I had my surgery 1/19/16. Down 39lbs since starting preop diet 1/5/16. I having trouble with my stomach and eating. I'm still on puréed food my doc wants me to go back to fluids. I'll eat my meal then an hour or so later my stomach feels empty and feels like it's churning. At times it makes me feel a little queasy. I'm not sure why this is happening. Sometimes I can't take my vitamins or drink my protein.

Hi. Had my surgery 1/19. I am on Prilosec daily. Even though I have my meal about an hour or so later my stomach feels so empty and feels like it's churning. At times it makes me feel alittle queasy. Did anyone else experience anything like this?

Things I didn't expect my first month post-op
redlinda replied to SleeveMe247's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
Constipation!!!! I am 3.2 weeks out. I have never been constipated in my life. This is incredibly annoying. I'm sure it's bc I'm not taking in enough water... Get a stool softener like Colace. -
Pain/Discomfort/Recovery: C-Section vs. Gastric Sleeve?
redlinda replied to AmyQwith2's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I have very little pain or discomfort with my c-sections . I have the sleeve yesterday the 19th, and the gas pain was horrible. The 5 small cuts are not causing me much discomfort but the gas on day 1 and most of day 2 was killer. Now that the gas has passed I'm having some stomach spasms but they are tolerable -

The second day wasn't too bad. I had some broth with a tiny bit of seasoning in it and it was good!!! -
If your willing to travel to central NJ, Dr Binenbaum, Dr Boreo are highly recommended

Scheduled my Surgery!
redlinda replied to Salinagetssleeved's topic in Tell Your Weight Loss Surgery Story
My advice, Don't tell too many people. -
I think you have to listen to your own head. You know what's good for you. Who cares what they think! Love yourself!

Hi, I am Linda. I'm 53. I live in NJ. I am a nurse. I've worked in labor and delivery for almost 30 years. I have 2 sons 28 and 23. I am married to a wonderful guy for alittle over 5 years now. I have to admit I don't have many hobbies. I never have any energy and my legs hurt. I've been overweight most of my adult life. I'm so tired of the weight struggle. I'm looking forward to a new life. Surgery scheduled for 1/19/16.
