I just got home after getting sleeved on Tuesday (3/12). I was given discharge info that addressed what I can eat, and how to care for my incisions, etc. What I'm primarily concerned about is somehow ripping my pouch open. I talked to my nurse and she said just not to use my core, hold a pillow when I cough, things like that. Does anyone know if it's possible to rip open your pouch doing day-to-day activities? I'm afraid to sleep in bed because I worry if I roll around too much something might happen. I'm also afraid to bend over, sit down and stand up... Can anyone offer any advice?

I Was Sleeved 3/12/13 (Also- I Am Typing This On My Phone And It Capitalizes The First Letter Of Every Word And I Don't Know How To Make It Stop. Full Disclosure In Case It Annoys Anyone As Much As Me. ) Here's How My New Stomach Reacts To New Food: Grilled Chicken: Acceptable Smoked Chicken: Oh, Hell No! Garlic powder On/In Most Things: Ok Garlic Powder On Eggs: Welcome To Barftown One Sinful Bite Of A 9 Year Olds Birthday Cake: Yum One Tiny Teeeeeny Bite Of coffee Cake: Knocked Me On My Butt For An Entire Day Is It Normal To Be able To Tolerate A Certain food, But Not Something Similar? I Am Trying TO Still Take It Slow As Far As Introducing New Foods, But I'm Kind Of Afraid To Try things Because It's So Unpredictable.

Pouch. Sleeve. Heck, I could have called it Marvin. (And I might!) I appreciate everyone's help. And btw I feel great!

I got sleeved 5 days ago. I came home from the hospital Thursday, today is Saturday. I just added up what I have been eating realized I am consuming about 100 calories and 12g Protein. I am trying, but I.just can't fit much in my sleeve without feeling sick. Is this normal this soon post-op? Or should I be concerned? I am still on full liquids and move to puree in about 5 days. Thanks.

No offense taken.

Thanks for easing my mind a little bit. I apologize that I was totally wrong referring to my "pouch" which was incorrect. Sorry for the confusion.

My new little stomach pouch.
