I had my sleeve surgery Dec 17, 2018. The process was rather stretchy in the beginning. Iv,urine screen needle in stomach. Blood work. Last weight. After surgery the pain was horrific. I remember telling them im at a 10 a 10!! There wee guving me something that wasnt working. I remember a lady brung me a ginger ame with a straw. I immediately started sipping not thinking smh. I told her i cant have a straw or carbonated beverage. She told me it was fine. Which was not. I waited in recovery probably a hour. Then I went to a room. Pain was too much. I did get up and walk alot. I couldn’t release any gas only burping. I still cant stand up straight. The only incision that hurts is the main one. I haven’t been able to get any food down. Everything is nasty. Water is my best friend. Nausea is the worst and when you throw it is the wirst. Looks like greasy phlegm. Its so nasty.

I have a friend who went though the surgery and started to experience weight gain on only 1400 calories a day . She started working with a very good Nutritiomist and physiologist and started dropping weight while eating 2000 calories a day . She works out differently , heavier weight workouts versus cardio and eats some really different protein rich things

Thank you I know everyone and every surgery is as individualized as each one of us. Sent from Zebby's SM-G950U using BariatricPal mobile app

I know there are hundreds of posts about stalls... However, mine is now really bothering me. I have been stalled, bouncing between the same 3 lbs for a month now. I’m only 4 1/2 months post op. I have been getting my 60+ grams of protein, I’ve been getting my 70 oz of water, if I eat a carb it because I have a little room left and it’s a healthy carb. I’m exercising 2-3 times a week cardio and doing weights every day at home. I take my vitamins. I am beyond frustrated and want to cry. I was on a great steady pace the first 3 months, averaging 10 lbs a month. Everyone keeps saying take advantage of this first 6-12 months...it’s hard to stay positive when you feel like you’ve lost one of those months. Any help would be so appreciated.

Thank you so much the pain is still bad walking and sitting but just laying with a pillow in my bk is better

You can manipulate protein powder into muffins, pancakes and even waffles. Tons of online tutorials! Safe Journey 🎈

Not knew, KNEE, one in December 2014, one in February 2017. And they never will be as strong as a natural one, about 85% efficient but still better than before the operations. Each of us has some weak points, but we learn to handle and do it with grace.😝

Counterpoint: making a bunch of different kinds of cookies is a LOT of work, and maybe being off the hook for that duty will feel good.

I had my surgery in April 2018. I took the vitamins like I was supposed to but found they made me sick to my stomach. I stopped after month 2. I went for my 3 month check up and everything was perfect. I have recently noticed my right foot starts to tingle like it's falling asleep and is sort of numb on the top. This starts when I get home and doesn't really get better until I get up the next day and start moving around. I started taking my vitamins again yesterday in hopes that it might be a vitamin deficiency. Has anyone else experienced this? Thanks in advance!
