Has anyone used them after being sleeved? I’m 6 months post op and have hit a wall

Anyone else experience this? I have only gained 2 pounds but worried about gaining more. I haven’t changed my diet or anything so I don’t understand!

I drink at least 64 ounces and eat about 800 calories 60+ grams of protien

Has anyone taken collagen since being sleeved? I’m 4 months post op

[emoji115]what she said!!! Totally turned the multivitamin part around for me!! They even have auto ship so you don’t have to remember to order them!

Anything sweet makes me super nauseous! I had a huge sweet tooth before and now I can’t really eat sweet stuff or I regret it

Mine lasted for about 10 days before I saw a change. I actually even gained 1.5 pounds and totally freaked out! Called my dr and they told me that it was just a normal part of the healing process. If it lasts much longer I would call your dr and see what they suggest! Good luck!

Has anyone done Cross-fit since they where sleeved? Is that too extreme? I need a group fitness setting to be successful. I get to bored on my own. Thanks in advance

It's a phase. I went through it too. I'm almost at 10 weeks post op and I have days where I think to myself "what was I thinking" but then I get on the scale and I see the numbers and how my clothes that use to be tight are now way to big and I remember why I did it and can see the progress I've made. The liquids phase was super rough but you will get through it. I know it feels like you will never have food again (trust me I was right there too) but you will. I remember the first "soft" food I had was a scrambled egg and it was the best one of my whole life LOL and I was never really a fan of scrambled eggs to begin with. It's weird how you begin to really appreciate food once you can start eating it. Keep your head up! I promise it gets better!

I had this same problem as well and what worked for me was the PatchMD multi vitamin patches that they sell on this website. No sick feeling and my blood work looked amazing for the first time in years! I highly recommend!

When did everyone start drinking again? My surgeon's office said to wait 3 months post op. I'm not wanting to overindulge but I would like to enjoy a mimosa at the baby shower I'm going to in a couple weeks because heavens knows I will need help getting through it.

If it wasn't my husband's daughter I totally would skip it. Trust me I wish skipping wouldn't have worse implications than going.

Agreed not suppose to use food/ alcohol to cope which I haven't so far but being in room with a group of people who dislike me and who I'm not totally fond of either makes me super anxious. I just need something to take the edge off a little so I can relax and try to enjoy myself. Totally didn't think about the carbonation. I've stayed away from it completely since my surgery on June 29th. Maybe I'll just BYOB my own wine lol

I just got release to start my work outs but I was walking 30 minutes a day. As far as diet, most days I still have at least 1 protein shake. I have been really diligent about eating my protein first. I have "slipped" a couple times with trying to have some ice cream (sweets were totally my thing) but every time I end up feeling so sick, even to the point of throwing up once. So I've really almost cut out sweets completely since they make me feel awful. I usually only drink water since crystal light seems to give me heart burn and so does coffee (both which almost make me sad lol).

Thanks!

I lost 10 with the pre op diet and another 19 at 1 month out. I'm 7 weeks out have have lost a total of 37 pounds total loss

Is anyone else having trouble swallowing vitamins? I cut my multi vitamin in half and can't hardly swallow half without gaging. Prior to surgery I could swallow a while on with no problem.

It's just one patch that I use. It meets the requirements that my surgeon had. Here is the link: https://store.bariatricpal.com/collections/vitamin-patch/products/multivitamin-plus-patch-30-day-supply

I have switched to the patches that they have and the BariatricPal store and I really like them! I have no sickness at all and my blood tests all look good! I would highly recommend.

I had surgery on 6/29 and went back after my post op appointment 7/10. I was ready for the most part but was tired by the end of the day

I thought the pain was very manageable. The worst part for me was the gas pains but once those were gone I was fine. I had a c-section with my son and that pain was way worse!

Can you eat very soft veggies during this phase or do they still need to be pureed?

I am almost 3 weeks post-op and was just curious when actual hunger returns? I haven't felt it at all since surgery. I drink my protein shakes when I am suppose to even if i don't feel hungry to make sure I get the recommended amount of protein. And I try to get in 64 oz of water but most days its tough. Thanks in advance!

Mushy stuff hasn't bothered me much. I've only been on pureed food for 1 day as of now. The water thing has become habit as well. I just have to make sure I stop before i eat to make sure i'm getting enough nutrition.

So exited about finally having a food I can chew for the first time in 5 weeks!!!! Best scrambled egg of my life lol
