I had the sleeve done 10/19 and then had severe GERD about two months after and the doctor put me on omeprazole once a day then upped it to twice a day. Nothing helped. I also had a hilated hernia. So he decided to do the bypass on July 2020. About not even a day later I was having bleeding issues. So I had to go back in for surgery for them to fix it. So I had two surgeries in two days. I stayed in the hospital for a week. This was worse than the three c sections I had. Four weeks later and I’m still in pain. I’m not trying to scare you but just sharing my experience. My doctor said I was the 5% that this would happen to. So maybe I just had some bad luck that day I don’t know. I haven’t had to take any of my omeprazole. I haven’t had any GERD symptoms. So far it’s been worth it for that but otherwise I’m still figuring out if it’s been worth it altogether. Good luck in your decision!

I had my sleeve done 10/7/19 and just found out I might be getting a bypass done. Acid reflux has been horrible, my hilated hernia came back even worse than before and i have severve esophagitis.

Has anyone had a long weightloss stall? I'm talking months. It's been since January since I've lost any weight. Idk doesn't seem normal to me. I'm 6 months out and i thought i was still in the honeymoon phase.

Ok thanks! This is definitely hard to figure out when you think you're doing everything right but the weight just isn't coming off. Not eating enough or eating too much.

Anyone experiencing right side pain 6 months post op?

Thanks I did call my dr!

I have been having the same problem!!

I'm about 6 weeks out and just wondering if it's ok to have a whole protein shake at a time now for a meal? I've been just having 4oz at a time three times a day for my snacks. If anyone has any tips for me I'd love to hear from you🙂

Ok good! I wasn't sure. Thank you!!

I had mine the 7th and it's going well. I was just wondering if anyone is having a weightloss stall? For the last 2 weeks I've only lost 2 pounds. To me I kinda thought I'd lose maybe a pound to 2 pounds a week? Idk. Just wondering if anyone else is going through this

Anyone have any good ideas to get more protein in coffee? I've done the premier protein in expresso but i mean in the morning i just want a nice hot cup of coffee. For right now i can have 4oz of protein 3 times a day so i was going to try some whey protein first. I just love coffee mate creamer so this is gonna be a challenge. Any ideas welcomed!! Thanks in advance🙂

Ok thanks! I might try both ideas. I have both types of protein

Anyone dealing with trying to cope with their food addiction and recovering from gastric sleeve surgery? I know this surgery should be used as a tool and the whole food addiction should go out the window. Sometimes I just think how long it's been since I had a cookie or chips or something like that. Then my head goes crazy. I haven't gotten my appetite back so it's not like I'm starving and just wanna binge on food for that reason. I probably sound crazy to most people. I guess it's just been hard preparing meals for my family and i just sit down with 1/4 cup of tuna. Ok so this is probably more of a vent. Halloween candy everywhere and I'm just venting lol This is supposed to be a new lifestyle!

October 7th 🙂🙂

October 7th 😁

My surgery was October 7th. My dr didn’t have my do a liquid diet before the surgery just phase one of south beach a week before.

My doctor actually said i could sip on a cup of coffee the day I was leaving the hospital. He said that if I am a coffee drinker already then it should be ok. And it's just small sips.

I actually haven’t felt hunger yet. I’m sure it will happen soon but yeah that’s a good question because our minds play such a big role in this. The mind games!!

I am working with a dietitian through my surgeon but not counseling. I was thinking about looking into that. Thank you for your advice! 😊

I had my surgery the 7th and I’m going back to work the 28th.

I love Premier protein the chocolate flavor. I get it usually at the bulk store around me. I just bout Isopure unflavored protein to try and add it to stuff to get more protein in. Hopefully it's not bad. Goodluck!!
