As annoying as this is, I haven't done much besides just eat less. Basically since a month out of surgery I've eaten whatever I want, just in very small quantities. I also got a Fitbit which helps motivate me to work out! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

CALLING ALL JULY 2016 SLEEVERS
vleesleeved replied to Tresa Embil's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I was sleeved on July 18th. I'm feeling really good and have been able to eat a decent amount of food at each meal. I haven't weighed myself in a week or so, but since my pre-op diet I am down over 50 lbs which I am very happy about. Love my sleeve!

Thank you for the support. Yes I am on anti-nausea medication, but unfortunately it hasn't helped. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -
Hi - I've posted something like this before, but did not get many responses. I was sleeved exactly two weeks ago (7/18). I have not been able to even get a bite of food, sip of Protein shake, etc. in for DAYS. I'm talking like, maybe I've consumed 200 calories over a 6-8 day span. I went to my surgeon on Thursday and he seemed like he barely cared. He was just excited that I lost weight (surgery weight was 230 and my weight on Thursday was 215) and that my incision (I had a single incision through my belly button) looked good. He told me to just keep trying on the food. I feel like this is not normal. I throw up bile almost every day and I can't stand the sight of food, let alone smell it. I should add though that I have always been a very queasy person and I do throw up easily from being "grossed out", but I just need to find out if anyone else is dealing with this, or has dealt with it. I have zero energy and I try my best to walk but it is hard when my body is running on fumes. The only thing I have been able to do is drink Water all day. Please help!!

Hi everyone! I was sleeved 7/18/16, so I'm just over a week post-op. My surgeon has us go right into puréed foods, but I honestly cannot eat. The only thing my stomach will allow me is Water, which I drink plenty of. Protein shakes, yogurt, etc. I can only have maybe 1 oz of. I am worried this will effect my health. I am going to my doctor tomorrow so of course I will ask him about this too, but I figured I would see if anyone else has had this issue.

Update: It's been 5 days since my surgery and I am actually feeling really good! The head hunger I struggle with at times, but I am definitely battling through it. My weight on the day of surgery was 229.8 and this morning I decided to weigh myself and I am 221. Pretty happy with those results in only 5 days - thank you sleeve!!!

I came home yesterday and my pain was through the roof, probably because I had a single incision through my belly button, so all the pain was focused in one area. This morning I am feeling a bit better. I'm looking forward to the day I wake up with no pain so that I can really start to appreciate and enjoy my new stomach Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

So I just got home from the hospital. My surgery was yesterday and I felt totally fine in the hospital - barely any pain on my incision (I had a single incision through my belly button) or gas pain. I've now been home for two hours and my pain is almost unbearable. I have a constant feeling that I need to throw up, my belly button is brutally painful, and my body is so swollen I feel like a balloon. I know I need to walk and sip Water, but walking is almost impossible right now, even though I took my pain medication. Did this happen to anyone else? Does anyone have any tips for me?

Officially sleeved! Surgery went amazing. I am happy to report that I have ZERO pain/soreness. I feel very lucky! I've been able to go on long walks in the hospital and I feel excellent. I hope everyone else who had surgery today is having the same luck! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App -

Anyone doing a restrictive diet before the liquid diet?
vleesleeved replied to letsbelosers's topic in PRE-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I went on one myself! A week before my two week liquid only pre-op (that I am in now, on day 4) I completely cut out caffeine/soda and carbs, and only had a Protein shake for breakfast/lunch and then some grilled chicken for dinner. It helped so much and now the liquid only pre-op diet has been a breeze so far. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
