having hard time eating/ 5 weeks post op
fabtoys replied to teb's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I'm 3 weeks out and with Kaiser you don't have the purée stage. So I've started with thin sliced deli meat. Dinner was 4 shrimp and 4 broussel sprouts. Then I get the full feeling. I drink about 45-60 ounces a day . I drink koolaid with Splenda . They prescribed protonix/pantoprazole for any acid reflux and then Zofram for nausea but haven't had any. Maybe those meds might help you. -
I had my surgery 10/21 and yes the first week sucks especially trying to schedule the pills ,iron,carafate,calcium and b12 . Drinking enough is import so you don't get constipated.Right now I've lost 28# since surgery and getting energy back. I've stopped my diabetes medicine and need to see Dr to possibly lower other meds . What I always say is " Without challenges there is no Success!"

I had my surgery 10/21 and took it easy for about 5 days . Internal pain was only 2 days for me with liquid pain killer . I'm an Auto Transport truck driver and I have to load up and climb around the trailer and lots of walking. I did a load one week after surgery and only had a little incision area pain. So it's a very physical demanding jobs and I feel great. Definitely it's different for everyone.
