Post Op September Sleevers, Roll Call

[Toyaboo22 51]

was just wondering. why are we eating like we have the rny our valves are the same and works fine its just are tummys a smaller. have you wondered if they every really researched the sleeve after surgery. it seems we follow the same diet as rny. can someone shed some light on this.

I've always wondered the same thing.

I think their "pouches" are much smaller than our sleeves and they don't have the absorption ability anymore, unlike us. We still have some of that. I prefer having my "normal" stomach with its parts, although there are now less of them. I'm going to still take my mobic....surgeon said I could at a month out. So I am.

I've been eating chicken for 2 weeks . Love it.

I also hate the chewable multi. Trying to make myself finish the darn bottle though then moving on to something else.

Wish I knew what I weighed. It seems my scale was being too generous to my whole family so I bought another. Nothing like "gaining" 10 pounds Ina matter of seconds

Just took my son to subway before his championship (needed to add that) baseball game. Anyway- I was sooooo excited because they said I could make any of the sandwiches into a salad. So my oven roasted chicken breast and veggies (and yep mayo too) is tasting good. Been working on the the last 30-40 minutes and not even half gone. About to throw it away. Sure was nice to be able to do this though

Has anyone gotten a UTI? I want to know if its common? I know I have one, but I'm just doing over the counter uristat and cranberry juice. I'm not sure if its because I'm down 53 lbs and my fiancé can't keep his hands off me literally every night . Or if this whole ketosis thing is messing with me... I get occasional kidney pains. But..... I'm more than thrilled with how the weight is falling off me! So I can deal with the UTI!

Did you eat something that didnt agree w/ you maybe & I haven't thrown up yet @ all but ate to fast for lunch & felt like I wanted to but never did - trying to eat slow is kind of getting on my nerves - I try to wait 1 min or so before I take another bite each time

I have not thrown up throughout this entire journey. So thankful for that! I told my NUT I could be the poster child for this surgery

I haven't thrown up but maybe there is something with bananas because I too feel like I need to do that after I have eaten a piece of banana. No matter how ripe it is.

I have not thrown up but i have learned my lesson. My husband bought some ice cream home (it was my favorite before surgery) well i decided that I was going to try it. BIG BIG Mistake. I was sick on my stomach all night. I will never try ice cream again... I wanted to throw up but i couldn't. What an awful feeling.

My dr wants us to wait 10 min between bites of solid food. It's so hard but if I go less than like 7-8 I start to feel yucky full.

Wow 10 min, that's a long time-ig I might try but by the time you take the next bite food is cold - wow sometimes this really suck...
