I was sleeved 9/11. So far so good. I'm in the soft food stage and can only seem to tolerate 4-5 bites of mashed potatoes. I am getting my energy back everyday, which is great since i'm a single mom of 4!

2 days Post Op: Water even makes me nauseous
Gemini0621 replied to sonnysun's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I had liquid pain meds and dissolvable nausea meds. I couldn't drink regular Water for the few week.. it just tasted nasty to me. Unsweet tea was wonderful. -
Is this normal...
Gemini0621 replied to Datamomof1's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm going into my 3rd week and i've hit a stall. It's a struggle getting my protein in and i'm still never hungry. I've heard it will pass. Our bodies are in shock and it takes time for it to catch up. Good luck to you! -

I stated to feel nauseated and throw up a lot once I put something in my stomach, even Water makes me throw up sonetimes. I did an endoscopy procedure and then they found a hernia. I had a hiatal hernia repaired with my sleeve surgery, but sometimes, i get an uncomfortable feeling in my chest. It's not as bad as heartburn, just pressure. I was told that the swelling from the repair takes a while to go down and that might be the cause.

Did I eat too much?
Gemini0621 replied to sleevedlife123's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on 9/11 and can just now tolerate about 4 bites of mashed potatoes. I've mainly stuck with soups because they go down easy. I feel like i'm not getting enough. I am going to try yogurt and soft fruit today to see if I can handle that. -

What were your symptoms that your hernia had returned?

Dreaded Stall
Gemini0621 replied to Jennifer Cunningham's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I've hit my stall and will try this. I am hardly ever hungry and have to force myself to eat, but I brought my yogurt and fruit to work today and will be snacking every 2 hours to see if I can get out of this rut! -
Thank you all for your input. I ordered a Vitamin package yesterday that my doctor recommended.
-
I've heard about those... might have to look into it.

I'm struggling with getting enough vitamins... does anyone have advice on which or the best to take after gastric sleeve surgery?

6 weeks post op...can't tolerate as much food
Gemini0621 replied to Pillar2butterfly's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I'm in the soft food stage and not able to eat much. I have 1 protein shake and it fills me up. I feel like i'm not getting enough nutrients, eventhough I'm never hungry. Any advice? -

Preop diet and severe headache
Gemini0621 replied to Anniel2015's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I had headaches the first 4 days of the pre-op diet. I think it's because i wasn't drinking enough Water and I wasn't getting the sugar that my body was used to. By day 5, no more headaches! -
West Houston and my surgery is scheduled for Sept. 11th.
