I just threw up for the second night in a row for eating too fast. I was sleeved on 3/13 - 5 weeks out as of today. Im glad to know I'm not alone. And although I hate to throw up its different than I've ever experienced - it's just the rejected food and I feel brand new as soon as I'm done. I need to take things slower!! -
I keep reading posts of people eating salads and I wonder - When did you have your first salad? I am craving fresh food!! I am a month out and have been tolerating everything else really well. Thanks

Where Are My 5 Weekers?
Stacey Nicole replied to spadesmcloven's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 5 weeks out on Tuesday. I'm doing ok - I struggle to get in all the liquids and protein but I've decided to give myself a break. I can only do what I can do right? I stalled for a week and then the scale moved - I've lost 4 lbs in the last two weeks. I guess I can't complain. I am on regular food now, but I stick to thinks that are still quite soft and so far I'm ok. I've also had some acid issues - I get a burning sensation in the back of my throat and it's horrible! I've started light exercise and boy am I sore! I am really tight in my stomach area and its almost like I can feel my sleeve. Anyone else have this? I've also been super emotional - some days I am a mess!! Glad I found this post.....I'd like to hear how I measure up to everyone at their 5 week mark! :) -
Walked to the in-laws today and even played some catch with the kids. Am I the only one who feels like they can feel their sleeve and get sore? I am almost 5 weeks out - OUCH!

It's Time For Your Flame Free Friday Confession!
Stacey Nicole replied to Lilee84's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hate eating . I never imagined myself saying or thinking that. However, a few days ago I tried a Jax.....as in a puffy Cheeto.......WHOA. It's the little things that make me happy. I think I have had 4 to 6 pc's in all, but it was the best treat I've had in a long time! -
Hi Lizbeth! I am one month out today - It feels like it's been 6 months! haha You say you're having salad already? My NUT said to wait - but I REALLY want one! What do you put in your salads? and also sandwiches? I would be so happy with the both of those. I am craving tomatoes for some reason and just miss eating cold, crisp, and fresh food! I am struggling and I am not eating enough - I am afraid to hurt myself and to try different things. Thanks

Stacey Nicole replied to Stacey Nicole's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm probably not going to get it for a few more weeks in fear that I may hurt myself.....but I need to know that there is a treat of chinese in my future lol -
What's Your Favorite Work Out?
Stacey Nicole posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Last spring I started walking and slowly progressed into some jogging. I completed 3 5k's and was loving it! No matter how much I exercised, I could never conquer my issue with food. In 6 months - and every night walking/jogging at the track- I was down 15lbs. I was totally discouraged. I stopped and started pursuing WLS. I couldn't lose any weight because I wouldn't qualify for surgery through my insurance. I put on more weight than I had anticipated - I was struggling so badly before surgery. I am 25 days post op and have been stalled for about a week. I am ok with it - I know it is normal. I am now back to the weight I was when I ran my last 5k in September - just not nearly as in shape! Tonight I am going to join the gym - I need to get back into shape and get ready for some road races this summer. I also need to learn the weights - the gym totally scares me though lol So tell me - What is your favorite work out? What works best? I'd love any extra input I can get. -
Recovering Drug Addict
Stacey Nicole replied to Marnie85253's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I woke up from surgery vomitting from the morphine. I told them to immediately stop giving it to me as I am sure it was doing more damage than good. I was then put on IV Tylenol and sent home 2 days later with a script for Liquid Tylenol. There is no reason to worry as long as you voice your concern with your surgeon. -
How Often Do You Get Hungry?
Stacey Nicole replied to NoExcuses's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I will be 4 weeks out tomorrow and I still have no sensation of hunger. I do eat and the only sensation I know is full - I get full so quickly. I also sometimes hiccup and get a runny nose...is that strange (when im full)? -
If I drink too quickly or drink and then lay down I had the loudest gurgling I have ever heard! It is really crazy. It also happens sometimes when I am at work....and my if I am with a client its a little embarassing!

Stalled Already ?!?!
Stacey Nicole replied to daniellec's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I am 4 weeks post-op as of tomorrow and have been stalled for the last week. I am going crazy!!! Come on!!! I know its all par for the course, but I still have no patience! Any ideas on how to get things moving again? -
I joined the gym and will start going tomorrow. Even if I start going for a half hour it's a start and I need a start. I sometimes can't figure out if I'm fatigued or depressed.

Pickles/relish - When Can I Have?
Stacey Nicole posted a topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Hello! I am on soft foods this week and regular foods next week. I understand that tuna is high in protein and I plan on getting some, but ever since I was a kid I have eaten tuna with a little bit of sweet relish mixed in - Is this ok??? I keep seeing things that say no pickles or relish? I love both!!!! When can I have them? -
Sleeved On Monday. Protein Making Me Ill
Stacey Nicole replied to Lauranbob Mc's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had a few protein powders I liked before surgery. After surgery I hated them and all the others I tried. I went through so much money finding something that worked. Luckily, I have a store called Nutmeg State Nutrition near my home and I went there for help. They are online - as a matter of fact they have a banner on this site. They sell a gel drink called proti - it does have 1 sugar. The gel goes into 8 ounces of water and tastes like juice. There are several flavors to chose from and theyre all yummy! My cabinet is now stocked with them - They saved me! Good luck! -
Be careful with any food - You may feel great, but your new stomach is still brand new and needs time to heal! Good luck and congrats on your journey

Craving Pizza, Surgery Tuesday. Help!
Stacey Nicole replied to Misstxdiva's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Stick to your guns and stay on your surgeons diet. He gave it to you for a reason! I did 24 days of clear liquids and there were so many points that I wanted to eat something, but I knew that I shouldnt.....so I didnt. This journey isnt only about food - It's also about knowing we can do something without giving up half way through. Dont give up before youve really begun. You can do it!
