my vitamins, so yay? 🤷‍♀️

      I've hit a stall 9 months out. I'm not worried, though. My fitness levels continue to improve and I have nearly accomplished my pre-surgery goal of learning to scuba dive! One dive left to complete to get my PADI card 🐠
      I was able to go for a 10K/6mile hike in the mountains two days ago just for the fun of it. In the before days, I might have attempted this, but it would have taken me 7 or 8 hours to complete and I would have been exhausted and in pain for the next two days. Taking my time with breaks for snacks and water, I was finished with my wee jaunt in only 4 hours 😎 and really got to enjoy photographing some insects, fungi, and turtles.
