I am so tired of trying to eat....everything gives me chest pain...i can't deal....I don't get it...I chew until i can't chew anymore and i eat so slow....what am i doing wrong!!!! Ughhhh

Honestly...I've tried Eggs, Hummus, Refried beans...after the first bite i start feeling that tightness...I am following what my nut told me to do...I wouldn't dare try anything solid...i think i would die!

I am 3 weeks post op and am having the same issue...I actually posted about it earlier today...I chew slow and eat slow but everything i eat gets stuck and i get sharp pains in my chest that take my breathe away...I feel your pain literally...feel better soon

Hi everyone...Is anyone else experiencing weird chest pain while eating? It doesn't matter what i eat I get these sharp pains in my chest and really makes me not want to continue eating...this also goes for Protein shakes as well...Anyone? Kathy

That's not my problem...it hurts even with the first bite...I chew slow and eat slow...So i don't know...I'm going to discuss it with my surgeon when i go back for my follow up in 2 weeks...

Hi everyone...i was sleeved on May 21st 419 pre-op 398 now...Loving my sleeve.....Congrats on everyones success so far...xoxoxo

So today was my first day back at the gym and I'm feeling fantastic...I didn't get a walk in today because it's raw and nasty out ughh did i mention that it will be like this until Thurs! But at least i have the gym....Yay...And saw my nut today and she said i can do mushy stuff...(Like i hadn't tried it already) lol I find it odd that i am turned off by food that i use to love!

Thanks Lori...It was definatley scary...but im happy it's over and i just want to move on to bigger and better things....

Good Morning Everyone, I don't know if it's because i was in the hospital 6 days or what and had bandages on longer than usual, but any suggestions on how to get all this adhesive off of my belly...it's driving me crazy!!!!!!! I scrub everyday in the shower but don't want to irritate my surgical sites...???????

The reason i was in the hospital for 6 days was because i had a bleed on my staple line and I was on call to go back to the OR, I was transfused 7 times with no success, but through a Miracle i call it! The surgical team came up with a brilliant idea to take me off of the blood thinners and pump me up with IV fluids and no drinking for me just mouth swabs! So they drew my blood every 4 hours to see if my hemogloben went back up and sure enough it became stable and I was able to come home...The blood was absorbed in my body and didn't have to go back to the OR thank god!

Thanks Everyone....Much appreciated!

Hello everyone, I am just wondering if someone could kind of go through a typical day as how you get your Protein and such in while your awake...I find that i forget to eat and by the time i realize that i didn't get my full amount of protein in it's too late! Yikes...Help )

Thank you so much ladies....xoxoxo

Hello Everyone, My name is Kathy and i had the Vertical Sleeve Gasrectomy on May 21st, I am wondering what types of protein is best to use because the one i bought doesn't really taste great and I would much rather not have to mix anything...Is there something pre-mixed that any of you can recommend? Other than that i feel pretty good i have been walking around with no problem...I walk up and down my street a few times a day....I look forward to chatting with all of you and good luck on your journey to a healthy life...

Thank you so much for all your input....xoxoxo
