I was wondering if anyone uses my fitness pal? I had the gastric sleeve on Tuesday so I'm 4 days post op. I would like to have some people to follow so I can have good examples of what others are doing. I'm still on liquids now, but would like some support for the future.

Sounds like it's the gas pain. It will get better.

It gets easier, hang in there!

I was just resleeved on Tuesday. It's possible!

Mine had McDonald's. I don't even like McDonald's but it was so hard sitting there 3 days post op. -
3 days post op
samskiles replied to Ready4aNewStart's topic in POST-Operation Weight Loss Surgery Q&A
You are lucky to be on puréed foods already. I had my sleeve done Tuesday and was put on liquids for 21 days post op. I want some texture so bad! -
Has anyone had the gastric sleeve a 2nd time? I go on April 25th to be re-sleeved and have what is called a fundectomy. I am just wondering if anyone else has done this so I know what to expect. From what I hear from the doctor it should be just like the first time I had the sleeve surgery. For those curious, I had the surgery almost three years ago and was self-pay. The process went extremely fast and before I knew it, I was having the surgery. (The whole process took like 4 weeks since I was self pay.) Turns out I wasn't prepared for the surgery and didn't do very well long term. I didn't utilize the nutritionist or therapy and I am back to where I was pre-surgery. This time around I have done all the necessary steps to prepare myself for this life change and fell that I am ready to do this again and be successful! Just wondering if anyone else has has had this done? Please no negative comments!

The first time was a band to sleeve revision and I had so much scar tissue that I don't think the dr was able to remove as much as my stomach. I am using the same doctor and he is going back in to resleeve and do the fundus.

How has it been for you? I get re-sleeved on Monday.

My doctor did the EDG and saw it had stretched.

It was stretched.

I just had my one meal that I get a day and I swear I'm feeling like I would rather be fat then go thru another day like today! I'm feeling super frustrated. -

Binge eating and finding a therapist
samskiles replied to PAstudent's topic in Gastric Sleeve Surgery Forums
I have the same issues and my therapist stresses mindfulness as well. It's hard but it's all in our heads. It truly is about being mindful of what we are putting into our mouths and why. Good luck!
