Kansas City Area Sleevers?
amgood replied to Believinginlisa's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I will be there -
I was having the same problem. The problem was i was not eating enough to fuel my body so it was holding onto everything and I was not losing. I had to up my protein and the amount I was eating and I started losing again. I'm 5 weeks out down 30lbs and 19+ inches.

Your body does kind of go into starvation mode. This can also happen when you start to add excersise. If you don't take in enough to fuel your body without exercise when you add that you body starts to store fat instead of burn it. At the stage you are in its hard to get in enough so the best thing to do is give it time. -

I was sleeved on June 28. So I'm out about 12 days. My first day was very very bad. I'm allergic to a lot of medications some of those are the ones they give you for vomiting. I vomited most all of the first day but slowly it got better. I was in the hospital for 2 days. I started walking in the hospital and have not stopped. I try to walk 1/2 to 1 mile every day. No matter what. I have not found a protein drink that i tolerate. I have tried a lot. I do my best to get protein in with other foods. For the most part i do well with fluids. It is most definitely a change. I'm very happy that i had the surgery. When it got close to my surgery date I got very nervous but I'm glad i went ahead. I can see my future. A much more healthy and active future. As of now i have lost about 26 lbs. I hope everyone is doing well. Here is to the new and healthier us.

Where the May sleevers i just got my date!
amgood replied to Luvlvnlyfe5's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You have to learn to listen to your body. Each person i have talked to that has the sleeve said that they have a tail. A sign that they are full. The key is to figure yours out. Mine is like a hiccup/burp. It took me a few days to figure it out. But i did. When that happens my sleeve is full. If i even try a litte bit more then im in pain. My sleeve and intestines make a lot of noise. It's my understanding that this is completely normal. I really don't think we will ever feel full like we used to. We have to re learn this also. Just try to listen to your body. One of my friends her nose runs when she is full. Another one hiccups. -

Im 3 days post op. It is getting better. My pain is better. I wish i could sleep for more than 2 hours at a time. Im having trouble drinking water. It hurts when it goes down. I did find that warm tea is much easier. Yesterday was able to eat some cream of wheat,soup,mushed up beans and pudding. I had a very ruff start post op i dry heaved and vomited for about 16 hours. I'm allergic to most meds that help. Glad to say that is pretty much gone. So far I'll glad i did this. Hope everyone else is doing well.
