Great topic! I am in the hospital right now with a bypass revision from the sleeve. The recovery, thus far, is a Little rough! Thanks for posting questions.!

Hello, just throwing this out there. I have been sleeved for almost 1 year. Never do I regret my decision and I feel amazing having lost 90 pounds! At about 4.5 months, I started vomiting and had multiple gall stones so the decision was made to have my gall bladder removed. Procedure went well and recovery was no problem. But, the vomiting still continued. Recently had some more blood work and an EGD scope to look for any kinks or strictures...everything is clear. I can eat soft foods and get in a Protein shake every day to get in my nutrients. Blood work is looking normal and no major red flags. It just every time I eat really course food (chicken, pork, any breads or pastas,rice, and make sure meats are moist) I vomit. I am vigilant about taking small bits, and chew chew chew, and eat slowly. I vomit at least one time a day. Just looking to see if anyone has had any similar experiences. Meeting with Dr. this week to go over the EGD tests. Just curious...maybe I just have a stubborn sleeve!

Thank you for the insight and I will start stretching out my bites!

I take about two minutes between bites I have an app that like rings a little bell when I'm to take a bite. My surgeon instructed us to take at least 20 minutes to eat but no more than 30 minutes.

I agree with above comments! I took off 2 weeks and wished I would have taken 3! You are very tired and adjusting and I wish I had taken that extra week off!

I had 2 C-sections and I think the C-sections were worse. It was harder to get up and get moving around after the C-sections. Just my opinion, sleeve was an easier recovery! Good luck!

Sleeved on 9/29/14 - lost 90 pounds thus far! Some ups and own, but no regrets! Feel great and actually enjoy shopping for clothes now! Great job fellow sleevers!!

HAHAHAHA!!!! I always say the same thing!!! Steak or chicken or any pork is unheard of! I have to laugh about it sometimes or I get too frustrated. I try to stay positive! I am consulting with the doctor and doing the best I can! But that comment made me laugh out oud...literally!!

Thnk you for the post and I am in the same boat! A year out and I have a hard time eating most foods. If I stick to soft foods I am good, but that is not what my doctor is stiving for. My doctor is doing an EGD scope with possible dialtion to see if there are any strictures. Please keep me posted. And, thank you again, for posting!

Sometimes elevated liver enzymes may be a signal of gall bladder issues....that was my expeince and ended up having my gall bladder out. I still have slight elevated enzymes, but that just be my "normal" level...more blood work to follow! Good luck!!

Sleeved 9/29 and down 85!! Great job everyone!!

I love sushi!! I am about 5 months out and tried a few times and my stomach can't handle rice! I am determined and keep trying and get the same results...a sick belly! But everyone tolerates things differently! Good luck!!

Thank you for the topic!

Great comment! I feel the same way! No desire to eat or drink. Eating is not an ejoyable experience at all! Thank you for posting this!

Thank you for asking this! I am about 11 weeks out and with all these holiday cookies every where I go i am so nervous! I have had a nibble here and there and it is really making me nervous! Down 44 pounds and don't want to go back!! Thank you again for asking!!!

Yes!!! I used to be able to "chug" water back in the day! No more now! If I drink too much too fast...all comes back up! I try to keep water with me all day and sip, but it is an adjustment!

Hello! I am about 10 weeks out. Down 43 pounds. Lately, I feel like I am having hard time eating course meats, so NUT cut be back to some mushy foods and put be on Prilosec. Stomach may just be having some aversions. Some days feel really good and get in all my proteins and water, some says not so great! Feel good overall! First time in years I actually lost weight over thanksgiving holiday!! Good luck! Please share!!

Hey sept. Sleevers...question...about 10 weeks post op and have no real desire to eat. Try to get in my protein and liquids, but sometimes the first few bites just make my Stomach tighten up and blah. Only started feeling like this in the past week. Anyone else feel the same way? Thank you for all the advice! Truly grateful!

OMG!!! I a so happy I read this post! I did the same thing!! Lol! It was just the sensation of eating something and all the yumminess! It is not a habitual behavior and it was just something in a moment of weakness! Thank you for your post!!

Good luck! I took off for 2 weeks and went back to a desk job..and actually wish I took another week off! Adjustments and being so tired were the things that got to me! Good luck!

I did not have a pre-op diet! Just was required to lose 10 pounds prior to scheduling sugery! I was so thankful!!

THANK YOU!!! I made this recipe tonight and loved it!! So easy and so yummy!!! Thank you again!!

I just went to my bariatric doctor today and asked that question! They suggested taking a dolcolax every morning....or any other stool softner us prefer! Good luck!

Anyone else have some serious dry/cotton mouth?!! Lol! Why? And how do u make it better!? I made the horrible mistake of chugging a little water!! Yikes! Lesson learned....sip sip sip! Any insight would be great! Thank you!!!

One month post-op. Anyone get tightness in chest while eating or drinking?! Thank you in advance! Keep losing....
