SAME.

mines been going on since i first started solid foods. lol Every time i you can ear it gurgling in there like "SEND ME MORE" LOL its annoying but i got use to it

Slowing down did help. It took me 30 min for my lunch.

It was so frustrating at first!!! My husband is a great encourager though, and he pulled me through it all. I can tell I'm losing inches just from how my clothes fit/don't fit. I wish I would have measured a few areas & kept up with that. I think I would have seen my progress in a tape measure when I didn't see it on the scale. Keep up the great work!

Hello everyone! I am 3 months and 1 week post-op from my gastric bypass. My scales are reading 198-201 lbs - very exciting!! I have lost 90 lbs from my highest weight (about 50 lbs since surgery). I have a chocolate fairlife protein shake every morning for breakfast; for lunch i eat 2oz of cottage cheese and 2oz of chicken salad; then supper is a little bit of whatever we are having as a family. Occasionally i just have a peanut butter protein shake for supper. I am not hungry much and I get full pretty quickly. I'm off my acid reflux medicine. I'm making many trips to the thrift shops for clothes. I can get down on the floor (and back up) to play with my grandson! I walk my dog and go up/down the stairs at work & at home. My energy level is terrific! I can go out and do errands, then come home and still do other things (no constant napping). Life is good!! I had a stall just a week after my surgery. I followed all the rules exactly, but didn't lose a pound for 3 weeks. Since then i've been losing a pound every couple of days or so. Exercise: I wear a fitbit and have a goal of 6000 steps a day. I am usually meeting that! I've had to work up to it gradually. I may start going to the gym once a week for a little weight training - but nothing strenuous. Also, might do zumba once a week at my church (very low key). I am so thankful for the surgery. Also thankful for this forum where everyone is encouraging and helpful. Hope everyone is doing well!!

Sorry you are struggling. A lot of people struggle early out, and they say it gets better. It will get better. Based on your post, it seems your surgeon disregarded you not being able to eat due to all the other concerns they found. Maybe you should revisit that with your surgeon, even with a phone call. Good luck and I hope you start feeling better soon.

omg yes. sleeping (or ever just sitting and getting up from a seated/laying position) after tummy tuck was the WORST! congrats on the TT btw, it will get better soon enough and it will be AMAZING!

1. You can get a sleeve if you want to, but it's not necessary. I've had my left arm amputated twice before and have been able to live a normal life without any problems. I don't think it's necessary to have a sleeve. If you do choose to have a sleeve, make sure you're getting one that fits properly. There are some sleeves out there that are way too big and cause a lot of pain. Also, make sure you're having it done by someone who knows what they're doing. 2. You'll need to learn how to use prosthetics. You'll need to learn how your prosthetic works and how to care for it. Make sure you know how to clean it, oil it, and adjust it. You'll also need to learn how to put it on and take it off. 3. You'll need to find a good prosthetist. Make sure you find a good prosthetists who specializes in amputees. Most people who have a limb removed end up going to a doctor who does general orthopedics. These doctors aren't trained to work with prosthetics. A good prosthetist should be able to help you figure out what size socket you need and where to place it. 4. You'll need to buy new clothes. If you decide to go ahead with a sleeve, you'll probably need to buy new clothes since you won't be able to wear your old ones anymore. 5. You'll need to get fitted for a new prosthesis. This means finding a prosthetist who specializes in amputee prosthetics. Once you find him/her, make sure you tell them about your situation and ask them questions about your options. 6. You'll need to start taking medication again. When you have a sleeve, you'll need to start taking medications again. Your doctor may prescribe you different types of drugs depending on what kind of amputation you had. 7. You'll need to deal with depression. Depression is something that many people struggle with after losing a limb. Make sure you talk to your doctor about ways to combat this problem.

Not to be "that guy" but the procedure is called a Roux-En-Y

never really heard of people going from bypass to a sleeve revision. dont really get how that works because a sleeve is basically getting rid of 85% of your stomach and giving you a sleeve. Bypass is even more restrictive with a smaller pouch but the other part of the stomach remains. So they just removed that other part of the stomach i am guessing?
