Shemekasr

Hello all, I am 4 years post op and I totally feel your pain. Post sleeve i was 256 lbs. My lowest weight was 146lbs. I am currently 205 lbs. I have made the decision to get back on track with it all. I will start with the basics of protein shakes for 3 days, then slowly introduce other allowable foods. I do know that my sleeve is still intact because i cant eat alot at one time, but once that food digests, I am ready for more, but only out of habit, not hunger. For me it is mental because when I am bored I eat. Since having my last child I have began to fall back into old habits, but I know I can make the changes because my sleeve still works and I am ready to do this once again!!

Way to go... so proud of you!!!

@Dashofpixiedust8 my apologies Weigh in- 179

noirlecroi way to go!!! Your progress is amazing!! This journey can be lonesome at times, but I also love the support that these forums provide.

I am 18 days post op and I felt the exact same way. It is hard to imagine that it will get better but trust me it will. Now, I get frustrated because I can't each as slow nor as much as I want so I am working on that but it is all in phases and each one gets better. Hang in there!!

@@OutsideMatchInside thank you and I agree. I think I will try cottage cheese and hopefully that will be better. I will wait till week 3 to before I try tuna again. What do you think about refried Beans? Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, this thread has been very helpful to me. I am 2 weeks post op and I am struggling just like everyone else. I just started on soft foods today. I have tried Tuna with a little mayo and hummus. The hummus went down easy but the tuna created a tightness in my chest. There are times that I regret my decision to get sleeved but it's too late now so i just hope it gets better like everyone says. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@ yes u r lucky, haha!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I don't have staples either. I'm still a little gassy also but no pain from it. I just wish my thoughts of food would go away. I can't wait till the soft food stage!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey everyone!! @@Pup I hope you feel better soon. @@sarahb309 yes I am having those pains also. They come and go. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey @@Roni2366 I will be one week post op tomorrow and I have experienced hunger also. Hang in there! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Head hunger has been a struggle for me also. This is much harder than I thought it would be, but its no turning back now, so I just have to deal with it although it is driving me insane thinking of all the foods that I would love to have right now. I even thought to myself, if i had lost weight without WLS then I could at least have a salad, but my way has never worked for me so I gotta give this a fair shot. I went to the store today and purchased some creamy tomato Soup made by campbells and It was really good and satisfying. I only ate about 4 tablespoons and that did the trick for me so I am over the hump for today. Hang in there yall, we got this! One day at a time is the motto

@@sarahb309 I have been feeling the exact same way so this morning I made sure to get my protein in by adding the nectar to my crystal light and that really did help with the loss of energy, but I still struggled with the thoughts of food. My NUT only allows clear liquids the first two weeks so I am struggling a bit. I actually broke down and licked a couple BBQ chips today which i am not proud of, but I did it and just being honest. It actually helped with my craving because I was tired of the bland taste in my mouth. Although i did lick the chip that is as far as I will go because I dont want to sabatoge my new way of life. Hang in there dear, we will make it!!!

Yes I certainly do and it is so weird!! When I drink I feel it going through my sleeve which is also weird. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

@@jessjames I am just trying to maintain positive thoughts because this is hard but we will make it!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hey @@Pup yes I have pain meds but they just make me sleep all day and I am sick of taking them but I learned that I need to. Tomorrow I will re focus and get back on track with trying to get my liquids in and keep moving around more. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

Hello everyone, omg this has been so hard! I was discharged this morning from the hospital but I am sooooo sore and I feel miserable . I miss my kids but i can't take care of them right now so my mom is helping by keeping them while my husband helps me recover. Although i am not hungry I think about food. But the worst part is the soreness, constant rumble in my stomach and the difficulty getting all of my fluids in. I hope everything will get better soon.

@@Pup and everyone else who is getting sleeved today! Good luck to you this morning!!
