Sleeved December 20th and down 34 lbs. I can really start to feel a difference. -
I am also at a three week stall. Very discouraging. I am definitely not eating enough to gain. Please keep me posted on your journey. I would love to hear about it.

What is eating like 6 months or more after gastric sleeve?

Did you find that you go through stalls in weight loss? I am 5 1/2 weeks post op and have not lost anything in 3 weeks. Tell me there's hope!! lol. -
I was sleeved on 12/20/2017. I also have no appetite. I may get 15 grams of protein a day. It takes me 2 hours to eat a 6oz yogurt. Water sits to heavy in my stomach so I have mixed in SF Kool Aid packets into it and it goes down a lot better. I have learned the hard way that I have to take extremely small sips at one time, and take small spoonful of food spaced out in order for me to feel normal. Otherwise it feels like it gets stuck in my chest area. I hate to admit this, but this process is for some reason way harder than I had originally thought. I am hopeful things even out and get better as time progresses.

Congratulations! You look great! -
Thank you for the tips! I'm sure it is extremely helpful to be able to ask your sister if things are normal. I would love that. I will keep plugging away and getting on Amazon as we speak.

I am at the same stage as you! I am struggling also getting any kind of calories in. I struggle getting my protein in also. What kind of protein shake do you drink?

I was just sleeved on December 20th and I am struggling also to get any type of food in. I am on soft food and it feels as though it gets stuck. I might be getting around 400 calories a day. Tell me it gets better.

Hello everyone! I'm new to this group and was sleeved on December 20th. For the last week I have been experiencing a tight almost sick feeling in my chest area when I go to eat and drink anything. Is this normal? If it is, I am hoping this goes away.
