I am 6 weeks out and have experiened this a few times. I can eat and enjoy my food but 20 minutes later I get a severe stomach ache and have to run to the bathroom no matter where i am. It has gotten better with me this week because I am watching what I eat knowing that what caused my dumping was heavy cream in dairy foods, and greasy foods. Once it was a simple omelette at diner but they made it greasy and another time was cream soup. Now I just introduce new foods slowly and have been kind of playing it safe with foods I know I can handle.

When did you see a change?
sherrypep replied to AutismMom's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I think it depends on how much you have to loose. I weighed in at 206 12/21/11 when I got my band so I had a low BMI. I lost 45 pounds and than had my revision o n May 6th and have lost 20 since. I think I felt the difference at about 30 pounds because I needed to buy new cloths! -

Who knew this sleeve could do so much
sherrypep replied to Miss Bean's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Congrats! Keep up the good work. -
I am 6 weeks post op and about 2-3 weeks I developed a sharp pain under my left breast when I breathed. My Dr. said it is a suture that they put in the top of the stomach and it is normal. Needless to say I felt like I was dying for about a week and than the pain traveled to my back behind my ribs. That lasted a few days and now I am fine.

Almost 6 weeks out and neusea getting so much worse...
sherrypep posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am almost six weeks out and not eating anything I shouldn't. I am cleared for normal food but find I am too nauseous to eat much. I am getting in my protein with Greek Yogurt and some chicken and stuff but it is getting tough. I am trying to get my liquids in but they make me feel yucky too. Probably getting about 40oz liquid. I tried acid reducer and nothing. I called to refill the nausea meds they gave me in the hospital but they are some sort of dissolving pill that I put on my tongue and they knock me out. Will this pass? I sure hope so. -
Cream soup gets me very ill with dumping. Be careful and introduce it slowly.
-
I have been eating fish with no problems at almost 6 weeks out. Just watch for bones.

I gained 8 pounds and was very unhappy about it. But I lost that plus 5 more after about 2 weeks. I think it is all water weight.

Fruits and Vegetables?
sherrypep replied to CoreyCan's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 5 weeks out and my Dr. says I can try fruit/veggies as tolerated. i have eaten broccoli, coliflower, string beans and carrots no problems. I have tried fruit in my Greek Yogurt with no issues and some pears and peaches from a can in water no syrup. Everything has been going weil in small doses. -
5 weeks post op and feeling bouts of nausea during the day...
sherrypep posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Had my revision on May 6th and have had an easy ride so far. All of a sudden the past week I am getting bouts of nausea throughout the day. Water makes me feel especially nauseous. Had anyone experienced this and if so what can I do to help. I was thinking it may be acid and I should try Prilosec or something like it. -
I am 5 weeks post op revision tomorrow and am suffering the same thing all of a sudden. DId you happen to find out what it was?

For those who had band to sleeve in one surgery..
sherrypep replied to Band07's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Had my revison in one surgery on May 6th. No unfill and was also a piece of cake. Think I was already used to eating little potions so I did not suffer any hunger issues. -
Lean ground beef like chili or ground beef doesn't seem to cause any issues with me. I am 5 weeks out tomorrow. Can't eat much of it but it works.
-
I make baked ziti for my family and I take some ground beef and put low fat rigatta cheese and some mozzerella on it with some sauce and its deilcious. I just dont eat the ziti part. I can also eat chicken and i smush some brcolli up and mash it together.

Antidepressants & Rapid Weight Loss
sherrypep replied to RichardVST's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have been taking Lexapro for years. Since my band and then revision I have went from 206 to 147. I have not reduced mine. I think they deal with the Seratonin levels. Check with your Dr. if your not sure but I have been fine on the same dose. -
Had my revision on May 6th. I think I was used to eating little portions with the band so I really haven't had much of problem with any food. My surgeons diet restrictions are a little conservative so I was on soft to regular as tolerated after 2.5 weeks. I can eat more than a lot of people at this stage like 1/2 cup to 1 cup of food. I can eat rice which some can't for a long time. I can eat a whole Greek Yogurt no problem. A friend of mine was eating a quarter cup for months. I guess everyone is different. I still won't attempt bread or pasta for awhile because of the fear I still have from the band. I couldn't eat those things than and since they are fattening I am trying to stay clear of them for awhile.

I am almost 5 weeks post op and tried a little bit of soft vanilla ice cream. It didn't make me sick but a little bloated and uncomfortable. Some people have problems with heavy dairy in the beginning. Its touch and go.

Had my one month post op revision check-up today...
sherrypep posted a topic in Revision Weight Loss Surgery Forums (NEW!)
I had my band for 16 1/2 months and lost about 45 pounds. Had my revsion on May 6th and at my apt. today went from 164.5 to 148.5. Don't think I have been in the 140's since I got pregnant with my now 15 year old. I feel amazing and had no complications, a very easy recovery, and I am eating with very little problems. I am so happy I decided to revise. -
