African American Sleevers

[Mslnzee2010 83]

Hey I was sleeved on 11/12/12 and I have been able to get down a lot of stuff it almost seems like I didn't get it at if it wasn't for the amount I eat I would think this whole surgery was a fake lol. My surgon does not recommend a liquid diet after surgery pass a day or 2 if your body can take & my body has taken alot . Let me know if anyone else can relate ;0)

I was this same way right after surgery for about the first two weeks I thought I had stretched my sleeve b/c I was able to eat and drink with no problem. Well I am now a month out and I can't eat anything I was trying to eat some steamed shrimp and was only able to eat 2 large shrimps b4 I couldn't eat any more. The thicker the food is the harder it is to eat a lot I can't even eat an entire boiled egg now. I was told the reason you can eat more earlier on is b/c your stomach is still healing. Hang in there you will eventually feel that your surgery was done sometimes I get upset and say man I wanted to eat all of that but then it hits me and I say the reason I had this surgery was so I don't eat all of that. I really hope this helps you.

Lucky you! I feel like this liquid diet is killing me and I am supposed to go until the 26th my surgery was on the 7th...I confess I have had a few bites of very soft things I just had I chew it to mush and I was fine. If I see one more Protein Drink I am going to scream it is making me nauseous just thinking about one....

Hi....I am new and just need to vent...

I was sleeved 10/10 and after two bites I am full and can't get the Protein in without getting nauseous. I am very weak and am hopeful this will pass. Frustrating!

It will get easier I am still working on getting in my protein via shakes. I have never taken in the 60grams yet and I was sleeved on the 7th.I find I can take a little more each day.
