Yep we are... Congrats to us all I decided not to be scared of calories or carbs, even w/ the protein bar & taco bake I had yesterday I still didn't eat enough to get to 800 calories... You should try the protein shake & think even w/ the carbs w/ everything you might or might not eat you probably still wouldn't go over whatever your carb goal is... thanks glad I'm doin a lil better to... Go back to work 2 weeks from tomorrow so I think I'll be good... Congrats on your success thus far Sent from my iPhone using VST

Can't believe on Wed we'll be 1month out - wow - what a month I had... Struggled but doin better then I was... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Girl @ this point I'm on whatever foods i can stand, my nurse just said eat as tolerated - obviously can't eat a big ole steak but yes I had a protein bar, I been eat'n - certain things go down better then others but I've had no sickness from anything I have ate... If you prefer to ask your nurse you can but I just went for it today, cause I'm sick of the shakes & I'm not really get'n my protein in - I had bought some protein mix & got it home & hated it...- I'm try'n to eat my protein not drink it - Sent from my iPhone using VST

& I think you will work your way up to 800 - don't be scared of carbs either, my nurse said anything from 30-45 or even 50 is ok - of course my fitness pal I have mine set @ 1000 b/c that's my eventual goal but it shows I can have way more carbs then even 50 but I try to keep it 40 or less but a few days I went over by a few... I'm not back @ work yet but will be soon so I need to be thinking of snacks & etc i can take... I've been snack'n on the protein bar all day off & on Sent from my iPhone using VST

Have you tried any protein bars?? I bought one today that had 30g protein & it was double chocolate - didn't affect my stomach & for some reason w/ it no stuck feeling.... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I also seem to burp a lot so ik how that feels... Mine aren't as loud as they use to be before be'n sleeved... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Having the stuck feeling is nothing that we should just have to get use to, that is totally uncomfortable & for some of us it doesn't matter how small the portion we put in put mouth we still get the stuck feeling so that is a major problem for me... Some of us could possibly have a stricture & I'm definitely talking to my Dr/nurse about this... Healing time is different for everyone, there are plenty of people who don't even know what this feels like - they eat normally as they did before just in smaller portions of course... I don't want to live the rest of my life w/ that feeling every time I eat... I pray everyone that is goin thru it that it subsides soon, I feel your pain... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Anyone still having the stuck feeling?? I still am, I was hoping it would go away by now but nope, it's make'n it almost impossible for me to eat.. Idk what to do... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Hello all, sleeved 9/12 & I had few complications but these are the things I'm currently dealing w/: 1.Stuck feeling goin down w/ any food(want this gone soon - I did have a hiatal hernia repair) 2. Left side pain(getting better & better each week, I constantly have a heating pad on which has really helped me) 3. I have been spotting since a few days after surgery & I'm sick of that as well - been on bc since my daughter was born & she is now 17 so been a long time, I take Seasonique, well Camrese now which is same just generic & so I only get 4 periods a year & so mine Sony even due to come until maybe November but I haven't stopped spotting since the surgery - does anyone know when this will subside?? I was re-hospitalized a week after surgery due to de-hydration & my left side pain... I am feeling a lil better each day but still not myself.. I have had plenty of regret days in the last few weeks but mainly the stuck feeling & the period/spotting is making we wanna go insane - someone help-anyone experiencing either of these or went thru it but it subsided?? Thanks in advance... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Congrats on the weight loss, I also hd a hernia repair?? Do you have any stuck feelings when you eat or drink?? Sent from my iPhone using VST

Being in the hospital it's all that fluid from the IV - I guarantee when you come out that will come right back off - when I went back in for dehydration - I gained 3lbs back I think but after a few days it came off plus a few more lbs - I have decided to weigh myself every Wed... Stay strong girl & were all pray'n & root'n for you, keep us posted... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I had that same oatmeal this evening & couldn't eat too much of it... It was good though... Guess you just have to plan your carbs out for the day... Wow she said 1200 a day & eating every hour I Sent from my iPhone using VST

You & I are in the same boat except I have regretted it many days since I got sleeved, the stuck feeling I still have that to so ik how you feel - I'm feeling tired a lot & wanna just sleep - am drinking as much water as I can - some days get my protein but a few days I haven't & I feel bad - no protein shakes taste good to me & I wanna eat which is easier to get the protein but again if I could eat normal meaning no stuck feeling then I would feel a lot better... My side still hurts but definitely not like weeks prior, heating pad is helping & been continuing to walk... Hopefully one day soon we can be whatever normal is - lol... Hang in there girl - I'm right there w/ you, slow healing process... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I think it's the consistency of the food, oatmeal is filling even before the sleeve so now it fills you up even quicker... I'm the same way, I don't think I've really been full only one time & that's b/c I wasn't thinking & drank water after eating some tomato soup but other then that I really haven't felt the full feeling - strange but I just stop ahead of time... Sent from my iPhone using VST

I'm feeling the same way, I don't want to regret it either but every other day @ some point I hear my mind saying why did you do this to yourself but somehow each day I get thru it... Yes just rest, I find some days I have energy & others like today I don't have any - just tired... Hang in there... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Don't be scared or worried - I think maybe we just underestimate our pouches - I had 5 medium size steamed shrimp & still didn't feel full but I stopped anyway... All that you ate sounds good & of course I bet that smidget of ice cream/cake was so good even though it was just a lil taste... Ig were still trying to figure out the full feeling & I think depending on the food & what it consist of maybe depends on how fast we get full... I think your doin great - now if I could just get like you I'd be good - :-). Thanks for the continued prayers - I need them... Sent from my iPhone using VST

Thanks so much - I need all prayers I can get, just wanna feel totally normal again - prayers make me feel better inside so thanks... Yes I pray in not too long I can look back & be like been there done that & now it's all good & Toya continues to be in my prayers... I feel so bad for her that it makes me not want to complain @ all... Sent from my iPhone using VST
