October Sleevers-How Ya Doin?

[DawnyBoca 7]

I had the same problem and spent post op week 3 in the hospital. Less than 24 hours after I stopped eating/drinking anything dairy I was 100% no maybe 110% better. You may want to try that. I even tried eAting a ricotta bake last night and was nauseas all night. Sleevers often have lactose intolerance after surgery from what I hear. Good luck!

I hope this is not true - I love my dairy. Is it temporary ?

I'm just home from my PCP appointment. Today I'm at exactly 3 weeks post-op and my total weight loss (w/ clothes & shoes on) is 40lbs from surgery day. Good news' date=' I think?

Bad news is I'm not getting enough Protein in. Nausea is still an issue so the doctor prescribed Zofran. Protein Shakes make me ill so if anyone has any suggestions, I'd be happy to hear them! (Still in the puréed phase for one more week.)

I hope everyone is doing well!

If it was me, I would call my dr. Don't want to mess around with that

I'm a cheese fanatic myself so I know how you feel! Both my kids had lactose intolerances when I was nursing so I've given it up for them. I don't like giving it up for myself but I don't like feeling nauseas either. Let me know if it works.

Anyone have an issue with Constipation? Not sure if I am but haven't gone in 3-4 days now. Wondering if I should take some Colace or just wait it out?!?

I was sleeved Oct 23. Now that I'm on soft food I go every day or two. Try Miralax. It's gentle and one dose worked for me. Also be sure you are getting enough liquids.< /p>

Thank you! I went 5 days and took a Colace it worked AND I lost 6 lbs! Lol

I was sleeved on the 22nd of October. I am starting to feel a bit better. I have felt great since I woke up from surgery other than the damn chest pain from the hernia repair.

As far as weight goes I was down 25 lbs at the beginning of this week.

I only weigh in on Monday and measure.

Surgery was on the 30th. I am still having a hard time eating all my food, went to my 2 wk post op appointment on Wednesday, I'm a little dehydrated and my blood pressure a little high. Hot flashes keep me up every 2 hrs, needless to say I am exhausted My doctor told me there was really no science behind the eating schedule and if I could tolerate eating cottage cheese and other foods on that list, to go for it. My NUT said "no". My taste buds are still off…have a hard time with the Protein Shakes and Vitamins. Other than that I am so happy I did this!

I have the lactose intolerance too. It stinks! I'm such a cheese fanatic. I hope it doesn't last forever.
