Thank u so much,now that I know Im okay,I can barely feel the pain:) Thanks alot for support and best wishes to all of you!

Hey there my friends! I would use some of your help.Its 3.5 weeks since my operation and 3th day since I experience a strange stomach and abdomen pain everytime i eat or drink something.Its not a terrible pain but not pleasant and constant. I got scared and called my surgeon and he said everything was ok and I only have to eat slower.Is strange couse I didnt have this pain before and now when Im supposed to feel better it came up. Could you tell me if some of you had this too and if its not a reason to be worried. Thank u very much!

Hey there! I thank you for your care and time to post here so as to help me.I called my surgeon today and he said that he took about 60%.He first said ''a little bit more than 50%'' and I asked him to be more specific.He explained than that was a wise decision as I am not a typical case and if he would have taken more,I would have lost too much. My problem is that I compared my food need and intake to yours and other research I made and I seem to eat much more,but thats normal as my stomach is bigger. I feel some restriction and I definitely dont eat as before surgery but thats not what I expected.I also wanted to ask you what is normal to eat,Im only 3weeks post op.I have to say that everything goes down well in my case.I dont eat sweets,I only could not resist once but Im trying to stay away now from them.And also would eating fresh vegetables,fruits cause any problems or complications to my operation? I have to say Im very thankful,You are a group of great people and simply the fact that you take time to read and care for somebody's situation its a great thing to me! Best wishes !

Thank you Tiffykins Im thankful for your advices,it does help.I wrote here because I saw people,most of them were full of compassion and understanding and I needed it in this period of my life. I will refer now to those that said above that I might have a problem and even mentioned anorexia.My dear new friends(I hope you dont mind if I call you this way),if somebody's problem is not as big as yours,this doesnt mean its not a problem,In a few years,with my genes,I would have been where some of you are.I decided to prevent that.Its easy to judge and say it would have been easier to just stick on a healthy life diet but probably all of you understand how hard it is,because thats the reason we all decided to pass through this surgery. I wish you all the best to all of you,great progress and lots of health!

hey,Im sorry if I was wrong in explaining.Im 182cm and before operation i was 82kg,now i have like 75.I know Im not a typical candidate but that was my choice.I always had problems with the quantity of the products I was eating,and If I would have continued I would have ended like my mom.Im sad now because I might not lose as I expected but I still hope to reach my goal! Thanks you and lots of good luck!

Thanks for your post,its extremely sad what I see because I did that so as not to be able to eat that much and I cant see a big difference.Thats frustrating..I for sure try to restrict myself and eat right food but that mission its almost as hard as before the surgery.I can have at once like 5pieces of philadelphia roll and feel hungry again in an hour or two,Is still less that I was used to but not enough to have significant weight loss.I can stick on diet but is hard to do that all the time. Anyway,I wish you all the very best and hope your progress is way better than mine!

Dear MIia,Im so thankful for your time and answer,I am very worried actually and I find all you say true.I would be happy to get some more answers.Here is some data about myself.Im 21 years old,6.0 tall and before surgery i was 180lbs.I know I was not the right candidate for gastric sleeve but I wanted it bad so my surgeon worked with me.The only thing he said was the he removed less in my case,he estimated it at ''a little more'' than 50%.I was kind of ok with that as my goal was to lose about 40pounds. Now the problem is that starting with second week eating was not a problem to me,and now when im exactly 3weeks post op i can eat anything,i had sushi yesterday,sweets and the amount of food I can get in its not small at all. Im wondering what should I do,I can restrict myself ofcourse but that was what I was doing before surgery and then where is the sense. Thank you so very much for everybody's help!!!
