2.5 years out - Sleeve stretching / Weight gain?
facebro29 replied to NoMoreWeightNJ's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I understand your pain. I lost 100lbs and it seems like that’s it for me. I want to lose another 35lbs but I’ve made bad choices re food and I graze A LOT. My stomach has stretched but lucky enough my weight has only fluctuated 1-3lbs. I need to get back to eat properly again but I don’t know how. So sorry about your loss. I hope you can get back on track again. -
Anyone have any problems digesting lettuce. My dear goodness. Husband wanted to go to a Burger joint so I opted for a salad. Little did I know the lettuce was going to give me chest pains from hell. I had chicken, avocado, egg, bacon and lettuce. Dear Lord I thought I was a goner.

I usually have spinach because I can tolerate that but can't have iceberg lettuce.

I'm a year out and I know what I can't eat. Lettuce gave me a problem at 6 months been but thought I'd give it another go. I only had maybe 4 forks full and I had to stop. Took an antacid as well to help with the chest pains.

Not the eggs it's always lettuce for me and citrus foods. Been sleeved a year now. Thought it would change but it hasn't

For those of you 6+mos out Carbonation
facebro29 replied to Aginn10's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
11 months out and I don't touch alcohol or soda because the fear of heartburn and reflux. Lemons and limes give me reflux as well so stay away from them as well. I was never told not to have soda but definitely told not to have alcohol in the first year. -

October 2016-Surgery Date. Where are you now?
facebro29 replied to Sleevie1981's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
Heeeeyyyyy Kel how are you? How's it going? I never imagined on the 4th Oct 2016 that today I'd be over 100lbs lighter. Seemed it was going to take forever to get there but I'm here now with 38lbs to go!! Want to push to get to that before the 1yr anniversary so will start working out with a personal trainer again. -

Seriously guys I have major problems digesting foods like beef/steak (not mince so much) and definitely chicken. I'm seriously thinking about cutting these out of my diet and just become a pescatarian. Anyone done this after the sleeve? I hate eating. Seriously hate it. If I didn't have to do it I wouldn't.

How do I know if it's GERD?
facebro29 replied to thabenski's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I hardly ever had heart burn before surgery but boy did I have it after. I had a swallow test and they found a small hiatal hernia. Certain types of foods actually still makes it play up but I can control it now. Definitely speak to your surgeon about it. I had to be on omeprazole for about a month to sort it but eventually it has. -
Sleeve next month: are there some foods we will never eat again ever?
facebro29 replied to GotProlactinoma's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
8 months out and there are several foods I can't eat but I'm OK with that because I want the weight loss. A few months out I had a problems with Gerd so anything citrus I couldn't/can't handle, chicken is sometimes hard to digest, ice cream (tried it in Italy) HUGE no no. I'm part of the 'sleeved patients that have experienced the dumping syndrome' but on a few occasions. Everyone is different so you can't really go by mine or others experiences. It's well worth it though if you give it your all and keep in mind it's a process. -
Newbie/Struggling to eat
facebro29 replied to Aaralyn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
And believe me you will get to a point where you will want to eat the house down. It happens I promise. With eating take it slowly. I couldn't wait to chew it was the best feeling!! Even it if was just cheese -
Newbie/Struggling to eat
facebro29 replied to Aaralyn's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
I know you don't want to eat but please do. I'm almost 9 months out and still have days where I can't face eating but I have to. At the beginning, after surgery I had the ambulance called to my house as my blood sugar level got so low they thought I was going into a diabetic coma and I wasn't diabetic!! That wasn't the only time my blood levels were low. Even if it's drinking a protein shake (funnily enough that's what I am drinking now) please please please just make yourself follow plan. -
So I'm trying to forget about the numbers on the scale for the moment. Despite losing 94lbs in 8 months I'm still disappointed with the number but oh well. I'm concentrating on NSV Able to comfortably sit in an airplane seat - no seat beat extension Able to comfortably wear a pair of heels [emoji151] YES!! Gone from a size 26 to 16 which I never ever though I'd get here again Exercising loads and my stamina has risen beyond expectation Able to do a 45seconds plank which is a huge achievement for me Last but not least ABLE TO CROSS MY LEGS!!!!! OMG I've never been able to do this but now my legs naturally want to cross So don't beat yourself up about the numbers. Look and be happy with those NSV!!
