York county sleever. Done may 3 rd...curntly in another stall...but hoping for the best

Right there with ya, and it is frustrating, when i think how litttle i eat, but i am just hoping the plan works in the end cause it sure is against everything i learned in nurticion class, to take in so few calories. Seems like my metabolism should be crashed by now

I was just told to start eating 3 meals a day and to stop my protien drinks. Sounds great, but...i am having ahard time keeping anything down all of a sudden. Anything protien, like chicken, cheese sticks, lunch meat, i feeel like they are stuck, and i throw them up. Pudding, soup, that stuff is fine, but drinking, well water is a no go too, it makes me nauseous, and i dont drink chemicly infused crap like diet drinks, so drinking is now a serious issue also without my drinks of protien. Tings were going great until now, panic is setting in. What do do, is it normal. Would welcome any help or advice

I had my one month check up today. I lost 21 pounds since surgery, and 29 total since one week pre op diet. I thought that was good, but dr says it is slow. He wants me to cut out all protien shakes, and eat 3 meals a day now for no more than 600 cal. I am not sure how the hell i can get by like this and get enough protien without shakes, and drinking is something i am failing at compleatly. Everything i drink causes nausea and pain. It was an all day even getting the protien shakes in. I see so many different people all With the same surgery, but the docs orders are as different as they can be. I am at a loss as to what to do at this point, even my nut and dr disagree. These are the things that cause me Depression, not having a clear plan. I am very tired, but he said that is normal. Ws worried about starvation mode, he says that is the goal, he said only exersize i can do is walk for 3 months, and i just feel shakey, and wish i could drink. I dont drink artificially sweetened products, so that makes this even more a challenge. Would love any insight or advice.

I feel you it has been 3 weeks since my sleeve scale is not moving very depressing and it worries me too

I refused all pain meds except iv tylenol. Just plain tylenol. Besides the sorness of sitting up, i did not need any, pain was not a big issue for me thank God, as pain meds make me very nauseous.

attenolol is also used for anxiety. Anxiety is normal and generally increases in the days prior to surgery. This will help with that, as well as a back up plan to keep b/p in check as it also can rise with anxiety/stress, and surgery adds stress to your body.

I am right there with ya. I lost alot prior to surgery, and now it seems to have stopped. I feel the frustration. It gets hardest when people ask me all the time, "how much have you lost" I cringe when I have to say nothing after all of this. I know it will be ok down the road, just would be nice to see great gains while adjusting to all the other losses... food, drinks, hormones, hair lol

i dont understand some of these answers. I was also sleeved on may3, and I was told not to even take any vitamins except b12 sub lingual. I struggle to get those god awful protien shakes in. I absolutly cannot drink any diet crap, it just reeks of chemicals, water makes me nautious, and we are not allowed to eat, so I am very low energy and to make it worse, i lost 22 pounds prior to surgery and ow after 2 more am at a stall. Not regretting, just frustrated. would love some insight as well

Just wanted to add this, and it may sound harsh, but the truth is divorce is always a possibility, but a funeral is even more likely when we are so overweight. Doing this for your future is the best possible way to show her you ware doing all you can to be there for her alot longer.

at what stage of food is this ok sounds yummy..... want some:)

Ok, I am in no way freaking out, YET, but I am a bit frustrated. I was sleeved may 3rd. I feel wonderful. I am active, still struggling to et water in due to pain and nausea from the water, but prior to surgery on the 2 week pre diet, I lost 20 pounds. I get sleeved, yak for 3 days, come home on liquids, and to date have only lost 1 whole pound. Am I doing something wrong, or missing something? I just though the stall didnt start till 2 weeks, but this is a bit disappointing I guess If I am honest

I felt the same fear. I am a nurse, so I thought of disasters, I was not even told about LOL I was terrified of the drain, I cant take pain meds, so was terrified of how I would deal, I was so worried about nausea from anestesia, wow I had quite a list of fears. Truth is, I did not use any pain meds after except the liquid tylenol, iv drip. Besides when I had to sit up, I honestly was comfortable, and the next week on thursday, I was at yard sales. The drain was weird, but so quick I did not have time to even worry, I wish the nausea was just as easy, but for me, I always react to anestesia, and I knew ahead of time, zopran and phetergine, would not work, so it was a challenge for me for 3 days, and then ended as quick as it came. During that time, it was rough, but looking back now, I was very lucky. You will be fine, just listen to what your body needs. In a week, you will wonder why you let yourself get so worried prayers to you all, and speedy recovery

this is good to hear, as I also am not getting near enough water. I feel for the gal who does not do the artificial sweetners. Same here. I just hate them, and hate the chemicals and what they do to my body. Desperately looking for something that tastes good, to get in fluids without the chemicals and chem taste

i am one week out and having a very hard time getting all the water in. I would guess 20 oz is the most I have gagged down so far.

yes Small nerve fibers can be cut or pinched.

yes..just had mine done may 3rd,,,

besides not feeling as if you lost fast enough, how did surgery go

how was the expirience for you overall.. can you rate the pain..i go tomorrow my nerves are really getting the best of me right now

Best of luck. My surgery is one day behind you. Cant wait to hear how you are

i was alowed two cups a day veggies/fruit,so every day i had a salad to look forward to. no salt, no dressing but it was better than any i ever ate at that point

I have all those fears and some you have not mentioned. My surgery is may 3, and I am on the pre-op diet. I feel like crap, the protien shakes are bankrupting me as I try to find any that I can keep down and not gag. I have never been one to like anything "diet" hate artificial chemicals and all the protien tastes like them or is loaded with them. I am scared of the pain, I am scared of the drain..I am scared of hair loss, scared of a leak. I have never had a pain pill I could take due to nausea, and everything seems to bother my stomach. I have gerd, so I am worried about that getting worse and the protien shakes already are doing that. I am afraid of nausea, as I spent nearly a year vomiting before they realized I had a gallstone filling the entire organ. Then I worry if I will regret this, if looking at all that skin will look worse to me or make me look old, and I worry if I quit, and dont do it I will regret that every day as my health will take a hit. I feel like a loser for not losing it on my own, and am afraid of being ill post op and cant be involved with my activities, I did not even see myself as fat till I saw some pics and was horrified. I guess we get good at deciving ourself.

I have been on thyroid meds for years now, and it never helped me to lose weight. It never seemed to remain stable either
