Hi everyone. So I recently found out I am 5 1/2 WEEKS pregnant. I am 11 months Post OP from a Bariatric Sleeve. I understand you are to wait to conceive well after a year and a half to two years however life happens lol. I am looking to start Pre Natal pills and really want to chose the best option as you know as a Bariatric patient you already lack those necessities in vitamins and nutrients. I just really want a healthy baby! Thank you all!!

Hi everyone! I was sleeved a little over two weeks ago (1/31/17). I am now stating the next stage where you have two shakes a day and one solid (proteins). I referring to the packet and list of all acceptable foods. chicken, eggs, chili... etc. however I'm just a little concerned. To be only two weeks post op and eating such foods. I'm worried to stretch my stomach however my surgeon approves of this list provided. Just seems crazy to be eating eggs and chicken and whatever else is on the sheet so soon. I spoke to the nutritionist and it's allowed. Anyone else thing the same or have any comments ???? Thanks so much !!!

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 1/31/17. Today is my two week post op. I have lost a total of 12 pounds in 14 days. Feeling super super discourage. Some people have lost that in a week. I know I should NOT compare myself to another as everyone and their bodies are different however just feeling a little discourage and down. Not sure if this plays a major factor but I was not passing bowel nor drinking my required protein requirement nor liquid. My nutritionist says the protein intake and liquids is what makes the weight loss. So not sure if me not losing mor had anything to do with that. Please advice anyone. Thanks so much and Happy Valentine's day to all!!!

Totally experiencing the same thing. Like massive heartburn reflux pain!!!!! Wheneverrrr I eat any sort of solid. It's horrible ! Calling my MD. I was informed to make sure I'm taking my reflux med that was prescribed. Good luck !

Hi everyone. I was sleeved on 1/31/17. I am not entering solid proteins. However super nervous to stretch my stomach. I can't keep much down anyway with bad heartburn and feeling sick. I know the stomach is a muscle so it's made to stretch but how easily can one stretch their stomach after a sleeve gastrectomy. Super nervous. I always want a small skinny stomach lol. TERRIFIED to stretch my stomach LOL. I'm hoping it takes a lot to really stretch from the size made after the sleeve. Please advice !!! Thank you everyone!

Thank you! But I was told it stretches. So worried lol.

Thanks hun! It's just so weird every surgeon has such a different diet plan

This is incredibly helpful and happy to hear. Thank you so so much to hear. I know I'm always hearing that I need to get my protein in or I won't lose weight. It's been hard but I WANT to lose a lot lol. So I am getting better !!!

Is anyone else eating eggs or solids two weeks post op?? I am so incredibly nervous to follow my diet advancement. I don't want to stretch my stomach lol. However the doctors know what their doing. I tried eggs. Massive massive heart burn.

It DEFINITELY get better. I'm two weeks post op. And definitely feeling better compared to that very beginning. Hang in. Your only two days in. It gets better !!!!

So true. Thanks so much doll!! Yeah it just doesn't seem right eating solids just yet and I hear from others that we're on shakes for like a month or more lol. Crazy confusing however my diet plans shows it okay. Ugh. Lol. Thank you so much.

So I am 11 Post of. I was sleeved on 1/31/17. I have had the normal pain by the large incision are where the stomach was cut and removed. However I am sick and have been cough (which hurts) and earlier today had like a coughing attack. And ever since thay I have been in pain in that area more than usual and definitely more then ever experience thus far. I'm super worried that I may have harmed myself. Hernia, pulled something , torn a stitch. I am HOPING my cough just like strained something and that's why I'm in such pain. Please help. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

My sheet that was provided to me advising me of the stages in foods I can and cannot eat. Obviously Right now I am on shakes. However the sheet mentions Low Sodium broth. Am I able to have chicken Soup (BROTH ONLY). Sure it is not low sodium. Was not sure if this is okay. Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App

I bought unjery. However I was out at a restaurant. Did not have my shake so I ordered chicken broth. Not sure if that was a bad idea. Since I'm sure it was not low sodium. Only had half a cup. And thank you!!! Sent from my iPhone using the BariatricPal App
