Thanks, it passed without coming up. I guess I'm still getting use to the feeling of being full with the sleeve. I now know how it feels and when to stop. Start puree today after Dr. visit.

I ate too much this morning, yogurt and cottage cheese. Feel like I could throw up, can I should I ? Will I hurt my sleeve?

Start full liquids today. I read one person say restrictions don't really show up until your on regular food again.

Sleeve done Sept 5th, sipping everything no problem. Feel no restriction thus far on clears. Monday I start full liquids. I do feel a slight fullness with 3 oz of water lower down I guess in my new pouch.

Thank you, you have lost 52lbs in 2 weeks? Pre and post diet? Still on liquids?

Sleeve Sept 5th and need to know which supplements and vits folks are taking. It's hard to find a one a day or all in one.

My understanding is hydration is primary concern 1st week. Sip sip sip all clears no protein until 5 days out?

Talked with surgeon Monday 8/26. Asked all kinds of questions about restriction and hunger. He assures me I won't be hungry and he uses a 40 bougie so not like some with 30-36. I just hoping I can get thru the 1st week post op.

Is that restriction normal or does it depend on size of the sleeve? My doctor is going with a 40. I start my liver shrinking diet tomorrow. I loss almost 12 lbs last time.

Band removed in March surgery in Sept. Started in 2008 with first band.

I didn't know it was a pouch per say but I guess it is with the small turn at top of stomach.

Thank you, with the band I lost 100 lbs but blow it out by overeating. Throwing up causing slips etc. I want to feel some restriction and hoping it will be better for hunger that part of stomach is removed.

Just received surgery date Sept 5th. Super nervous. Had band removed in March, had 3 total. Question? How does it feel in terms of restriction? I'm totally aware of how the band felt but does the sleeve have restriction or more of a full feeling and less hunger? I'm really nervous since I don't plan on having another type bypass in the future, I hope.

I'm going to jump in here and say my insurance is making me go to (4) once a month primary doctor visits for nutritional counseling before I can move forward with Sleeve after my Band removal March 26th. Psych Eval next month so it won't be until end of July before surgery. Doctor says no pain from staples but some people have nausea. My ex-port site was only pain from surgery, no gas. Is he correct? Does anyone have pain inside at staples?

He said after "You're a big fella" which translates to me he had a little trouble with scaring after 10 yrs and the port needed to be cut out which is the only pain I have. Huge scare on belly. Came out of anesthesia better then ever, I believe not asking for pain meds helped with recovery. I did take them to rest at home after. May start a new thread about pain level after sleeve as in do you feel the stable pain of just incisions.
